You guys DO realise that alot of people on there dont own BMWs or Porsches. It is specialized towards BMWs, but DTM and the rest of the Teckademics crew has a lot of other cars, MR2 Turbos, MX-6s, amongst others... Its a popular website, and is affiliated with 3 DVDs and a forth one about to come out...
Also, I dont see why Honda/Acura owners, or anyone else gets so upset when someone has a nice car... If you were offered a BMW, you'd take it too... A lot of these people didnt get their cars from their "daddy", me being one of them. Alot of the 19,20 year olds bought M3s and other cars with their own money. I being one of them. Just because all you can afford is a Civic DX, that doesnt make us or you any better than anyone. What makes a person superior when it comes to cars is knowledge and driving ability. Saying that a Honda even compares, or is even in the same class as a BMW is just ridiculous. Yes, you can make a Honda 10 seconds in the 1/4... but what if that BMW did the same set up as you have, and was orginally faster to begin with? Stock for stock (which is where i think the best car should be decided) Hondas dont stand a chance... And for the "you drive the bottom of the barrel porsche" comment, I personally would rather drive any clean Porsche than a supped up Honda anyday... After all... when all is said and done, its still an economy car....
These opinions arent the same as everyone else on DTM, I was just posting this so people wouldnt think that we are a bunch of rich 16 year olds who dont know how to drive. And yes, I hate them too.
Oh my God, you missed the whole point. The point isn't Honda vs BMW, it's the fact that you have a few assholes on your board and picked a fight with us. One asshole's daddy bought his car from him. And no, I
wouldn't "take" a BMW if offered...some of us grasp the concept of working for your posessions. I'll cherish my M3/M5 far more so once I buy it than if my grandparents bought one for me. And believe me, they could...only child of an only child here.
Why are you even comparing Honda v BMW and Porsche? Are you stupid? Noone on here is saying that Honda is better. But I think you need to get your facts straight. The NSX can rip any BMW a new one in a track setting (except for perhaps an M3, but that's different), the TL is a much better car in every respect except its handling in a track setting than the 3-series, and the S2000 will tear apart a $45,000 Z4 3.0i or a Boxster. I guess you aren't knowledgable enough that Honda is probably the greatest engine maker in the world, or don't think that most of us are knowledgable enough to realize that we'd rather have a BMW or Porsche over any of our Hondas. That's obvious. The issue, once again, is the collective immaturity of your community that's been demonstrated.
You sentence about what makes people better...you're a little skewed. Buying a car with your own money
does make you better, at least in my opinion. The feeling of buying a car with your own hard earned money is much more satisying than being given a car...I've experienced both. And your knowledge, from what I've seen, is shit. So don't talk about that
