accord owners vs. other honda owners.
hahaa seems as though in alot of online forums such as honda-tech, team integra.net, etc. alot of the honda owners dont like helping people. especially if they drive a civic or a integra. but i must admit. being new to this online forum the accord folks are hella chill. thanks

I'm in my 40's and just want sufficient power under the hood to get out of the bad situation when needed. I keep my car in perfect condition and not into mods. I stick to OEM or mid to upper grade parts and fix any broken parts ASAP. I guess having 247K miles on my 92 Accord EX proves that I maybe doing the right thing. So, to all the youngin's out there, go mods your civ/tegs and squeeze all the powers you can get from that little engine but don't be sorry when you have cooked up valves, crack cylinders and heads w/ only 30K miles on the power train. There are trade off. I'm sure you will not care until you reach your mature age. Go drifting and spend all your $$$ fixing.

I think it has to do with the way Honda-tech puts you on as a "trial" member and gives you "NOOB" avitar and disables all your features. This causes many people to pick at the fact that your a new member, which in turn, provokes the "Noobs" to lash out. Kind of immature, I'd say.

I second that!
One thing I must add... all the money these kids spend on after market parts for their civic and come out with approx 180HP~200HP; they could have spent that cash on a newer V6 accord with 240HP (2003-2007 V6 Accord) without upgraded engine parts and won't die on you in 30K. Plus the car is more luxurious and you don't feel like you're crammed in a tin can.
(sorry civic owners I just had to point that out)

There is some bitchy-ness on this board as well, but normally it gets kicked in the ass. Most people here are helpful, but I don't think its directly related to age. You don't have to be young to be a prick.
And...I would take my accord ('00) over any pre 2007 Civic any day of the week.
