I own a 2000 Type R heavily modified, i am still in High School, so there are alot of ignorant kids there, for all you type r owners don't you love this question, "Is that a REAL Type R?" those ignorant bastards. It's happened countless times. I also have a carbon fiber hood and repeatedly asked why i have a "Black Hood". Sorry guys to rant, but i've just been bothered by this. Respond to this if it has ever happened to you or if u have any feedback.

something like this was posted a week ago. I however am happy that I didnt have a R in high school I would have to check it after every class!
must be nice to have a type R and be in high school. I had a 66 gto when
in high school 1984!!!

 

Yea well what do you expect from high school kids...

 

Yeah some high schoolers are ignorant, but i have a lot of friends who know a lot about cars, and i have no enemies, so no one ever screws with my car. Its a nice school, so i don't have the nicest car, my friend did get keyed. I got the car as a gift from my father before he died, so i was kinda blessed.

 

not to nitpick, but in your sig, it says mugen headers..

the itr only has one header

 

I dont know how many times I was asked why my hood was black on my old Milano Red Si. I guess its just something you have to deal with.

Yeah we just get used to it, but girls are the worst. A few know their stuff. And to the earlier reply i think thats the definition of nitpicking

 

i drove mine to high school everyday last year before i got my crx and i had this one kid whose was positive that there were never any type R's in america and no matter how many times i told him he still thought that i just painted my gsr yellow. I also checked on it every chance i had i also sat by the window so i could see it during class.

 

Yeah I'm in high school too. There are lots of guys that would just love to steal my car. If they can't steal it, then they'll key it or steal the red emblem from the front and rear of the car.

 

First off while not a feminist by any means- don't negatively lump the girls. By looking at them as "the worst" you are doing nothing to encourage them into understanding the passion behind both cars and driving. I laugh at you as I realize that if I were to ask you a question about your car, you'd probably lump me into that category before realizing your horrible mistake as I jumped into my Type R and drove away.
Second off if you are truely bothered by the "is that a real Type R" questions and explaining performance mods, why on earth do you have the car? If you don't like talking to people who are interested in it, don't drive a car that attracts attention. Just go out and get yourself something thats a dime-a-dozen, the questions will stop.
When I clicked on this thread I was expecting more like gripes like- people trying to steal it (yes its happened to me- luckily they were not successful), or the stock headlights suck- not gosh darn people keep inflating my ego by asking about it....
