1. You own a Honda and you don't know Soichiro Honda? Mr Honda is his renown nickname.
2. What is Hot Rod magazine? Im assuming that was an attemt at an ignorant joke.
Wasn't funny really since Hot Rod magazine was one of the first publications to show the new "Import tuner scene" to the east coast in the mid 90's.
3. No my Honda wasn't a Type R, Neither is yours. But that's irrelevant. What is relevant is that the "Type R" badge is misunderstood by people like you. I know more about honda and it's history then if you sat down for the next two days and read every encyclopedia about them. I know why to like or dislike certain cars from the Type R family and denounce others.
5. I don't know what everyone knows.... but i can clearly see when some Honda asshat thinks he can tell me off, but has no knowledge of the brand period.

idiot.
