Why do Acura guys swap for Honda badges?
It just seems silly and you're not fooling anyone. I get it, JDM is "in". But you don't drive a Honda model--your Integra/RSX is an Acura.
I don't see people swapping their Saturn badges for Opel ones: EDM as f***!
I guess it seems tacky to me, the majority of tuner cars I see this done to are on the verge of beater--primer gray body panels, mis-matched rims, etc. Are likely to have this. Typically clean, well-kept tuner cars do not have this, so the reason I don't care for (and therefore don't understand) the Acura-to-Honda badge swap is because these cars are usually already close to being a hooptie.
By now, there are more "JDM" cars in the States than were ever built in Japan; people are desperate for any modicum of cool, however synthetic, and they're wiling to fake it if they have to. Look at the poor shlubs in here every week begging for ways to import Nissan Skylines.
Don't make generalizations… I'm not a guy… I own 2 Acura's and just bought #3… Been owning Honda's and Acura's for 35 yrs now… Not all people who own certain cars change badges. We aren't all small tuner boys…
- Why do guys try to outrace me? Today I was trying to have a nice drive when a guy in a Cadillac gets on my bumper, then side by side with me, rubs his engine, takes off while staring at me going 75 mph? I've had this happen in mini vans, jaguars, camaros, hondas, everything and anything. I drive a Mustang, half the time they can outrace me anyway why should I care and why are they trying to prove something to me? I think it's mean.
- Bike guys. 92 Honda Shadow. 22,000 miles. Asking $1200. Good deal or not? I'm totally new to street bikes, although I've ridden dirtbikes a lot. Just looking for any insights on the bike itself (I've heard they're fun and reliable) and thoughts on the pricing. I'm not looking for websites or anything, I've already done some research. I'm looking for actual experience.

- Why does my 2014 Civic Si have red honda badges on front and back and on steering wheel? I bought a new Honda Civic Si from the dealership and the guy said that it was one of 10,000 models of that year, it looks nice but i want to know how accurate this is. Why does it have red badges? And why does my engine cover look white instead of black like they are on other Si's? Please answer!
