I never said anything was shit. I only said I hate Hummers because they are a danger to me on the freeway. Just don\'t say my car is shit when you have no rational reason for that statement. When you say nonsense like that, I have to respond. We wouldn\'t be talking about Hondas if you hadn\'t brought it up.
Longevity: You\'re right, we don\'t really know yet because my car\'s first model year was 2000. BUT... May I ask how many miles are on your engine? Has it ever been replaced or rebuilt? I would just say that one often encounters Hondas that are still running strong at 150,000, 200,000 miles or more. Fords... well not so much. :o
Build quality is something that\'s qualitatively measured the day the vehicle rolls out of the factory, so there\'s no waiting to evaluate that one. Honda wins over Ford according to every sane person. I\'ve owned Fords before I know of what I speak.
As far as emissions, the S2000 is a LEV, and benefits from Honda\'s extensive research work on emissions reduction. I can absolutely guarantee that it has better emissions than your 1971 Ford. There\'s no way this cannot be true.
This part is the most absurd: "You obviously like to go really fast in a straight line on a smooth surface so you got a honda." If I wanted to go fast in a STRAIGHT line, I would have bought a Camero or a Mustang or some other boring muscle car that is all engine. The S2000 is designed for cornering, but I\'m not surprised a truck guy doesn\'t know anything about cornering. Do you like NASCAR too?
