Anyway, I was just gettin' ready to roll down my window (good thing I didn't) and there he went hitting head on into my driver-side mirror. It's a good thing it's a folding mirror. He just went "DONK!" and then just kinda flew up in the air, and landed on the road. I think he was still flapping around.

I hate roadkills, and I feel really bad about it, but there's not much you can do when a bird just flies right into the side of your car. Stupid bird.

I don't know if it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, but it's definitely the coolest.
I had my STi for a few weeks at the time and I pulled up next to a minivan at a light one day. This kid in the back seat rolls down the window and yells to me, "HEY! HEY! I HAVE THAT CAR IN GRAN TURISMO! HOW'D YA GET IT?" I just replied to the kid, "Credits.....lots of credits....." It was pretty cool.

I think only 2 hondas around here actually have any real mods that work and are owned by someone that actually knows why they did it. A good portion of the detriot boys and girls know what they are talking about or have the ability to ask intelligent questions. And as for the gay wagon owners, the article I read said lesbians specificay. Which my wife sometimes says I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body but thats not the discussion here so I leave it at that.

Ok, I think the Camaro argument/dispute/ who's ***** is bigger thing, is done. No more comments on that please.
My "friends" keep asking me when I'm gonna get a BOV and CAI..... ( owns a civic, go figure) I try telling him that's not the best thing for my car, and that the money could be better well spent on other things like DP, Cobb AP, etc. Andddddd then it forum's a 1-2 hour long argument on how he know's more about "my car" than I do.

I drive a pretty close to stock STI and a lot of people always ask me something like, "how long did it take to make your car look like this?" And then I calmly explain that the giant hoodscoop, wing, and blue interior all are standard. This always happens.
A lot of people, girls especially, get thrown off by my turbo timer. I always get, "is your car still on?"
But I think the funniest was when my friends gf asked if STI's always came with pink stickers or if I chose that color myself.
