I don't hate on hondas, My first car and second car were Accords. I hate assclowns that act all stupid and shiet.

To answer C279a I am a beloved Honda guy. I just happen to own a 2002 WRX wagon that runs 12.78 and one of my sons own a 98 2.5 RS thats been turbo charged . Don't get me wrong I love my subbies. But if i was building a race car or street /race car it would have to be a Honda. My oldest sons (which I built last year in my back yard) Hatch ran 11.32 this year at English town race way in N.J. I would Have to invest another 5 grand in addition to the 5 grand I already have invested to run those numbers.

I dont have a problem with hondas parked next to me..maybe it's just out of coincidence that they park nearby?... I use to think this way too before. Kind of like when hondas pull up next to me on the stoplight but then I realized I just dislike other cars that aren't subarus, so I didn't think much of it after..

It's cuz they want to park next to an AWD SRT-4. 
It always happens though. No matter where you park, someone will park close to you.
BTW, you drive a WRX, not a crazy exotic. Just be worried if someone actually damages your car.

These aren't your Granma's Hondas
They have the tell-tale "I wish I had more episodes of Initial D" paraphenalia.
You have Honda owners (eligible to receive mystic props)
And you have Honda-Ricers. (on a waiting list to get cool points)
Unfortunately my WRX attracts the later of the two.....
But in a sense....it is cool that they seek out my car. They have always parked "respectfully" and do provide a buffer. In essence keeping other "non-caring if they hit your car" people at bay.

I believe it is what my friends call in Indiana the "Ricer Instinct", they see the functional mods of the Subaru (i.e.- FUNCTIONAL hood scoop and in a STI's case massive wing) and they feel comfortable, almost like they are puppies laying next to a warm water pillow and alarm clock rather than their mommy!!. They are just looking to belong in a world of speed that they just dont get! Damn Hondas....

I think this is probably the best bet. I did have a bad a$$ supra with a big fmic park next to me the other day which made me all warm inside. Chances are he wasn't trying to steal any of my attributes through osmosis.

there is nothing wrong with hondas...althought most owners are asshats...the actual cars for the most part are great...
and yes, they probably park next to you so you dont ding their car, probably nothing more than that...
i park my crx away from everyone and next to people's passenger side doors if that is the only option, just in case they drive alone, i have more of a chance of not getting a ding/dent...

I'm not gonna lie, I usually seek out the ricers and park next to them, cuz I know that when ppl see a range rover, they're going to look at that, not a Civic. I'm a thief what can I say?

with that said, there are a lot of immature honda drivers on the road and it is justified to dislike them; but as you can tell, there are enough honda owners on this forum who are exceptions to that stereotype.
oh, if it matters, i myself have a beater honda that i use as an everyday type of vehicle.
