There's an Xzibit joke in there somewhere.

I have matchbox cars of all of my cars. It's just good fun!

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It must be some sort of achievement to own multiple models of car that Matchbox has made a car of. Matchbox never made a car for my model, but I guess there is always a possibility.

My secret is owning junk that was cool decades ago. Lol

My wife bought me the matchbox car as a "just because" gift about this time last year. It wasn't even 3 months later I got the full-size model. So now I keep the matchbox in my car. I'll put it on the cluster like this when I go to my local cars and coffee as a little easter egg for anyone who looks inside.

She stuffed a few others in my Christmas stocking. I love them. I'd love to have the real things, but I don't exactly have the warehouse to store or the salary to insure them all lol

That's awesome! Gifts like that are the best.

There's a Regular Car Reviews joke in there. "here's my real car, here's my toy car, my real car, my toy car, real car, toy car, real car, toy car"

I think he went to a car show rather than reviewing a specific car

Prelude's been out a while. When are we getting a Lude and the follow up Postlude?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not what you were referring to, but Honda is actually releasing a new Prelude soon.

He's making a joke about pre- meaning before and post- meaning after

Sir! This is a no parking zone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Love it! Did you use double-sided tape to keep it in there?

[–] spicytuna62 1 points 9 months ago

I just keep it in the glove compartment unless I take it to cars and coffee. Then I'll put it on the instrument cluster.

It’s Hondas all the way down.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’m surprised the speedometer has to go up to 245km/h on it.

[–] ChowJeeBai 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's for when the VTEC kicks in yo!

[–] spicytuna62 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I was considering a Scion FR-S, but the vraaaa-AAAAAAAAAA sound that VTEC Hondas make is such stupid fun.

But if I had the money, a new BRZ would be cool as hell.
