so in a matter of a week..

both of my brothers out did me with their cars. my older brother used to have a 2000 alero and he liked it at first but that grew old quick. his lease is supposed to be up in december so i have been on him to get the RSX-S. a few days ago we went to the 3 acura dealers in town and he drove the base and the type S just to get a comparison, and when we went I brought an older honda tuning mag that breaks down the two engines and the strengths of the internals etc. and the salesman starts looking through it on the test drive and is talking about how the type S is so much stronger and better etc. which is true, but he was just using it as a selling pt. so when the day was done my brother hadnt bought anything yet because he was going to look at the celica GT-S and the WRX. and i figured he wouldnt get anything until the lease is up on his alero. so the other day im at work and he rolls up in a silver RSX-S, black leather etc and he took me for a ride. we couldnt really get on the test drive model, but my brother had this one for about a week and had been driving a lot (he travels a lot with his job) and he already had 400 miles on it. it wasnt fully broken in, but he still rode it pretty high. its a sweet ride. i told him about the mis-shifting problem (thanks neo) and he didnt notice it until i pointed it out, but it is very possible.
so then my younger brother, calls me on my cell phone at school yesterday and he goes "have you been home? did you see my car?" hes had a POS 1996 ford bronco. so i pulled in the driveway last night and he bought a 1998 grand prix GTP. it has about 55K miles on it, but it runs very well and it MOVES. holy crap is that thing fast. i think its specs are like 260 HP and 260 lb-ft torque but i didnt witness it until it threw me back a little (im used to my little 127 horses here) so they both have cars that will destroy mine, but i knew that when i bought my civic, but hey at least i got them on gas mileage
