me- "so what?"
them- "i dunno...it must mean something."

Damn Honda Guru......good call right there....even if thats not it, it sure sounds good.

O yeah............G Reddy........not GEE Reddy.

And all of us with our Greddy Cat-backs should know it is TRUST in Japan. It says manufactured by Trust on the box!

HondaGuru while your at do you know why they didn't just call it Trust here too........was it for marketing purposes or something????
