Two Hondas, a Porsche and a WRX cruisin

OK, last round of pictures for a very long time, I promise!

Went on a cruise today with some friends who drive a Subaru WRX, Porsche Boxster and a Honda VFR800 bike. It was a very hot day today but still enjoyable and the high speed spirited driving thru the mountains was an adrenalin rush!

Overall, the Civic performed very well. But of course I got a little left behind on the long straights when the others opened the taps...come on, its a Porsche and a turbocharged WRX...and a 800cc bike! Those things simply hammer.

how well did the civic perform on the turns in comparison? I'm a little curious. I know the civic is out of its class, but you do have the weight advantage and you can power out of turns since your fwd to compensate.

The Civic is not as bad as one may assume in this company. For the most part, I was able to keep up with both cars in the twisties. The bike, of course, left us all for dead!

The bottom line is this cruise was not a race to see who had the fastest car. I knew I had the slowest car in the group and I made no effort to pretend it wasn't. Today was about a bunch of friends who just got together to do something we all mutually enjoy - a spirited drive into the mountains.

^ should've been more careful....at least you learned a valuable lesson. cars are replaceable.

looks like some nice scenery though, and nice weather to go along with it.

I hear you. We were very careful and each driver drove to their own limit which they felt comfortable with, and slowed down to regroup often. Which would explain why there are no actual pics of the twisties...coz I was busy concentrating on all the corners so I wouldn't end up down the bottom of the cliff!

Well, I got tons more pics stored on my hard drive...even lots of the wife's CR-V on the beach, doing creek crossings, etc. But I've probably overdone it with all the pictures already so will hold off for a while. Might get bumped off!

naaaawww dont worry about it, i think if anyone had a prob with you posting pics they would ask u not to post pics and you would get negative rep. So dont stop doing what you are doing, we like
