Prius.
Yes. I referenced it in my first post in the thread.

LOL this is sooooo true! My girlfriend took my car to the store the other night and when she returned she tells "I have a confession to make. I just had sex with your car...."

As for EP3's, they certainly can be super sweet. For example:

Am I the only person who thinks Civics keep getting more and more boring? Sure, they are fun to drive, but they look sooooooo blah! I can hardly tell an SI from a KIA these days.... Actually, I think more KIAs have turned my head in the past year than Civics.....

GE8 gets the bitches? WTF? Maybe by demonstrating that you are frugal and good with managing money? I can't think of many less impressive cars. Great car, fun to drive, but it has all the steamy sex-appeal of a DnD 4EVER! tshirt.

I usually get "You can fit in that thing?"

When I think "Fit" and "sexy", I imagine two middle aged women who know how to make the magic seats live up to their name.

No, chicks think they're cute! My girlfriend loves my car, so much so that she left the lights on twice in a week killing my battery both times

GE8s are chick magnets. Plain and simple. I'm not the only GE8 owner that knows that this is true.

GE gives you magic seats and 4 doors.

EP3 has 4 disc brakes and sportier seats and interior.
because it looks more like an odyssey then the fit?

Notice she said "Cute," not "Sexy." There's a difference. Though 'GE8 gets the bitches' could be taken as a reference to the cavernous cargo space the vehicle affords. There's room for at least a couple of petite asian babes in the hatch-area once you've filled up the magic seats.

Projector Retrofit, MUGEN accessories... RICE...

You need the reflectors back in there with some good 10,000k DDM HID PNP Kits.

You can't even see the wing from the front of the car... The wing should stick up at least 8" so it can be seen from every angle. And I bet if you open the hood, there isn't even a single Autozone Performance part.

As I said before RICE!!!



very clean...

INSPKR, my white EP3, stock except for upgraded wheels is totally reliable.

I had warped honda front rotors. I fixed it by installing autozone rotors and akebono ceramic brake pads on all 4 corners. No more warped rotors. Ceramic brake pads are not as harsh on rotors as semi metallic and ceramic brake pads grab better.

My shifter is stock and did not fall off like yours. It's still looks new.
