The rules are simple: make me a cover for my official twitter account, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , with something hilariously Honda related. Yes, that means you can totally mock my Honda fangirlism, but it has to be affectionately amusing.

I choose the winner at the end of the day. GO GO GO GO GO.

Is there a limit to how many flatbill caps, “Illest” stickers, and fart cannons can appear in it?

Try to find more info about Acty Crawlers. Kei trucks aren’t very powerful but how can you compensate the lack of power? Adding a half-track setup of course.

Question 1) What was the name of the anime character from your old avatar

Question 2) Are you opposed to it being MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD?

1) Fumi. Manjoume Fumi.

2) Opposed? It’s mandatory.

I will let someone with more skills and photoshop to make this better. But this is what I came up with.

Illegal Machine > Kat Callahan 08/04/2015 at 10:06

Kat,

May I suggest you do a series of tours of random Japanese salvage yards? I had a friend stationed in Japan (Navy) who would walk around and take pictures of all of the Subbies/Evos and Skylines in junk yards. Really fascinating stuff.

Sidebar. He also started buying/pulling JDM parts from said yards and shipped them to the states to people for $$.

Turbo Yoda is awesome, but I dislike that he dislikes Hondas and banished Moog for his S2000.

Agrajag > Kat Callahan 08/04/2015 at 10:15

I could, but it’d probably be at least a week til I have time to do it. I don’t do digital art so it’d probably end up being done with ink tones and water colors.

If someone else here wants to digitally color it, I’m cool with that. They’d probably do a better job than I. Collaborative Oppo art is best art.

I would love for one or the other. Everyone is welcome to do whatever. Remember, the B-Pillars are now BLAAAAAACK though.

If you did want to do ink tones and water colors, I’d pay for it, if you sent me the original (you could send it to my NM address, and I could pick it up when I get there). Having original art of your actual car is really cool.

If I can get a bigger source picture for moog, I’ll do it tonight. Then I’ll also chop in a logo on the shirt.

The caption in the article should read “VTEC just kicked in YO NUTS”, because when the car finally drops down on a suspension with 3” of travel, thats gonna happen lol

In Turbo Yoda’s defense, Moog was asking him if EVERYTHING would fit on his Honda, and that’s just what they showed in the video. I’m sure there was much more than that.

Being in the greys, you’ll likely never see this, but I’m working on something; my artistic skills are limited, especially as I’m not used to drawing with my iPad, but I figured I’d have a go anyway. There’s still a lot I want to do with it, and I’m not even sure it’s the right size for Twitter (i.e - it won’t work) but here it is soon far anyway;

Started to throw some colour and detail at it; needs a background and a few possible improvements, but it looks much nicer than the black and white outline

Any thoughts or criticisms?

Mopar4life > Kat Callahan 08/04/2015 at 12:11

Telling me all the Hondas running around with catless 3” exhaust are any better?

Not only do they violate emissions on purpose, but they produce that annoying buzz akin to a swarm of angry bees, all whilst racing around at what sounds like 100mph (which is actually 25mph).

Kat Callahan > Mopar4life 08/04/2015 at 12:13

1

I am most definitely not telling you that. Quite the opposite, I oppose anyone who would so flagrantly violate emission standards. But my GA3 has a properly functioning, non-leaking, and decent sounding exhaust system. Thanks.

Mopar4life > Kat Callahan 08/04/2015 at 12:14

Around here, this is the state of most Honda’s.

As someone who is here because of Honda and a Honda owner, I still find these hilarious (even though I probably should be looking down at these types of Shenanigans)

If I see it and remember I’ll find the CRV that has chrome wheels, all the stick on vents, a stick on hood scoop, chrome accents, tinted windows, big-ass chrome bumper, tow hooks and some other accents.

Actually, it may be a Rav4.

They’re both the same to me, at this point. I give up.
