did i mention girls and soccer?

I call her Kara.
Kara is a bad ass in my opinion.
She's not the fastest thing on the streets, but she's quick and nimble. She dosn't throw huge numbers on the dyno, because one; she's never seen a dyno and two; I have to pay for college and all kinds of stuff. So unfortunately, building her really fast and super impressive has to take backseat for my education. I could do the easy thing and buy cheap parts from eBay and non-reputable name brands, but I value my car so I decide to fork out higher dollar amounts for trusted names. It costs me more, but I feel it's worth it because this is my car I'm adding stuff too and I dont want it fail due to taking the easy way out. So she's a work in progress.

I picked my DC2 bcause I was looking for a car and wasn't really into the tuning scene until I found this car. It had some shitty basic mods, which I have completely replaced. They were ricey upgrades basically. I just wanted a car and found this one so I got it. It had the rims which was a big selling point for me. Then I thought I was the coolest kid on the streets until I figured how rice the car was. Then I began researching good parts and reading magazines (Import Tuner, Modified, and Super Street) and thats when I really got into tuning. And I love it. I went from a kid who didn't even know that Acura was Honda to someone know who is in love with cars in a matter of a couple of years. They are my obsession and addiction. My dad tells me all the time he's impressed how much I know about cars now and that I am even in to them. He never pegged me as a car guy. Haha.
