PEDAL TO THE METAL (Driving habit problem...) - Honda Pilot

AWGD8 · 10-30-2005, 05:00 PM

Do you guys sometimes floor the pedal while driving? (Merging , passing etc.)
I have this bad driving habit that I probably developed while driving small honda cars. (Used to have Civic ex stick, and supercharged Integra R`00)
And those car needed to be reeved to get the balls rolling...Now that I have CRV and a Pilot `05 I still tend to floor my `02 CRV and `05 Pilot (with 3,500 miles only) when needed (Merging if necessary or passing). Do you guys think I`m sick? I`m thinking of sueing Honda for developing this HONDA REEVING SYNDROME....

How do I control this syndrome? Help!!!!

A) Run out of gas
B) put a brick under the accelerator to stop you pressing it so much
c) wire the accelerator pedal to a coil fixed to raise the electric shock as you get faster.
d) Give yourself just ten bucks of gas a week
e) Calculate Mpg

gotta admit I did really floor it the other day, that engine loves to rev doesn't it...... Now if we can just get the car to corner as well......
