idiot

[SilverShadow]

Pull up in my wagon next to this idiot in a 92 sedan.
I said, "You speak English?' (I live in LA)
"ya man", he yells
"hey good work on your CB7, Do you have a computer? see that link on my window...check it out"
" No computer man...Hey it's a Honda not a CB7 can't you see"
I tell him before the light changes to read his vin. He says "what's that?"
I drive away!

We should make a CJ7Tuner.com... just to confuse the hell out of people.

I like the way you think...

[HenRoc]

so you call the guy an idiot because he misunderstood you?

Sometimes people don't make sense.

that'd be awesome if i still had my jeep.

[Mista Juice]

even after i knew what a "cb7" was, i STILL called my car and all others "accords".. not everyone is an idiot just because they call their car what it IS rather than what the chassis code is..

and i call my current car a TL or TLS.. not a UA5..

[King James]

Most people have no clue that cars even have specific chassis codes so its not really all that surprising he didnt know what you were talking about

When I had my first cb with the decals on the windows....anytime I was asked about them (which was rare to say the least) everyone seemed to think it was c87tuner.

I agree... not knowing that it's a CB7 doesn't make him an idiot... but not knowing what his VIN is puts him in that category. I mean, you have to know what your VIN is to register and insure your car!

[WilliamW]

Some people only look at their VIN numbers when they need to register or insure, and it's brief. I can see people still not knowing what their VIN is.

and most likely they just hand over the reg

I would be inclined to agree with all of you if he pulled up in a stock car. But it had nice wheels and exhaust,new paint, lowered. Ok that still doesn't give him knowledge since anyone can shell over $ and get it done. But when I said check out the vin on the dash, he gave me a perplexed look as to say "what's a vin? " Then his response was "Hey this is NOT a CB7..it's a Honda"

[deevergote]

Anyone in the Honda tuning world should at least have some understanding of Honda's chassis codes... I mean, if you've bought a magazine in the past 10 years, chances are you'll see mention of "EG6" or "DC2"... maybe you don't know what CB7 means, but come on...

MOST Honda guys seem to refer to various models by these codes.

[HenRoc]

Yeah but people seem to confuse the Civic codes allot.

EH and EGs are always referred to as the same thing.

But the EG code is a Japan chassis while the EHs are US and Canadian chassis.

CB still retained the same code but they just changed the numbers 3, 7, 9 etc.

[deevergote]

"a lot". Two words.
Sorry... my 6th grade teacher hammered that into my head.

Yeah, we're pretty spoiled... we get the same CB code for every model in our generation. In this group especially, I think we just assume all other Hondas are the same. I still don't know most of the Civic codes (I also don't particularly care... )
