Unhappy Rain + vtech = :(
It''s been raining/drizzling here on and off for the past few days and I'm getting vTEC withdrawals Can't punch it like on those dry pave days.

How do you snow bound guys make it through those long wet winters???

Why can't you punch it?
As for the snow... you may not being going anywhere but you are still hitting VTEC... without an H

BTW NBP FTW!

I think it's kinda fun, start off slow and punch it in 2nd and when Vtec kicks in it spins the tires, fun!

Just because we get snow doesn't mean that once it falls the roads dont get cleared......

We do still have "nicer" days in winter, sure they are cold, but the roads are dry so we can it up!!!
