So, I revved my motor up after the end of my drive today. These Accord engines really can rev well. I usually don't rev, but if I am getting tailgated like anything (the word tailgate seems like I created it, cause I remember when I was a lad it seemed like just after I thought of the word tailgate it was all over the news random thought). But, anyways yeah I have an automatic so it obviously can't rev too high but damn that's the best part of the Accord in my opinion. Hopefully a few revs a week don't hurt the engine, any thoughts? That was what appealed to me when this Accord was brand new, and it still feels brand new!
i have a rev session (if you will) with my auto probably once a week, depends what friends i am showing off too.

The most I ever revved mine (automatic) is 6 or 6.5k. But, I usually let the rpms go to only 2 or 2.5 k, or I personally prefer 3k before it shifts into each gear. That is an awesome time! 11 seconds! Chiovnidca is that turbo?
Sometimes, there are some bad drivers that force you to rev (i.e. tailgating). Also, had some person come out of a gas station and that person turned right in front of me! Argh! There's no reason to be an aggresive driver (I believe defense is the best idea). For our sake and our Accords sake.
i rev the piss out of my car day in and day out, and esp at the track. but then again i dont care about my engine cause i have a h22 going in soon lol.

the best thing to do when someone is tailgating you is to slow way way down. Im talking like 20 mph in a 45. usually thyll do 1 of 2 things.... back off... or more commonly, pass you. then after they pass you floor it and keep up with em. man i love pissing jackarses off. im sorry, but when people tailgate me all it does it really piss me off. i like to return the favor.

nah, actually in drivers ed they tell you to slow down if someones tailgaiting you to both decrease their likelyhood of rear-ending you, and to encourage them to pass.
i never tailgate them in return... i just keep up with them. unless their goin waaaay over.

Yeah, I sometimes slow down as well when I am getting tailgated. Also, you got a nice motor even if its non-vtec. I hear those are still pretty fast and reliable engines. The 94-97 are great cars! It makes the Accord look bigger on the outside compared to my generation. I like the 5th and 6th generation a lot!
if someone is tailgating me, 1) slow down 2) turn on my hazard lights 3)turn on my front windshield cleaner fluid so it gets all over their car...thats my 3 step process. the slowing down pisses them off, the hazard lights freak them out, and the windshield fluid on their car pisses them off more. its fool proof, but then again, i rarely get tailgated
