Disclosure: Honda Cars Philippines Inc. kindly lent me a 2023 Honda Civic Type R FL5 for nine days. It arrived with a full tank of fuel and loaded RFID cards. AutoFun Philippines paid for additional fuel, toll, and a carwash. The word “legend” gets thrown around an awful lot nowadays. Social media is awash with so-called legends, supposedly because they achieved some incredible metric online (a gazillion followers/subscribers) or for some insane (and often extremely dangerous) act. A little etym
