Looks like they hired the Traxxas RC car paint scheme designers. Not good on a 10/th scale car, let alone a 1/1 car.
The local (Toledo, OH area) dealers are kind of infamous for not ever ordering cars in actual colors anymore. When I was shopping, I kept finding one car after another correctly optioned, except for the color, or lack of one. Silver, the awful Destroyer Gray, White, black, “Granite”, and “Platinum”, sure, but a red…
WTF is with these awful colors? More like “sorta ____ color”. Just awful.
At first, I thought there was a possibility that the cops thought they were pulling over someone else, and went off the deep end. That apparently wasn’t the case, the videos seem to show they knew who he was and swarmed him, for whatever reason. From the videos I watched, I didn’t watch them all, it seemed like he…
I think the present Accord is pretty ugly, but IMHO, almost all “modern” cars are ugly, more some than others, but the shape is the same in almost all of them, with different angry bug front ends and weird rear ends.
I’ve wrestled with a baby Chimp, and it was crazy strong, but I would totally pass on Rags to have another tussle with her:
I’m 67, and I swear I will never be old enough to buy a damn Accord. I just spent a month in an Accord Sport rental car and I totally don’t get the love of them, or any Honda vehicle, at all. Bad seating position, seat wouldn’t go back far enough, another 3/4" would have been great, I hated the “tablet glued to the…
I was on I15 heading into LA in the summer of 77, and suddenly a lot of cars ahead of me started slamming on their brakes and for about 2 seconds, I was like, “WTF is going on?” and then I understood when the wave of the quake hit my section of the road, and the DJ on the radio said, “That’s an earthquake folks!”, or…
I wish I was as tough as she was. Not even close.
If my mother was still alive, her only real comment would be, “The kid was just a bad driver!”, as she was driving by herself in Lincoln, Nebraska by age 10 (1935) with full knowledge of the local police, who would see her and say, “Be careful honey!”. She mostly drove at night, picking up her always drunk uncles from…
The “Acorn Cop” needs a job.
This is about the only positive thing to ever happen at Subway. It’s still only a desperation stop for me, but at least I can drink what I love. I’m still pissed at Culver’s for switching to Coke stuff. At least they still have decent sweet tea available. And most of the time, it actually is cold and has ice in it.
I can’t say I like it much. The front is...OK, not special or great, just OK, but that rear quarter...wow. Not good, ugly for ugly sake? And those awful wheels. WTF is with so many cars having awful looking wheels?
Yuck.
I had the opposite experience back in 2009. I was slammed by my mother’s medical expenses(Meds and incontinence, etc) and her credit card bills. I was on most of them, so I was on the hook too. They originally approved $125,000 to refinance the house, which would have allowed me to pay off the cards, do some needed…
Shit, it took over 3 decades of wrecks for the county/state (Lucas County, Ohio) to install a damn turn signal at an intersection. I’m proud to have been in the wreck that apparently pushed them over the edge, after 3 traffic studies, a fatal wreck once a year or so, and a monthly “big wreck” that got nothing done. I…
Mine are at least the midrange stereo. Even as deaf as I am in my right ear I can tell the difference between the base and upgraded systems. I had a rental Accord until a few days ago, and it had the middle stereo in it, and well, Honda should be ashamed. Almost, almost as bad as the system in my 2000 Sierra 1500.…
I know and have worked with people who have done pretty much the same thing. Put nothing down on a new car, pay a huge interest rate on a 6 or 7 year loan, and then have to either bust their ass to make extra payments to get the the car paid down so they can get it sold and paid off, or just make the extra payments…
The roller skate one. I saw a new white one being picked up yesterday, as I pass by the Buick/GMC dealership pretty much every day. I drove one of the roller skate ones a couple of years ago, and it scramed “Penalty Car” to me. I haven’t even sat in a new one. Maybe today at the car rental place? I want my damn car…
