I am quite fond... As a parent, I'm more interested in an ATS-V Sedan though.

Still very happy with my G8 GT, but I gotta think about the future.

In some cases status of reliability is a self fulfilling prophecy- My first Honda Accord was sold to me with repeated statements regarding the reliability of the brand. That Accord was also the first car I've owned that had a built in idiot light letting me know when it was time for maintenance. The light could only…

So ah... What happened?

Agree with most points above- especially on the practicality of beating Alex Roy's record with a non-stop effort. I recall they tried that with a Van in the original Cannonball but had issues with switching the fuel sources- it's been a while since I've read the book so forgive me if my memory isn't as sharp as could…

I watched this video and had a thought tangent: Is it better to be in front of, or behind a driver who is driving like this?

I've always been of the thought that it was better to be behind them so that they couldn't rear-end me at a stop, but then you see a video like this...

Perhaps more following gap?

Also I agree…

Nah. It'll be the same boring thing. Maybe they will add headlights that look like flashbulbs from the 70's, but that will not make it more interesting to anyone who actually gives a shit about what they drive.
Acura has become the perfect example of how not to maintain a luxury brand. The only thing they have going…

I've day-dreamed about an attempt: what car I would use. How to make the car less conspicuous, or identifiable. What route I'd take, and what co-driver I'd take with me. Reality is that for me a cross country run of this nature is, and will always be a dream and nothing more.

Too damn dangerous, and costly to execute.…

I'll be happy as long as there are still Corvettes in the test drive paddock. I know, it's just a stroll through some cones, but i like Corvettes, and this is a chance to drive one.

who says cell phones are a distraction?

the de-evolution of Acura is very sad. They don't need AWD across the board, they need to fire the design dept, and hire some people who know how to conceptualize, and then execute an attractively packaged automobile.
I was an avid Honda Acura guy- between my father and I are 2 NSXs, 2 MDXs, 2 RLs a TL, a Legend, and…

That is a manual- and it had the factory shift handle on it. Asthetics were different back in 91'. Hell, I'm not even sure really, we swapped our out so long ago... The thing I remember about the stock handle was that there was a little silver plate stitched into it- and i think i see it in this picture.

If you have the 5-speed with short gears, and the short shift kit you will never want for a 6th gear.

critical on the 91's- make sure the car isn't in snap-ring range, or if it is that the service was done to correct.

You might be shocked how good that 3.0 can sound. I'll grab a sound clip next time I visit my folks in TX. My Dad's 94 NSX has Taitec headers and a custom bent exhaust (made by a company called Paddock) with a magnaflow can. The car has an amazing tone- especially over 5500 RPM

Here is a clip of just the exhaust(This…

I get it, you feel the need to simplify the explanation, but you see, it is different- the theory is the same, but the application is not. Your simplification is akin to saying all internal combustion engines are the same- except they aren't. Yes, they all involve detonation of fuel and air to drive a piston within a…

So, it is not the term that McLaren uses to describe the set up they use to apply measured electric torque in a way that evens out the powerband, and reduce turbo lag on a twin turbo engine then...

Good to know. Someone ought to tell Chris Harris, and McLaren though. They seem to think it's "a thing"

Silly...

If it were built by Ford and it was called a Ranger I'd consider it.

It is Marketing- it is how McLaren describe the function of the electrics in the P1- and Something Chris Harris commented on specifically when he took the P1 out for R&T. It is covered off in the written article. The concept is covered off at the 4 min mark in the video below

Here is the video- because F—- YEAH

My name is Phil

and honestly, the price is around 135k for the i8, so it is still way over my pay grade.

The i8 has a back seat in the same way a bucket can be used as a toilet- it is there, and it works, but no one who had to use it would be happy about it.
