I should also add I think they should come up with better reliable methods of testing for THC DUI’s so we don’t have to rely on articles from an agency funded by insurance agencies. I mean I understand marijuana can effect people differently and the same amount can cause different levels of sobriety but I also see the…

“The new IIHS-HLDI research on marijuana and crashes indicates that legalizing marijuana for all uses is having a negative impact on the safety of our roads,” says IIHS-HLDI President David Harkey. Sounds like they think correlation implies causation. The release doesn’t clearly say that they factored in differences…

This car had A/C though. I’m not sure if it was optional on the ITR’s like it was on the S2000 Club Racer.  

I actually just bought a TV two weeks ago from NewEgg. After seeing a refurbished one on the kinja deals at Walmart I did a quick search of the model number and found them for only few hundred more at NewEgg and they were new units. Since I was in the market I pulled the trigger and two days later I got a text from…

Well it would of been better if in the video he had focused on how they all function together. The Type R engine hes playing with has VTC acutators on the intake and exhaust cams as well as Vtec. So it has variable cam timing and variable valve lift working together. Plus a turbo added into the mix. There is a bunch…

It looks like the pictures in the article were taken the the Ridge Motorsports Park out in Shelton, WA. Wonder if he ever took it out for some open track days there. 

Looking at the metro population would be a better judgment of a cities size in this scenario. That would include all of the suburbs that are socioeconomically tied in with the urban core. Austin is much smaller compared to Seattle with a difference of about 1.6 million people. Not saying that’s a good thing. Austin…

I eventually got around it by going to amazon on my smile.amazon link. For some reason it was just stuck in a loop on the main site. Now actually trying to buy something was a whole ‘nother battle.

I got my race day tickets and camping permit. Totally stoked to be finally getting to experience pikes peak and Colorado in general. Looking up all the cars entered is wild. Such a wide variety of machines. 

Seeing as they helped develop and test the LT5 for the C4 ZR1 maybe this was a test mule for that?

Ha! It’s funny they talk about a broken stud on the turbo. I recently had to remove the turbo on a brand new 2.0l Accord (very similar turbo) and broke the studs off the turbo where it mounts to the cat. The self lockers they use do not like the heat one bit. The torque spec is 33lbft but the breaker bar I had on…

Part of me believes that the shift of teaching in public schools to a more inclusive viewpoint is powering the conservative crusade on more private school and voucher programs. That being said I think there is plenty of teachings on the liberal side of things that coddles children too much. It’s just amazing how hard…

Oh man I did it now. So much for getting a good price on importing these beauties. However I did learn I can buy one in advance now and pay to have it stored there until she turns 25, so thats neat.

Yea I’ve done my fair share of head gaskets on the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th gen civics. I know it and accept that it’ll happen to them at some point in their life. It seemed to be an issue with a lot of imports from those eras with 4 cyls though. I blew the head gasket on my 98 civic DD on a road trip to Arizona from…

Honda Orthia. 6th Gen civic wagon with 1st Gen CR-V power-train. They would have sold buckets of them here in the PNW. Only a few more years now and I’m totally going to import one. I’ve been saving my pennies ever since I’ve stumbled upon them on the internets. I have a huge soft spot for the 6th gen civics and have…

It also doesn’t help that most of the things they mentioned are OPTIONS. They don’t come with the tent, surfboards, wind deflector, body side moldings or those hideous wheels. They’ve had that style wheel on a few model’s as an option for the last decade or so. I have seen only one person actually buy them and they…

I just learned my lesson of not having a pin on my AT&T account. The other day my phone lost service so when I got home I checked my online account. Someone had upgraded my phone to an Iphone X then added another Iphone X as well as an Iphone 8 to a new plan on my account. I got an email shortly thereafter from a Best…

Yea I think that point is lost in all this. Like the quip about the Olympia police having a history of unnecessary use of force according to “some activists”? Besides a shooting a couple years ago that was ruled justified I am curious to know what events they are referring to? Or maybe they don’t list any because…

My service department is open 6 days a week from 7am-6pm. That includes Saturdays. It was that way with the union and it is that way now without it. In fact most other Honda, Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen dealers that I have former co-workers at are even open 7 days a week. They are scattered all up the West coast. If he…

I will add that many newer cars with electronically controlled throttle bodies will throw a check engine light and possibly go into limp mode after cleaning the carbon out even with the battery disconnected. Especially if a there was quite a bit of buildup. Usually this can be remedied by removing both battery cables…
