There is a very specific line between the Si and Type R, no matter the vehicle you're talking about. Long story short (and others I'm sure can find the references) but Si's are about performance without compromising comfort. Type R's are about performance without compromise.

I'm no longer with Honda, so my information is dated, but a NA (North America) Spec Type R was originally going to be built in Indiana alongside a 5 door variant of the Civic. Then the 5 door got moved to Canada, and along with it, the Type R.

What would really make these the business is if they were drive on. You'd have to have a special jack that could lift from 2-3 inches from the ground, but if these were drive on for lowered cars, it would be brilliant. Granted the price would have to go up another $300ish for the custom jack...

I completely agree. You have a car that is considered 'too fast' by all racing communities. So you just get to drive it around, by yourself, on an empty track. What bar or standard do you measure yourself against? If you compare yourself to the lap records at the tracks, aren't they pretty much set by inferior…

What I'd really like to know is if I can buy this car for about $20k in 10 years? That would be super!

I believe there was an article on Jalop a while back about these... They're PAX tires (also used on the Honda Odyssey for a couple of years) PAX tires require special equipment to mount and dismount the tires, and for the Veyron tires, it was even more specialized equipment. I remember reading once that there were…

So this post is all well and good, but what are the chances of a follow-up post on how ridiculously difficult / expensive it would be to actually buy something at this auction and have it shipped to the states?

Wasn't there usually a website that would always cover the booth babes... err booth professionals from each event like this? I'm picturing her looking like Sara Walsh on ESPN

Since ILX production has shifted to Marysville, expect the ILX to inherit / borrow a lot more tech from the Accord / TLX. All of these changes were planned well before I ever caught wind of the production shift, but it's funny we never really saw the writing on the wall.

I've slept in a S2000 on two different occasions, and I echo your sentiment, do not recommend. I certainly can't imagine doing it for 14 nights straight. The one time I slept in a neighborhood, and I was awakened by two kids being startled to find a dude in the car (my window was cracked open). The one kid was a…

Honda S2000 riding on Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3's. Worked like a charm. Having a manual transmission definitely makes driving in snow and on ice easier as well, IMHO

I also ate horse in Japan, raw, and it was quite good. I think a lot of these animals have a stigma in America because we don't have to eat them, because we have so much land to raise beef, pork, and poultry. In smaller countries, they don't have the room to do that, so they pretty much eat anything. It's a luxury…

I was at a Colts v. Eagles game in Philly a few years back, when Austin Collie took one of his many shots to his head. He postured immediately, and laid there motionless for what seemed like 10 minutes. There was a guy two seats down from me that started going on and on, yelling, about Collie being a pussy, that he…

So where's the actual stealing part? I just see a really indecisive shopper carrying a bunch of different headphones off to the sales counter?

Not 50 feet, but a much bigger truck

I believe the rule that makes Manziel's play illegal is called "hiding out". I just saw it yesterday when I was reading Rule 12 section 2 after the hit on Foles. Hiding out is found in Rule 12 section 3.

Maybe Mercedes' next big reveal should be on Feb. 1, maybe 9pm EST. Surely their target audience would much rather watch the reveal than whatever else could possibly be on at that time... I mean, people with that sort of disposable income don't watch TV right?

When BMW hosted the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick in Indianapolis in 2012, I got 2 free tickets (for Thursday) in the mail, because I bought a BMW in 2008! They even had a concierge tent where you could just walk in when you get there and skip the very long line for everyone else, whether they had bought advance…

Imagine that, a Tesla in a crash at normal speeds doesn't explode into a fiery death trap. But heaven forbid they catch on fire pushing 100mph and being ripped in two.

Funny picture, yes, but to echo everyone else, this is not a selfie. A selfie is when you take a picture, of yourself. "Am I the only one that gives a shit about the rules!?!?"
