@RenaultAlliance: Step 1: set some fucking boundaries.

You know, with the proper care and skill, this conversion could have been done well. Rather than a fragile, high-strung racer, you could have a ferrari-shaped chevy that will be cheap and reliable.

@Weakskills: I've never seen an airline that doesn't overbook.

@BrtStlnd: You might already be aware, but the ticker is due to (after the ridiculous abuse heaped on them by American Airlines and, later, the Wright Amendment) being based entirely out of Love Field in Dallas.

@All Jimal wants for Christmas is a star:

@They call me MISTER Scroggs!: There is something magical about highway driving in a car with twice as much horsepower as suspension. It's soothing knowing that, in the case of emergency, you can't do a damned thing, so you might as well relax.

@egoods: If you ever make it out to VA, make sure you take your detector down. They're illegal here.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: You're right, right up until "powerless".

Amateurs. I could climb into the engine bay of my '87 cutlass without pulling things out. I could probably have slept in there, sans engine.

If confronted with a T-Rex type of situation, the filmer would be telling the girls to shut up and stand still, and they would be jumping and screaming.

@tapz: You're comparing apples to diesel.

@Eggwich McSpencer: Unfortunately, his good taste only goes far enough to be completely ruined by fender stickers. Beautiful car otherwise.

The Element is the only one I'm really sad to see go, and even that lived a decent life for what it was. Plus, I'm hoping this opens a hole up in Honda's lineup for something new and quirky.

Get rid of my favorite money pit. It's not that it's actually killing my bank account, but I want to work on a few other of my hobbies, and replacing a miata one piece at a time takes up a lot of hobby time.

@presq777: I love the idea that the reason people couldn't get up the hill was lack of torque.

@Eggwich McSpencer: Read through enough car manuals, and you'll get used to statements like, "Step 1: remove the engine and transmission."

@anitesh.jaswal: The kind of person who does this to their car (hopefully) doesn't buy a car with thoughts of the resale value.

@xequar: The difference is what they're testing. The Element handles very well within its limits, but it has very low limits. The Odyssey might have higher handling limits, but within them, it feels like you're steering, well, a minivan.

@dal20402: On an unconventional note, what about 6-7 in a line? Seems like you'd have plenty of time to consider that shift, and there's less risk of the valet getting confused.

This was my high school whip.
