Most American drivers lack the skill to drive the speed limit. 

Three main factors to consider. The NA is underpowered as compared to the ND. The ND has blind spot warning technology, a very important safety feature. However, the ND also has a touch screen that is intrusive, ugly, and unnecessary. Yes, I know about the backup camera law. But that could have been integrated…

Wait a minute everyone. The LT5 has both a Super Charger AND a turbo. <.<

It depends. On cars like this you ignore most idiosyncrasies that don’t directly affect the functionality of the car. Some of them even help. I had a Beretta where the sun visor wouldn’t stay in place. It would swing around from windshield to side window like a boom coming about on a sailboat. The thing is, it worked…

A person who isn’t handy around the garage shouldn’t even think about this car. Or most of what we’ve seen this week. 

Everybody, Ecky is an Ecomodder resident and his word is GOOD.  His K-swapped Insight averages right at 40mpg at the moment.  He’s still getting it dialed in.  The car is WAY faster than you would ever expect an Insight to be.

I always maintained that that engine should have been put into the 2010 Honda CRZ. The CRZ was too slow to be a truly sporty car. And it did not get good enough mileage to be a true successor to the insight. If it had been offered in two trims, one with the K20A3 (non-hybrid) and the other with a more comprehensive…

My K20 Insight was mercilessly grilled here as a NPOCP car a couple years ago. The trolls came out in droves to write astonishing observations like “duhh for that kind of money I can buy a (xxxxx)“ which while true, is not the point.

They don’t have the LS weight right. A fully dressed LS weighs in the neighborhood of 500 lbs. (497 lbs., actually). With a beefier diff and trans, you’re looking at adding around 200 lbs. to a 2,850-lb, car, minimal. So now you have an LS-powered car that weighs right around 3,050-3,100 lbs. when you can get an…

God I hate carbs. I’ll never own a car with one. Sorry purists, but that shit is miserable and complete sorcery. I have a boat with one, which I rebuilt last summer, which might have made it worse. I hate it with the force of 1,000 butterfly valves and mini-venturies.  

THIS JUST IN.

Nah, the driver was sitting still when the brushes stopped moving...it looked like they thought they needed to pull forward to get the brushes going, tried to back out and pulled the machine with them.

Remember also that in LA people judge you by the car you drive. This is probably the reason he is getting rid of this Camry - he has realized he will never, ever get laid by an Angeleno if he drives a Camry.

Simple, keep the Camry for the DD and get a NA Miata for the weekends, along with a basic hand tool set.
