The house across the street where I grew up was a family that only purchased Honda.

A late and rather surprised arigato Andrew!

In a way I feel it’s just a PR Kobayashi Maru. As soon as this sort of question or inquiry is posed, either response is wrong and so is no response. The hell that is modern day is that someone will find something to get offended about; Said or not said.

Transport and Rapid Coastal Defense seemed to be the logic.

I remember a time not to long ago where Ferrari was NEVER going to turbocharge any of there future planned cars. And yet here we are.

I think you’re correct with the Accord Sport. If he wasn’t as tall and had ergo problems the Civic Si would have been better.

These were lake skimmers and wouldn’t work with typical ocean swells. Same issue as a hydrofoil. It would work for inlet and near coastal. Deep sea? Most of the trip would be on the hull, pitching.

And yet, year after year, what are the top 3 sold vehicles in the US? : Ford pick-up, Ram pick-up, GM pick-up.

Jalopnik is a strange place my friend. I’ve seen good cars roasted and junk praised.

Looks like a solid car for a little restore project, even more so at that price.

It was a piece of junk designed to last 150,000mi when the repair costs reached the break over point.

Nice to see a progress piece on your recovery Andrew! Happy Holidays.

It drives me nuts there’s still this stigma that track days are some race or time trial affair. No, it’s a place to learn vehicle control safely.

He really does.

Admittedly I never put the 2 together until he mentioned it in this video. I think if the graphics hadn’t been applied and or if it had been black sponsor bombed and the the wing changed for that whale tail it would have been more recognizable.

My mind went to Deboss Garage.

It’s strange but seldom discussed exactly what pickups have evolved into. They are essentially luxury vehicles especially when mid to top tier spec-ed. They are priced like it and they feel like it even if it’s not premium manufacture.

With regards to mileage, it’s difficult to base on that in its solidarity. Age is also a factor in certain component degradation and parts availability. Then we get into vehicle reliability and such.

I was unaware a new Need for Speed movie was in the works!
