This might be a good replacement if the turbo hemi on your SpeedKore ‘70 Charger build blows up.

The most exciting thing i see about this concept is that it is the first time we’ve seen collaboration between Honda Powersports and Honda Automobiles. Honda Powersports is fiercely competitive. If some of that DNA bleeds into Honda Automobiles, the competition really needs to take notice. We would all have much…

What’s hilarious about this concept is that it could kick the butt of Jeep Rubicon, Taco TRD Pro, CO ZR2 and the Raptors, and those fanboys would still call this a minivan.

I disagree. Too many cases where my Accord coupe with snow tires ran circles around SUVs when roads got snowy or icy, including highway patrol Durangos. I am always waiting for the SUVs to get out of the way.

2002 Accord coupe with 157k. Some may consider it old, but it is a classic design, great looking, and cheap to own. I have the four-cylinder with 5-speed manual, so nothing is overly expensive to fix or replace. It is pre-TPMS, so i can swap out my extra set of wheels with snow tires with no hassles, and it has the…

The camera is nice, but the camera on my S7+ isn’t that bad. When i upgrade, i will probably stick with Samsung, warts and all, simply because they still offer a microSD slot.

I thought they might use square aluminum truss framing tube. Then hang slab sheets of aluminum, and then rivet or weld to the tube frame. Riveted would be totally cool, retro, and easily repaired.

The EPA ratings make sense. The main difference between an I4 and a V8, economy-wise, is friction. The V8 has twice the cylinder friction, etc., as the I4. At highway speeds, the I4 is turning higher RPMs, which negates that advantage.

Based on the B1 concept, it probably really is this boxy, and not a figment of AutoCAD software.

That effect is compounded when the mfr drops the manual altogether because the take rate is not high enough to justify contracting costs/hassles with the vendor. There are also increased complexities with things like adaptive cruise control, remote start and safety sensing packages that a mfr has to sort out, and…

I like my manual because it has greater reliability than an auto, is cheaper to repair if it ever breaks ( i tend to keep my cars a long time), and is lighter. Car handles snow great, although i do use snow tires. With six inches ground clearance, i can go through 8-9" snow, 10" gets a little iffy.

I suspect some people buy for two other reasons. 1) sitting higher up gives them a better view over traffic and makes them feel more in control, and 2) they are tired of sitting low in their cars and being blinded by all the pickup trucks out there that have little to no headlight regulation.  Any trucks with some…

That is an odd gauge. What is the fraction above (to the right of) 1/2?  The only logical fraction would be 1/1, but then why not just use a 1?  And the gauge is not symmetrical....perhaps more accurate that way, but would drive OCD folks nuts.

Yes, we need smaller trucks than the Ranger, but not smaller beds. It likely won’t happen, as CAFE favors larger vehicles, as does IIHS crash testing.

I gave it a NP, but i think my satin silver ‘02 Accord COUPE looks better, and it has 24 more HP, a five-speed stick and no rust. :) It is my daily driver, 157k miles and original brakes (did i mention it’s a manual?). Yes, original clutch and headlights, too. Original everything except routine maintenance items like…

I know nothing about this crap, but sounds like an application for a particle accelerator (e.g.- hadron collider?). spin the projectile around the circular tube until terminal velocity is reached, then open the tube/circle into the barrel...

Well, lessee, i had a sister with a bright orange ‘69 Camaro, another sister with a bright green ‘74 Duster, another with a ‘78 black Magnum, then i had a brother with a ‘73 Candy Apple red Charger, another brother with a bright yellow ‘74 Nova SS, another with a blue/silver Charger Shelby, a brother-in-law with a ‘65…

My first car was a 1976 Charger SE, bought used in 1986. It had the 400 lean-burn engine, which meant it had no catalytic converters as delivered from the factory. I swapped out the anemic 2bbl carb for a 4bbl T-quad and added true dual exhaust with a balance tube and dual turbo mufflers. I picked up 3mpg with that…

Remember that if you add any options, the payload numbers go down even more

1) do they get rid of the problematic Lucas electronics?
