If i had a vehicle that i really valued, I’d put a couple lo-jacks on it, in different places. Thieves know to look for a lo-jack, but they wouldn’t expect a second one.  Then I'd go steal their kneecaps.

I've no idea, but i like to imagine one is a differential lock and the other activates a PTO.

Sign me up!  I cut my motorcycle teeth on a CT110!  Any mention of a Low Range (two-speed transfer case)?

I have a cheaper method. Get scale model of vehicle. Find CoG of back of vehicle and insert eye screw. Tie string to eye screw and drop vehicle down the well (or a 100x high tube of water for better precision and accuracy).   Record time for model to reach bottom.  Test different vehicles to set up baselines.

I had always thought driving gloves to be a frivolity. Now, they kinda make sense.

Except that dealers keep saleable stock on hand because they know many customers will spend thousands more if they can get them to “buy today!” and play on the customers’ emotions.

Maybe most of us complaining about the original design are a bit older and fondly remember the nice Civics of decades past?  I suspect Honda was marketing the new Civic to the younger generation who might be drawn to the transformers / droids / spaceship look.

They save the middle ground for Acura.

I can think of a helluva lot of stuff i can tow just fine with the Ridgeline. Not all of us are towing 7k campers or 12k hotshot rigs.

That was like back in the late 90s and early 2000s with the old 5AT. They fixed that a long time ago.

Agree with Ridgeline. It is the “do all” vehicle. When you compare features vs price, it is cheaper than other mid-size trucks (people are getting top model 2020 RTL-E trims for under $40k), rides better than other mid-size trucks (especially for any trips over 30 miles), safest truck, most American truck, great

The most reliable Hondas (ne, most reliable cars ever) come from the 1990s and very early 2000s, as long as you didn’t get a V6 with auto transmission. Those cars should be the bread and butter of the working class, or anyone who doesn’t want to spend money on cars. They should be banned from any C4C program, unless

I never was a fan of these cars.  A buddy of mine had a '78 T/A (sister car from Pontiac) that had the 6.6L V8.  Riding in that thing, you felt like you were in a tin can that was strapped to a skateboard with some rusty baling wire... felt like it could come apart at any time.  But yeah, it was loud and fast, which

I believe the Evinrude Etec, a two-stroke marine outboard engine, doubles up the oil usage during break-in, then drops oil usage to normal after break-in, all with no user input.

If i had more dollars than sense, i would do something silly like put a 1948 Dodge pickup body on that chassis. Or a minivan. Or a weinermobile.

Wouldn’t it be a water speed record if they were driving over ice?

The steel frame in and of itself may not be as bad as it seems. I remember reading a few years ago how touring bicyclists were going back to steel frames because they were much more comfortable. They had much more built-in flex and shock absorption than aluminum alloys or other composites.

If you could give us a review like the now-defunct MCN used to, that would be awesome. Very sad that MCN went belly-up... their publisher pulled the rug out from under them and us subscribers so fast, i didn’t even have time to get my three-year pre-paid subscription back from them. Azzhats. Last time i subscribe to

I believe in using only the light you need, and no more.

I would like a 750, exactly one-half of a Ram 1500. I’d like it to be half the size with twice the MPG.
