Not a coupe but I present to you my 1990 EX. She is a manual, though.

CBX1000?

Glad I’m not the only one that caught that.  They don’t really connect the dot between pay and the worker/company relationship.  I’ve working at a Japanese non-union plant and most of the workers on the floor feel more like a team.  They are empowered to be problem solvers and find issues, rather than simply show up…

That would be the awesome Honda CBX:

Laughed at this too. Almost as if being more agile is better for businesses AND employees in the long run.

“The jobs were less secure” and yet... the factory is still open and humming unlike the many “unallocated” and shuttered plants that were union in the past.

Great article. The Honda Marysville plant signaled the decline of the UAW. Honda opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and instead of fighting with the UAW decided to include the hourly workers in the management process. The company showed it’s workers that they were valuable and paid them accordingly. It…

I have to travel through the Moraine plant frequently; it was so large they literally built it over a major road. The closure of that plant was devastating to the surrounding community.

An Accord wagon built in Marysville in 1980.

Depends on the exhaust routing. It did make Subarus have a unique sound, as do Mustangs, various GM products and Honda starter motors.

You guys, the MUSIC. It’s making me cry! And Leia, always Leia.

“There are lots of things we need to do to really stop emissions,” Scherer told the Gazette, such as “no more coal. It’s not a big lift.”

Isle of Man racers are to motorcycle racers what motorcycle racers are to all other racers.

Is it a surprise to anyone that the guy works at Wells Fargo? I mean, they already proved they hate their customers, and proved they hate their employees (by making them do things that make their customers hate Wells too), so why should they care anything about the people who actually help those executives make all…

“So, when you automate everyone out of a job, who’s going to be able to afford your widgets and/or services?”

This isn’t Windows RT, it’s regular Windows running on ARM and I’m pretty sure it supports (through emulation) all Windows apps. If you’re daily tasks include AAA games and Adobe Premier, no this won’t be great, but it’s going to be perfect for a lot of people.

Oh, it’s up to the user you say? Then why does my Macbook work right out of the box every single time with no issue? I have to tweak a laptop’s settings for it to do a basic task now?

I got a top of the line Dell last week and Microsoft can’t even get Windows to close the fucking lid of your laptop without draining the battery entirely.
