Very much this. Also, strobe makes it very hard to gauge speed and steering direction of oncoming bikers. I have this problem while sharing the path as both a runner and fellow cyclist. Let’s agree on strobe with cars, while solid on the path?

Wait Wait Wait. THAT’S why Miata is always the answer?!? I’ve been reading this site religiously for 6 years, and never got that acronym! Mind. Blown.

I was taught to never downshift from 2-1. 1st gear is only for standing starts. Even small Honda 4cyl engines have enough torque in 2nd gear at 5mph to accelerate out of the way. I’ll come to a full stop in my TSX and go into 1st vs trying to carefully slip into it while moving. Was any one else taught this?

Must be a Raiders fan. The appropriate way to protest a team leaving Oakland:

You forgot to capitalize Booth.

I also miss the 95 VTEC we had. The DOHC VTEC on the B16A really did outshine my ex-gf’s Si model above 5k RPM. Which is right where that engine was designed to live.

I have about $15K in 6.5% interest student loans and about $15K in the stock market as “play money.” I don’t own a home, but anticipate buying one in the next 3-5 years. Should I use the $15K right now to pay off loans (esp while the market is strong) or keep it as part of a downpayment in the future?

Actually, different knobs.

Honda’s been doing that on the Odyssey for about a decade now, and only took me about 7 years to recognize it.

1989 World Series Game 3. The Loma Pieta earthquake. Born in 1982, realized the world wasn’t all sunshine, candy, and sports that day.

There needs to be a poll of who downshifts into first gear while moving. I never do, and was taught not to. But I have friends who do it. It seems unnatural.

If I could reach my rotor set screws every day, I’d start weeks in advance. Want to help, Mr. Mederski?

If you’re single, taking a date to a wedding is like taking a deer carcass hunting.

The old GS-T. First gear from stop: LaDeDa, nothing to 3,000 RPM, then violent noises and torque steer!

Nine years ago, my buddy and I both bought cars, I got a barely used ‘04 TSX MT+Navi. He got an ‘06 Si. A year later, we finally got together and swapped rides. He sold his Si a month after and got an ‘07 TSX MT. Driving each back to back, the K24 feels like it has piles of more low-end torque over the K20. It makes…

The draw? Group plans on Sprint providing unlimited LTE and talk for $45/month per device.

+1 Hands down best game over. I'll only buy them at gas stations.

The protocols aren't propitiatory, yet I do expect it will take a few months of work to create alternatives. I do know that apple wanted sub-$1 pricing for each microcontroller inside.
