I personally am beyond pissed that Honda wimped out on dropping the i-CTDI diesel into the current generation TSX. If they would have offered the TSX Wagon with the i-CTDI diesel and a 6-speed manual in the States, I would have bought 2. But alas, no. If I want one of those, I have to jump to Europe for a Euro…

I had high hopes at first, but it seems they are fading more and more as time draws closer.

I'm sorry, but I have to say Green Lantern is starting to look more and more DOA with each new piece of footage I see. Ryan Reynolds is great as an actor, but I fear the mist around this work may be the stench of poo. I will be the first to be happily proven wrong, so we will see.

I know about that one. I was a Master Tech with Honda/Acura. As someone who did the bulletin on TL 6-speed trannies, it does not work. I thought I just botched the job until 2 other guys in the shop rebuilt other trannies with no success. We even went so far as order whole new units with the new gear sets…

I have a bad back and a bum left leg. But my daily driver is a three-pedal Accord.

'05 Accord V6 6-Speed: The fact that no matter what is done as far as different transmission fluid, mounts, or even tearing the tranny down to put in new synchros, it will ALWAYS resist going into 3rd gear. It works 60% of the time, every time.

Great. When the molten core of our planet stops moving from a government experiment, we have the technology to go down there and restart it.

"Your jacket is now dry."

My bad.

I first saw it years ago and noticed something funny out of the gate. The feral cats they highlighted caught the attention of my 2 Schnauzers, especially the new puppy of the mix. So I kept it on my DVR and would use it to keep the attention of our dogs while my wife and I would work on our house. We remodeled our…

I really believe that the disasters, while horrifying, are vastly different in how they transpired. Chernobyl was the result of faulty design mixed with a dangerous experiment. Fukushima was the result of a horrible geological disaster mixed with insufficient protection. Human error played a significant part of…

There is a fascinating documentary on the surprising amount of flourishing flora and fauna in the exclusion zone. It can be seen on Discovery's HD Theatre and is called: "Chernobyl: Life in the Dead Zone". I imagine it will be shown at some point in the coming days in lieu of the anniversary.

I have taken a fascination in the Chernobyl disaster for a long time. It is painfully obvious that unless we learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it. I wish the 25th anniversary of the largest nuclear disaster in history was not marred by the news of the second largest nuclear disaster in history.

I see a ton of "why I don't ride" comments and the backlash on both sides. I made a post about how I brushed death twice on a bike due to the negligence of other drivers.

My first brush with death occurred the day after I drove over 15 hours on my Interceptor from Tampa to DC in 1 day. I endure all that only to be rear-ended by a drunk driver a couple of miles from my sister's house.

Yes, the whole usage of Mark Sheppard's real father to portray an older version of himself does work well. Even if it has already been done before.

Come on, no love for the Weeping Angels cliffhanger this series? The last line alone is one of the best endings I have ever seen in Who.

@bitgod: I am SO with you on that one. The recent episodes have been absolutely fantastic. SGU was hitting the mark for epic storytelling, and then, Boom doesn't go the dynamite.

I was gonna throw in a lame joke, but the field is full.

@madtube: Even the ones in my head. :-)
