Good. It’s funny. My other car is an Acura TL SH-AWD with a 6-speed manual. When you are taking off in a straight line, my Accord easily can best my TL. It is weird. That car is not fast, but it is plenty quick. She almost has too much power for the front wheels. It barely can keep the front tires from turning into

Mine.

Good. I'll gladly watch LeBlanc, Harris, and Reid. It won't be the same as Jezza, Hamster, and Captain Slow, but it will still be highly entertaining.

They just had an active shooter exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod last week. I live here on the base. My wife was taking part in the drill. She told me there was a drill and to not freak out if I saw a shooter. This knowledge was handed out en masse here. Maybe others did not get the memo?

I used to be Major Wood over that car.

That damn thing looks like it is coming out of the Avengers Tower anyways in the promo. Does it come equipped with a baritone butler’s voice with a hint of smartass British accent as the Navcon UI? Or maybe a sassy Irish female? If those were options, I’ll take 2. Please.

Check out Layer Cake. Pre-Bond Daniel Craig, Sienna Miller, Colm Meaney, Ben Whishaw, Michael Gambon, and, of course, Tom Hardy. That film made me a Matthew Vaughn fan.

Nope.

Listen to that engine hunting. Wow.

Everything about this is so much win.

I have an idea where that air filter can go.

It’s not the unreliable cars so much. It’s the difficult to work on cars. The ones that an ordinarily simple job is made 75 times more difficult by crappy engineering.

Sorry, my contempt for rebadged Isuzus was not so evenly matched with my sarcasm.

Oh gods. When I was a tech for Acura, we would draw straws for who would wrench on these piles of junk. Nothing was good working on these. Dealers had a separate computer diagnostic system for these as the PGM-FI scanner was mostly incompatible with the Isuzu/GM computers in these.

All the nope on the Internet today. More nope than a Hispanic female judge that practices Islam voting for Trump.

Why am I SO NOT SURPRISED by this development happening out of Tampa Bay? Because the same goddamned thing happened to me in Clearwater. Still have the pic of my damn feet hanging out from where they pulled me out.

I wanted to be shocked by reading this. Really did. But, after being in the car business for nearly 20 years now, I am not surprised. Not even in the slightest.

How is this different than the torque vectoring with an overdrive clutch SH-AWD system Acura (parent company Honda’s other outfit) has been using for 11 years?

I have lived in Mobile, Alabama for the last 4 years. This raging douche has graced all the local adverts for so long I have tuned him out. He also owns (owned?) a Range Rover. When I worked at the local Rover dealership, I had the privilege (sarcasm alert!) of dealing with this asshat. The hypocrisy was strong with
