You get all the stars for that handle, as my daily driver IS your handle.

Give.

Agreed. I worked for Acura over the course of 15 years. A couple years ago I started working for Hyundai. It was not by choice but of convenience. The Hyundai dealer was 5 minutes from my house. The level of dealer accoutrements was different on whole orders of magnitude. If I was a customer of their newly spun branch…

Apparently, my image did not load. And I cannot edit my post. WTF, Kinja?

As some of the Jalopnik staff may know, I have an almost unhealthy liking to Honda products. Picked up a first-gen CRX Si in high school, fell in love with them, and had my heart flutter over them ever since. However, I am not completely boneheaded. They are front wheel drive beasts. That comes with understeer, weight…

Many many moons ago I got asked by one of the bigwig programmers for American Honda if I wanted to come down to the regional training center for a very in-depth training module of the F-CAN and B-CAN systems being implemented on their cars. It was only one night and happened to fall on the night of one of the World…

Nah, they suffered from faulty radiator caps. Fortunately the repair is very simple.

I have been out of dealer fixed operations for over a year now. Before that, I spent 15 years working in parts and service for Honda/Acura and Hyundai/Kia. When my Acura needed the inflator replaced recently, the backlog was so extensive. But my car got prioritized to the top of the list. And even then it was still 4…

What more did you want from me? I Googled how to do spine surgery and did exactly what I saw on YouTube. How is it my fault that your left arm sticks straight out when your hot wife bends over? And that you seem to pee only blood? I’m not a miracle worker!

I’ve said it before here, but fuck valets.

Have a star!

To each their own. For our area and climate (northern panhandle West Virginia), they worked surprisingly well. As far as reliability, we had very few issues.

Oh yes, they are wholly impractical for cars. It’s just an interesting thing that was ingrained into all of us kids growing up. And when we all left our bubble of northern West Virginia, many of us were surprised that wasn’t a bigger thing.

Every schoolbus in my county were required to have automatic tire chains. I graduated high school in 1999. Even now, almost 20 years later, I am flabbergasted at how few people have heard of these.

As a master technician with decades of experience with a certain Asian manufacturer whose names rhymes with “Fonda”, this was a well thought article with gobs of useful information. And your MacGyver skills are top notch. I hate replacing whole devices when it can be fixed easily. Hate like the white hot intensity of…

I guess getting into the fetal position shows the world the baby he is.

Vigor, please.

Yes. Let’s.

Yeah, you got some interference issues for the speedo. The driver is maybe getting EMI from the tach signal maybe? Grounds, loose connections, PCB solder issues, and the likes.

Enter an abridged conversation with a friend’s daughter as I had to take her back home after she babysat my girls.
