Protip: don’t buy any used Honda that isn’t fuel injected. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories of people with carbureted cars waiting weeks, months for parts (that Honda no longer supports) and qualified technicians (that Honda no longer trains) to rebuild their carburetors. Especially bad were the early Preludes that…

There are better uses for AI...

Getting Honda R&D to put an actual hatchback in the Integra must have been like pulling teeth, not to mention the actual manual shift. I’ve changed my mind on this Integra refresh; it’s a sporty wolf in tepid sheep’s clothing, almost invisible to the unknowing. Whatever team was assembled to come up with this Integra c…

Honorable mention goes to the Acura Integra Type-R (3rd gen). Everyone I know who owned one had it stolen at some point and the engine ripped out. It’s considered a total loss to insurance companies so you’re going to have to pony up some cash to replace the B18C5, if you can find one.

Those Accord 5-speeds were secret weapons, as far as gas mileage was concerned. The 5th gear was so low, you could cruise at 70mph and the RPMs would be nearing 2k. I drove the 350+ miles from LA to San Jose with my ‘86 Accord and arrived with 2/3 of a 12-gallon tank left.

I would buy that Ducati just to look at it.

People in the late 70s got excited about these sleds because of their appearance in “Smokey & The Bandit,” but the car used in the movie had it’s boat anchor W72 Pontiac 400 replaced with a crate stock car engine; thus the great speed and sound.

Get ready, car flippers.

If I can’t see you, you can’t see me.

Stick an S2000 motor and axle in there, then you got something!

Auctioning cars is a bit like gambling, but you’re betting against trends so maybe more like the stock market, but your chances of winning are determined by market availability divided by general scarcity and condition so maybe more like eggs at the grocery store? I dunno, I hate thinking...

Fun things to do in Wyoming:

Hard to believe that, 15 years ago, there was no YouTube economy, no influencers, no Instagram or Tik Tok, Twitter and Facebook had just started out, and people still got their Netflix movies as DVDs in the mail.

Weird that the Tesla just kept going after the crash until it hit something else. That seems dangerous.

Once, in the distance, I saw a Nissan 240sx that was completely unmodified. It was in the same condition as the day it left the showroom. I approached it, cautiously, as one would a resting unicorn or dodo bird. I came within 20 feet of it and slowly it vanished...

Aren’t these the drives that proved to be fake? They were just 256gb mini-SD cards inside that had some kind of hacked bios that made it look like it had 2TB storage size?

Better to name yourself after something solid and eternal like “The Rock,” and not something that’s temporary or needs to be solved like “The Situation.”

Red Snow Cats always foretell danger...

Absolutely.
