Much better.

I didn’t like the Testarossa very much until it started growing on me 15 years ago. Now, that rear doesn’t look very big compared to modern American vehicles, and the lines flow so much more simply and elegantly than modern supercars. I really like the look of it now. Go figure. 

Yes!!

Now playing

Could they not come up with something simpler like a system that automatically rings one of those polite “Tring Tring” bicycle bells?

Not a drag car by any stretch, just for more power out of a turn. 

With people that tracked their cars a lot and had oil analysis done, the oil is breaking down because it’s too hot. Many of them run much heavier oil to try to buffer that, but you only have a finite time to run until you’re back to the consistency of water and low oil pressure because of it.

A good Holley carburetor is still half as costly as any of the Holley Sniper EFIs. I think all of their EFI systems are over $1k. There are still a buttload of old pushrod V8 engines on the road, and new crate engines based on improved castings from the 60's and 70's. 

Should I buy the Civic Si or wait until Spring and pay more for the Civic Si?

Twitter could be worse.

Carmaker: tries to sell car based on rose-tinted memories, hoping legacy of name will make people want car

Blogger: STOP COMPARING CAR TO PAST CAR

Counterpoint - Manufactures are reviving nameplates expressly to profit off of your rose colored memories of that plate.  

exactly!! don't cash in your legacy ffs

They didn’t bring back an old concept, though, just an old nameplate. Like it not, the dominating memory of the Integra is of the Type R coupe; rebadging what is visually an ILX with the “Integra” nameplate is not how you successfully tap the nostalgia.

This. The Integra should be 2-door.

The issue isn’t that it’s based on the Civic. The issue is that it is literally just the Civic.

So Acura is suggesting that their entry level 200 hp dressed up Civic is going to draw in the performance crowd? Ehm… wasn’t that the job of the NSX? No, wait, the TLX Type-S… or no, I think it was the MDX Type-S…

Yup, me too.

How fast was he going that he managed to hit three cyclists who were riding single file before he managed to stop?

Negligent homicide is, in fact, a crime.

From searches online, it is scary how many RFs are missing the 3rd pedal.
