I think like most things it’s a matter of taste, how well the job is done, and what it says about you given the rest of your car. A bad flat job on a riced-out honda with a wing and fartcan exhaust is going to get sneered at, but a nice application on an otherwise subtle car usually gets props. For my girlfriend’s…

And also, if Takata execs have any semblance of a soul, the weight of the seven lives and nearly 100 injuries that their products caused.

The chassis is the same. The suspension is the same. The bits that actually matter are identical to their economy car cousins. That’s where they have yet to catch up to BMW and Mercedes and Audi. The Germans build refinement from the ground up. Acura takes a civic and refines it.

Nonsense! Oilpan delete would mean less oil at every oil change. That would make it cheaper. I didn’t buy a car with the roundel on the front to go around spending less money like some kind of dirty peasant! If anything I’ll add an extra oilpan, so that I can be especially opulent.

Ha! Well one of them is a track car, so no window regulators! It does need the CCV refresh and oil pan gasket though :-(

I’ll have you know, nothing can stave off my existential dread for another day...

Before we ever get to the point of needing to worry about maintenance, I will have raided every tobacco and liquor store within a 20 mile radius. During the inevitable rush to stockpile food and water, I’ll be stockpiling luxury items like high-end scotch and cigarettes, because an abundance of those things will make…

Its way more likely that was a ghost than you just forgot to turn off your lights before getting in bed.

Maybe you should look into some good winter tires? I have no problems in snowy conditions with my E46 323CI, because I use the proper tire for the conditions.

The symbol next to the “Welcome” link on the front page is a pineapple. I am guessing they finally got tired of explaining why they picked that as the icon for that particular section.

Uhm... yeah that’s not true at all. Your side mirrors are meant to show beside your car. There shouldn’t be more than an inch or so of overlapped field-of-view between either side mirror and your rearview. If you set your mirrors that way, there is no blindspot, and you can see everything beside, behind, and around…

It is not just you. I see sub-100K examples regularly for anywhere between $6K and $13K depending on condition. This guy clearly found some 90’s era coke in the seats, cooked it into crack, then smoked it.

Ridley Creek is Delco Doug (I work about 5 minutes down the road in Media). Good roads there. Anytime I am heading North after work, I make sure to go the scenic route and hit the twisties.
