2010 Acura Bird Beak... Blehhh

When I had my Genesis Coupe (rwd) I did in NJ. In recent years, the snow has either been a dusting, or full state of emergency, so I never got Snows for my Civic Si (fwd). Now I have a Jeep GC, but also don’t plan on driving in the heavy snow. I can work from home.

Nope. Not for any longer than “Oh cool!”. I also hate marketing which emphasizes “This is the fastest, most horsepower XYZ car EVER with 2 more hp.” No kidding...

I was supposed to complete my certification to become an Official Porsche Club Instructor. I’m already a Driving Coach with SCCA and NASA, but PCA does not accept anyone else’s program... Next year I guess

This information would be really helpful in a table... Brand on one axis, toxic chemical on the other... etc

I had to google that color, HOT DAMN that’s good looking

I have 7 sets of tires on rims in my garage not including the tires on my 2 cars. I think that might be a red flag for any female... Most of them are slicks too...

C8 “Base” vs C7 Grand Sport...

You misspelled “Cayman”

See this is exactly what I was expecting.. I drive a cayman on racetracks a LOT (30 days a year). Top speed is like 175, but i’ve only gotten to about 146 at Pocono Raceway. I don’t think there are any racetracks where you can hit vmax. Even standing mile is not going to happen.

I use my toe and heel, but the reverse of that video. Toes on the brake and heel to blip the throttle.

Texting and driving? Or just old

Do people still care about “Claimed top speed”? At least I can try to drive 0-60 in x.xx seconds. When was the last time a person tried to test the top speed of their car? Or even was in the conditions ABLE to?

Is there crappy rev hang on shifting? It was crazy on my Genesis 2.0T and is really bad on my new Civic Si.
Also do you think dealers will charge 5-10k over for these?

I’m on my second leased car (manual), and once I have about 3 months left, I whore out the car to anyone who wants to learn. Read more
