Ok, now teach me how to attach these lasers to sharks. Can we just get some freakin sharks with laser beams attached to their heads?!

Honda Prelude. Five generations of fun reliable cars. #qotd

I'd really love to be patriotic and buy domestic again, but like many, I've been burned financially by the supposedly new and improved American car. By contrast, my mid 90's Honda Prelude is still alive and kicking with better performance, reliability, driving satisfaction, than the similar year/mileage Probe n…

@Vroomtrap: Well the idea is that you'd be well protected by the stronger tubular aircraft frame shape with no side doors holes and outriggers full of batteries. Also I think people only think of passive safety and forget the "active" part. A small nimble car can stop faster or outmaneuver an impending accident…

Dammit, I came up with that same narrow tandem hybrid-electric concept back in 2002, but mine would carve up the corners and you could go topless:

Since I'm still rockin XP Media Center and need to do a clean install, would it be advisable to intall Win7 as a separate OS and dual boot for awhile? Then if everything is spiffy, I can delete XP later.

I got stuck with a rental Sebring for 2 weeks. It really was horrible. Not only was it ugly, it had bad acceleration, braking, and the handling felt like driving a tall floaty mini-van. Ok, so it was much more smooth and quite compared to my 13 year old Honda Prelude in the shop, but it just had no soul. I was so…

I dunno, like most ppl here I "grew up" on anything Google related and it has become the default, but Bing is actually pretty nice. The results are just as relevant, the video and image search with previews are pretty cool, and while Google maps "street view" is awesome around town, the Bing map's "Birds eye" (or Sim…

Ironically, I'm actually the e-learning multimedia designer who built a series of online courses for Hadco outdoor lighting with audio instructions and video. Although it's aimed for at the lighting pros, it's not that complicated to follow and it dives way deeper than this short Reader's Digest article. You do have…

just google "jeepney philippines" and you'll see a that vehicle fit right in...

Why yes, people do keep setting my car on fire. Tell me more!

It has anti-rear-ending technology. Any wheeled vehicle hitting it from behind at speed would just be launched right over it. Heck, you could just wedge your way into a parking spot if you back up...

97 Honda Prelude Type SH - 34 pts with Airbags, ABS, and a smart differential... Modern and smart enough to enhance / react to my fun driving, but not too smart to nanny me or make me a complacent driver.

I'm all for genuine technology that improves safety, but some of this new nanny tech is just encouraging bad driving habits and lack of personal responsibility. Just pay attention to driving! Get off the phone and put down that latte.

@Greg Thibeaux: Except when everyone else's selfish purchase of a huge suv causes you and your kids to breath more smog, raises the overall demand and price of gas, sends your brother to die in the middle east so we can keep said gas cheap, and come close to killing you and your family in your "normal" sized car,…

Huh, I was just rear-ended the other friday and luckily I remembered to take down pretty much all the info on this list, as well as taking some crappy cell phone pics. The frustrating thing is that I called the police (portland or) and they wouldn't come out to make a report. They told me to just exchange info since…

Will the 007 submarine edition be powered by a Honda outboard?

I see a whole lotta IKEA in there, but where are the meatballs?

Perhaps he wanted it vandalized (for insurance purposes) or maybe his wife parked his car there (cause he got caught sleeping with his secretary)

@jackburnt: That's what I thought too. I've known about and shopped by these rules forever, but I guess I was a poor grad student for quite awhile too...
