Paid $5k for a fit with a ton of miles, sport package and a stick about 6 years ago.  They are perfectly capable and (you can check my profile photo) reasonably safe as many Honda’s are.  Definitely more akin to the older civics than current civics are.

I guess we will see what happens.  Based on the info we know, I’d have to side with GM that clearly something dirty was happening so it seems the judge threw out the case to spite them rather than for actual lack of evidence.  Assuming that’s the case (and not surprising considering his actions thus far) I’m surprised

As someone who has owned 10+ Hondas I can confidently say you are wrong.  They may have low maintenance still, but the problems they do have are big.  Trans failure, major paint defects, the list goes on.  They also have a terrible warranty (spurring dealerships to offer their own these days) and good luck getting

1st gear: I mean, a small business can have 250+ employees and average $100M in sales over 3 years.  I imagine many dealerships fall in that category.

Let regular blue dawn sit in it (with hot water) for a bit and hit it with steel wool and elbow grease.

Steel wool people.  Works without the need for a scrubbing agent and takes care of glass as well.  Obviously don't use on non-stick...

It had started booming before (mostly it seems from IG hunters) but keeping people indoors has definitely made people want to be outdoors more.

The sub brand thing could be interesting going forward. Mustangs are all performance, Broncos all off road. Whats next? Expeditions all people haulers.

Yuk. Even picking and choosing the best comments about this vehicle (when it landed 12 years ago) its not very reassuring.

I like this direction and is something more manufacturers should do, assuming they can keep it tasteful. I can’t think of many sports cars that have performance packages that don’t add a bunch of tacky stick ons.

I did this once after I received a car from my Grandma. Parked it, oops wrong side. Turned it around, hmmm, not here either. Checked the other side.

They didn’t say they were good colors...

The lead image had me wondering how I missed Zork running on an Astrocade.  

That’s just sad. I do recall ordering a Kobe burger from some place just because it was the cheapest thing on the menu. It shows up with no burger patty. Couldn’t find the waiter to flag down so I settled for a bus boy. He ended up grabbing the manager who was appalled.

While the costs work out to $330k apiece, don’t forget that that includes a long term maintenance contract as well as the ability to provide spares and other services. The vehicle itself is likely less than 1/4 of that cost.

I really like the way these look as they nailed the 89-91 transition style that isn’t full box but also not fully 90s.

I can tell you that surgeon/bimini are both very common for fishing (or bad variants thereof) and how I was taught to attach a hook to a line.  I’m not sure I know any other real knots.

A noose is any loop with a slip knot.  Its a definition, not an admission.

I can’t trust the results of any survey putting Dodge and Nissan in a top spot for reliability...

There are several photos that surfaced before the FBI investigation where the ropes are tied into a loop to grab. The photo from this one looks more noose like than others I’ve seen, but its not the only place with the loop tied.
