I’m pretty sure Honda offers a “Lowered” seat that drops it another inch if I’m not mistaken. I saw a discussion on one of the Honda forums when I was researching the bike.

We have tons of problems with dirt bikes and atvs on the streets in my area. Riding on an empty country road is one thing, but large groups riding through a city is dangerous for all involved. The cops made a few mistakes here, mainly over revving a 250cc 2-stroke, but the dirt bike doesn’t belong on the street…

If this shares the Lincoln ls engine, they had a TON of issues, even when new, mostly cooling from what I remember. A coworker had the Lincoln ls v8, and loved it. It spent more time at the dealer under warranty repair though, and was finally traded while waiting for a rebuilt engine. 

I get that we need to prevent accidents, especially with pedestrians, but I’ve been in several vehicles that incorrectly sensed something and either started trying to steer outside of the lane, or aggressively applying the brake. It was scary and even dangerous in a few situations (construction zone, etc), but the…

Wow.. tons of trolls on here, with wild comparisons to luxury imports, and cheap domestics. The WRX line has always been in between, offering a killer, nearly unmatched, even to this day, Awd/Turbo drive train, for a reasonable segment price, at the expense of the interior/options. Sure, you can get more power from…

I was able to complete a transaction by using my local bank’s power of attorney form (POA), granting the buyer POA for the vehicle’s vin, after the loan was paid off by the buyer (at the bank). The buyer took the car, and the bank mailed the title to the buyer a few days later. The buyer was able to register/title the…

I’ve owned the Tacoma, Tundra (Trd Pro), and 4runner (Trd Pro), and appreciated each of them for different reasons. I currently own a Ridgeline Black Edition, and it’s easily the best all around vehicle I’ve owned. I miss the Tundra for the longer bed/towing, and the 4runner for the offroad capabilities, but in the…

Other than the looks, it’s just another entry in the mid size truck market, with a crew cab/short bed. The upper trims can tow 5000 lbs, carry 1500 lbs, and drive like a nice car. All trucks are a compromise in some form, in this case it’s going the other way to appeal to families, and the ton of midsize truck buyers…

Dang man, you could have bought a nicer beetle to begin with for the amount of time and money you sank in this one. I had a similar experience in high school. Drove a 71 Superbeetle about 600 miles, and it overheated, but it was a $700 car, and it made it without blowing up. After that, I’ve only driven much…

Awesome car. My family had a new Acura Legend sedan growing up. It was very quick for the time, and had great handling. Everyone loved that car.

I had a yellow one in 2000. They were solid trucks w/ AWD and a V6. People would just about run me off the road to ask about it. Couldn’t see anything out of the rear window due to the integrated spare tire in the door, and being a two door made carrying passengers challenging. We called it “The boot” or “The…

I’m all for turbo engines, and have driven the F-150 ecoboost, but it does add cost and complexity over the V-8, especially with age/miles. IMO the jury is still out on longevity of high mileage ecoboost engines.

I’ve owned a ton of cars, but my 87' Mazda RX-7 Turbo-II was my favorite. It had great weight distribution, handling, and was super fast. Eventually, it needed rear apex seals, but that was at 180k miles! The later twin turbo engines, had issues, but were a blast to drive. The RX-8 was lame by comparison, and was a…
