On the N62, I didnt think rod bearings were an issue. Leaking Valve Seals were the main issue, along with the Air Pump, Vanos, and valve cover issues

The bottom end on N62s I thought were the strong points

And as usual Honda doesnt know what it wants to do and plays it conservative.

Side note why isn’t auto headlights just an industry standard thing? My v6 Camaro from 1998 has them and still work fine. There is no way its gotten more expensive to do this 24 years later?

V6 Ecoboosts, havent heard one I like yet

A face only a mother could love, man that could be worse than the current Silverado facia.... Took a Blazer nose and made it taller and EV like

Back half 100% Avalanche vibes and love it.

GXs though are pigs though on gas. Great vehicles and reliable as hell but man expect mid teens if you do upgrades aimed for offroading.

To me the nose has the looks of the previous gen Mitsubishi Outlander. Just with Mercedes take. The Headlights other than the little extra near the center look very similar. I know its electric and they are looking for the lowest drag possible but for $100k the outside does not look very Mercedes

Rolling up or down windows. Need to go through a drive through, no you dont, go inside

1st

If Alonso was ok with it, I’m ok with it

What no, up until 2009 they would line up Lead lap cars on the outside and lapped cars on the inside. But was super annoying as it would just cause wrecks. At Pocono in 2009 all lapped cars were sent to their positions (the back) and leaders were double file. Double File Restarts

IMSA fan watching from afar this season and was only invested in the fact that Honda had a competitive chance at the Drivers Championship. (Manufacture championship is just a consolation prize)

Respectfully disagree with the CD Accord. The F22s were great motors, the v6s were ok for the time

Interesting enough to lease, but not own imo.

Tokyo Drift is one of the best car films of the 00s imo. The only downside is the main actor wasnt the best. The accent was a bit much but is what it is

Very cool write up, I did a write up on OPPO awhile back on my GX470 and have good success with my GX. The biggest thing to me other than the Rust control, is how it actually cleans up some of the surface rust

Fluid Film imo smells like ass, Thats why I went Krown

Couple come to mind mainly German though

Neither was the Focus RS, which is linked.

Like pre-ordering video games, it’s not a good idea to pre-order with Ford, because man Ford had not done well with launch vehicles
