This. I had an 04 TSX and I regret selling it.

First and Second Gen Acura TSX.
Extremely comfortable. Great to drive. Excellent 6-speed manual. Can get the second-gen in a wagon. Basic, clean styling that holds up today. Pinnacle of what made Honda/Acura famous for reliability (especially first gen). You can find them today dirt cheap, even in good shape.

I was the…

A normal car to see around my neck of the woods is a CUV. And one model in one color stands out.

This was neat, and definitely a learning experience.

As an automotive engineer, we love getting “real world” vehicles back for review. That’s why every automaker puts hundreds of thousands of real-world miles on pre-production vehicles. You can design a truck to survive something like this and you can conduct ingress tests, salt-spray tests, impact and debris tests, the…

Show up, swap the flood truck and have 10 more to lend to FEMA or whichever state for assistance with disaster recovery to show how rugged the truck is and get ten times the marketing dollars out of it (wrap every vehicle with a good “Rivian Cares” graphic etc).

The 16 year old driving the Odyssey, and apologizing reminded me of a time I did something a bit similar...

Re: Reckless Teen Actually Apologizes, great story! I can’t help but assume that everyone else who read this (maybe of a certain age) pictured “Uncle Deadhead” to be Sam Elliot, circa Roadhouse age.

thats the best way to ever get punked-out in public...with your gf. no violence no blood loss. a dude steps in to de-escalate the situation. you go home with your nuts in ya hand but unhurt.

The closest I’ve ever been to a real fight as an adult was on Frat Beach at GA/FL with a visibly drunk pledge in a banana costume, but that has nothing to do with cars.

I don’t normally answer these since they’re not really for staff, but hopefully, you this one hits enough key Jalop points to be worth it.

I just bought an electric motorcycle and I always electrocute myself before I plug it in to get all of that old, nasty electricity out of the cable first.

If I saw this I’d flick a cigarette at them.

And in reverse

It looks like a Civic Type R that was dragged through every aisle of an AutoZone.

I googled some pictures of side markers (both front and rear) as a sanity check for your claim and sure enough, they are all amber in the front and red in the rear in all the examples that popped up.

I thought red lights indicated the actual rear of a vehicle, not a rear-side.  If I see a red light, I think it is the back of the vehicle, and your wish would screw that up.  Same with white.  It indicates direction of travel.

Sad to say, but the owner probably got the best possible outcome there —- insurance pays her to replace a vehicle that has terrifying depreciation. It’s the only way she’d ever get close to her money back. 

Looks like it is no longer a 4 door luxury sports coupe like the 1st gen. All 3 of the 2009-2013 ZDX owners will be very upset.
