That IS Paul Sr.!

Dayum, that motor was carrying some momentum and left it’s host for dead.

I was zooming around in my CRX one fine day, passing people over double yellows and a cop nabbed me. I’m sure that he saw the grandma holding me up, so he let me off with a two warnings - one was that he’s seen what happens to the legs of people who crashed in the Honda. I wiped my forehead when he was out of sight…

Sorry Justin. You married? If you are, you know - the woman is always right. I’m with Kristen in this one. The Ridgeline is much better than the Tanoak (on content, reliability, civility, etc.) and is still a hard sell. Good luck foisting the VW on ‘Muricans other than Richard Spencer fans.

Ask a cop. They are just as popular as the Charger. AWD?

Don’t forget training. A properly trained American crew in an older, basic Abrams would probably take out a brand new one operated by Chechen militants in seconds.

Ford has a history of putting it’s costs above human life - you know, the Pinto thing? They need to work a lot harder on this stuff to live that down. They are failing - again.

Don’t worry. Trump will come to his senses and back off the trade war. He has always been a reasonable man and doesn’t have any trouble admitting it when he’s been wrong.

Why should Ford care that the parts bill for a crash goes up? Seems to me that it would be beneficial to them. I don’t know about you, but I rarely check insurance costs on a car that I like. Then again, I buy boring Hondas and don’t have to - with rare exception, they do well in crash tests. No, in this case, Ford…

Man, this “article” is just more NYC trolling and now everyone is as fired up as Gawker likes them to be.

Exactly.

I wouldn’t have called it sluggish around town. It was a manual after all and you get it to do what you wanted if you knew anything about stirring it yourself.

I dunno - it sure felt a lot faster than 7.7 sec to 60. One thing I can say for sure is that it would do it’s tested top speed - 140 or so.

The six banger SHO wasn’t really very quick...

I can second that. I ran across a Mustang and Camaro (both probably autos) racing and passed both in the right 3rd lane - in a “family car”.

Actually it was a variable intake coming on boil. It had two lengths of intake runners - short for high revs (HP) and long for low (torque). That resulted in the “bundle of snakes” manifold. It really went nuts at 4000 RPM - high enough to avoid dreaded torque steer.

....only when it has paint can exhausts, a cold air intake cut springs and super-tinted windows.

I’ve given up trying to shame people into buying cars. All I can do is try to set an example. They just laugh at me, so...sigh....

The Accord looks as ugly as the Camry looks ridiculous.

Yup, my 2103 is near paid off with only 48K miles. Instead of trading it in (it’s got a “bad” Carfax anyway - side airbag deployment), I may just add a Ridgeline and continue breaking the Accord in.
