Should've gotten a Carrera 4...
I like the glass resembling retro-esque lights on the American version; however, the European mirrors seem to be actually functional, the exhaust seems larger, and the rear diffuser seems deeper with amber reflectors, which I like on this particular car.
If given the option, I would pass on the eye grabber in the middle of my tachometer and speedometer, not to mention the kilometer thing...
I've read the articles. Honda could have just as easily not issued a software revision and had their customers pay for the replacement batteries after their warranty expired, which would likely about total the car at that point. Also, as noted before, the EPA had a hand in the optimistic averages that still could have been obtained by the right driver. Not to mention that hybrids currently have an almost laughable service life due to mostly battery degradation, and how lithium recycling is becoming increasingly less lucrative as most manufacturers aren't using the cobalt variety to provide a cheaper initial price for their consumers making long-term hybrid ownership continually less lucrative. Aside from what Honda already noted in their defense, and considering both side's evidence, I simply don't agree with the judge's ruling. Even if I didn't, it's hard to deny Peters received a good bit more than what would have compensated her for the lowered fuel economy, and took a risk as a consumer as she failed to research her investment from multiple sources before committing to a purchase.
That's my own opinion, but then again our opinions aren't worth much.
The 4.6 3Vs or 4Vs aren't bad at all. While I'll admit the LS engine was more performance oriented, I had the pleasure of driving a 07 supercharged Saleen. Do you want to shift at 1500 rpm all the way up to interstate speed to get insane gas mileage? No problem. Do you want to do a pull from 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear from a dead stop? I don't recommend it, but it can be done. With Saleen's exhaust it has no drone at interstate speed and switches to near straight pipes when you want to be heard. It handled to relatively heavy car with ease, was tame enough to drive every day, and had plenty of power, which makes it one of my favorite engines. The Northstar LC3 seemed like it could match or possibly exceed it, but they never gave it the T-56 it deserved.
2nd Gear: I hate to see someone steal from a good business, considering anyone can alter their driving style to get more or less than the EPA's averages... The fact she was legally able to do so proves the fallacy of our justice system in a way. Honda may have lost all of the soul it had in its vehicles by axing the S2000, making the Civic overweight, and threatening a hybrid NSX; however, Honda's motorcycle line is still full of soul withe offerings for the most extreme or docile riders of any budget. Anyway, here is the best Civic Hybrid and Prius review in the world.
I'm sorry offizer for ze speeding violation. I'm just so used to driving on ze Autobahn.
Not many new cars look good with two-tone paint...
The Phantom is sad because it didn't make the list, but doesn't show it.
Yeah, it's just been about a year since I've used it. A 10% failure rate is fairly high when you're supposed to be driving at the same time you correct it. It really grinds my gears when you have to repeat what you've said 5 or 6 times before simply giving up.
I'm not a fan of Sync's voice activation. I would say something like "Play Song Dogs Artist Pink Floyd." Then it would say back to me in a monotonous choppy voice "Calling Elizabeth's cell." Then I have to pretend that my truck didn't dial her by mistake and with a quickly thought out made up excuse without a Twix. I can't imagine the mistakes that would be made with legitimate questions.
I've got a bottle of the Macallan. It waited 12 years for me to drink it tonight.
In a former life this man escaped prison by digging a tunnel with a spoon.
Now all we need are carbon ceramic/composite engines and components... I recall there was a company trying to make a rotary or rotors. It would seem like the current costs to manufacture and how most materials with a crystal lattice transfer heat almost instantly it would make anything metal around it possibly warp or crack prevent anything from being on the market. Hopefully the consumer will be able to at least be able to get a hold of carbon pistons and valves sometime soon.
A tailor-made, armored Rolls Royce Phantom. Let's face it, unless you're a political figure, a mobster, or going to a high profile event you won't have a motorcade of body guards. Having body guards normally isn't for protection either; it's to show that you are important enough to have body guards. Nothing would augment that idea more than being a Phantom, and with an optional separate driver and passenger compartments for privacy, a suspension over engineered to make the roughest roads seem smooth, and a V12 with enough torque to pull down a house even the body guard/guards/driver will feel a strong sense of importance. The Phantom is one of the few cars made where the owners are intended to primarily be passengers.
Definitely getting laid. /sarcasm
...haul muck?
The car has 1300hp, yet it doesn't seem like the driver needs any more power than an unmodified Z06 to terrify her with straight line acceleration alone.
On the other hand the most terrifying ride that I had was in a 2000-ish Honda Civic. In a 20 minute span she almost got into multiple accidents that definitely would have been her fault; yet she was laying on her horn, waving her middle finger, and yelling profanities every time. I got tired of pressing the floorboard where the brake would be and simply closed my eyes in embarrassment and fear thinking something on the lines of "what the f***, how can a sober person drive THIS badly?" When we got to where we were going I suggested she have a drink so that I would have an excuse to drive her car home. Needless to say, I never rode in her car again.
The British car owner stereotype is being stuck up. The fact that you have common decency suggests that it might be true. /sarcasm
Considering that Phoenix City was formerly reknown for its whore houses and shitty gambling, that's not saying much. The time zone thing is annoying, especially since I once went there by Greyhound bus. Having an extra hour of layover in the Montgomery Greyhound station was less than pleasurable, and when I arrived the clock said I was two hours late. I will say that Columbus is much better than Montgomery.
That's more like Texas.
