You sent me down a ten minute rabbit hole of Googling “Dan Castellaneta Greenwich CT”, “Does Dan Castellaneta live in Connecticut”, “Dan Castellaneta address” and I think I’m on a list now
I refuse to play Elon’s game
Jump starting is always scary. I once had a jumper cable start melting into the frame of a friend’s Jeep Liberty, and that was with everything connected correctly
The Sport’s price hasn’t changed much from the tenth generation Civic, so I’d imagine the Si will similarly stick around the $25k range. For that couple grand over the Sport, you get the upgraded suspension, limited-slip differential, and the outgoing Si actually had a bigger turbo than its contemporary Sport. No word… Read more
I wonder if Honda could bolt up the dual clutch from the ILX. I know being manual-only is part of the cachet of the Si, but I think that’d be a pretty compelling option for a lot of people
If Volvo put this drivetrain in a C30 body, I’d be extremely interested. If they put it in a C70, specifically the pre-facelift second-generation body, I would never own another vehicle
The bubbles have gotta go straight up your nose on takeoff, right? Is it actually smooth enough to comfortably drink a fizzy beverage? DID I MISS OUT?
Definitely still check it out! If you can get into the interior materials, and don’t mind the visibility, it’s a fantastic vehicle to drive. If you can’t, the XC40 is right there.
I actually had a good conversation about beltlines with the design director at this event. They definitely tried to keep them low, and I think they did a good job with it. Front and side visibility are totally fine, but the rear is downright claustrophobic.
Funnily, a screen in the car would *help* that. If they just… Read more
Before anyone else takes it, I’m calling dibs on The Electric Silverado as a band name. We’re a jazz fusion group with two drummers, and neither of them can keep time
They were right, wing good. This is what peak performance looks like, etc etc
I was never a Honda guy growing up, but a ‘16 Type R from Turo completely won me over. If you’ve never tried one out, I definitely recommend a rental or test drive, anything to get some seat time. It has this sort of goading feeling, like it always wants you to be going faster, revving higher, cornering harder.
Honestly, I love the spoiler this time around. Enough with plastic-stand STi replicas, give us more GT-looking wings on (semi) affordable cars
For anyone wondering: Yes, I listened to Dragula on repeat for the duration of researching and writing this
If this isn’t the feature’s official name, I’m filing a bug report
The pirate’s life for me!
I find a wheel and pedal setup much easier for precision driving, but actually harder to control in a drift. I have no idea why. Read more
I eyed that one before grabbing the Ducky from my desk photo! I don’t remember why I didn’t go for it at the time, but you can never have too many keebs -- maybe there’s one in my future yet
I’ve been practicing by listing Subaru engine designations while standing on my head
I just, last night, ordered a prototype of a 40% + numpad board that’ll never have a group buy off a Discord server. At least, I hope I did. I definitely sent someone money, I know that much.
