Same engine (block) even. What do I win?

I have a ‘17 Civic hatchback and a ‘17 NSX. They both use the same oil plug washers and coolant, so it makes maintenance a bit easier. Read more

The cost of a replacement thermostat for mine foretold the future of BMW’s maintenance costs.  Great car, though.   Read more

This things make a huge difference. Found this quote from a story associated with the Tesla crash mentioned in this story Read more

I remember thinking just how much better it was than the car I bought in 1976. And deciding it wasn’t three times better, which was how much more it cost. Mine was a small rwd two door sedan that handled like a dream and got just under 40mpg (US gallons). Read more

Back in the day, our local Chevy dealer (Jim Booher) got talked into selling these, and, not surprisingly, it didn’t work out well. They ended up offering them free, if you bought a new Impala. Read more

I passionately hate side-hinged doors. I think they’re the dumbest design solution for the entry/egress problem—the opening is a major structural weakness that requires a lot of reinforcement both for the hinges for the heavy-ass door and for the main vehicle structure, they are a swinging hazard, and they partly… Read more

The front door of a sedan or coupé, for example, could have a hidden track on the inside of the door that supports the door at slides forward parallel to the front quarter panel. If the… Read more

I think I’ve got it figured out...

Our kids stomped their feet like your designers when we thought about getting a BMW i3 because they did not get a door that they could open by themselves. Suicide Doors for the rear. So their mother got a Transit Minivan to tote them around in. Read more

As someone in Chevrolet sales here in the states I really hope it doesn’t get to that level here. We are taking precautions here but judging by how slow it is on a Saturday (hence why I’m on Jalop) I think it is slowing sales down. Read more

Not as hard as it looks. The key is to chain together a big combo and mix some special tricks in for an easy sick score. Read more

Yay! Matt's here! Saturday and Torchday are my fave days here. (I think Torchday is Tuesday) Read more

I have one! It really is fun to drive. Turns heads wherever I go and I usually have people approach me to talk about it when I park it somewhere.

in hindsight a car that was made for a 50-mile city sprawl, was maybe not the best choice of import for a county covered in wide lashings of boring 55mph roads. not surprised they couldn’t achieve a decent mileage since they probably had to wring it out everywhere they went Read more

And the guy who imported them? Malcolm Bricklin, of Bricklin Safety Vehicle fame. Read more
