My wife & I bought a 2002 new that she drove every day for nearly 4 years. I wasn't that big a fan of the car, but that was primarily due to the silly e-shift transmission (she can't drive a manual) but she loved it. My sister has had that car since as her dd and I think it's now got 160,000...

IMHO, Woodford Reserve is excellent bourbon. Makers Mark is a good, every day bourbon and while I like Bookers and Bakers I find they have a bit too much "bite" for my pallet most days. I don't like Jim Beam. If I'm smoking cigars, I drink Lagavulin 16. If I'm not smoking (which I rarely...

Having had the honor of living with a Japanese family while studying at a Japanese university for 6 months in the 90's.... I'm not shocked or surprised. Japan ain't perfect (what nation is?) but her people are strong & feel a desire to put the needs of the group ahead of the individual. I'm...

Yes they are... But most union workers are good people.

I sold my 98 NSX when we ordered my 08 Carrera S... I'm not sure the P car made my Acura feel like a dump truck but more than a decades worth of progression (and a lot of money) can readily be felt between the two platforms. But I do miss the exclusivity of the NSX...

I still think that's terrible. It looks like The bastard child of a Caddy CTS and the TL

And that is a damned shame. Who would have guessed that the engineering driven company that used to make fun, interesting, and bulletproof vehicles would have consumers worried like this?

Amen.. As a long time Honda enthusiast I'm all but disgusted that the only Honda/Acura product that is currently sold in the US that I find interesting is the Fit & the Odyssey. Everything else is either ugly beyond words, eclipsed by the competition or boring

Amen. If I were interested in YouTube videos of some idiot street racing and driving far faster than legal or safe I would be on another website.

It looks like these deals are only on base "stripper" vans & not up level ex-l or touring level vans

To each his own. But to me the brakes, steering, structural integrity and power of the current 997S is light years ahead of the NSX... as it should be for a much newer car. I'm not taking anything away from the NSX.. hell, I loved mine... but I'm also a realist. I agree that the cabin "feel"...

Me too. I loved my NSX but my 997s is in a whole new realm in almost every respect but for exclusivity.

Granted it was the first episode but I was very disappointed. After countless false starts and all the lead up the first episode was not good. Even the Lambo comparison was boring to me and that's hard to do.

Baseball lost a living legend today when Sparky succumbed to complications related to dementia. By all accounts Sparky was a good man and few can argue his acumen as a baseball man. My dad took me to the 1984 world series in San Diego... It's one of my earliest sports memories with my pops & I...

Another big loss for Hawaiian surfing. Aloha a hui hou bruddah
