Considering the handicap the Type R was given for “exterior styling,” it wins easily.

The sidewall says 50 PSI. Well, what little sidewall there is.

Well it definitely didn’t get down to 20. I knew about that. I know of no warm up procedure for below 40 or below 32. It only got down to 30 over night. Still it’s possible there was a small effect? I’ll keep an eye on it.

That makes sense, and I will. Do you have a proper link to that procedure? I don't believe I've ever seen it and it certainly wasn't something the dealer went over with me.

Me too. It was the rear driver's side tire that was lowest, which made think I had just taken some turns too hard. I've seen pictures of those tires on hard turns and they look practically ready to slide off the rims so granted I'm no tire expert but I don't imagine myself sounding too ignorant...

No gearing issues at all for me so far at 2,500 miles. I know the people who say they're having problems say they're shifting correctly, but every shift mechanism is slightly different and I can clearly tell this one does not like more force being put on it than is necessary or off angle...

No worries about that. If I feared the car I wouldn't be driving it.

Haha, I don’t think that’s what the R stands for.

My windows are tinted and I never have a problem with a hot shift knob in Tucson, but I'm thinking about getting these motorbike gloves because I grip the steering wheel so hard and for so long on road trips that my palms get sweaty.

Okay well I'm back from a 2,000-mile road trip to the north and back, across a wide variety of temperature, elevation, and road condition changes. Temperature went down to freezing over night and I left my hotel when my weather app said it was 40°F. The air compressor came in handy. The TPMS...

You know how if you've ever played Mirror's Edge, an object will light up red in tutorial mode to show the path? That's how I feel when I see my RR in a parking lot filled with white, silver, gray, and black cars. Like something is saying, that car, get in it.

I test-drove an Si before getting a CTR and the Si is really good, frankly. Thought it had really good pickup and nice contact with the road. It's a nice light car. The CTR is over 300 lbs. heavier and in sport mode is kind of like a heavier Si with more power and better tires. It's when you use...

Picked the car up from getting coated and it looked fantastic! If anyone needs a contact for Ceramic Pro in Tucson, let me know. Drove back to Tempe to get the proper tint installed. I asked for ceramic but they installed Suntek CXP. Now I have Suntek CIR, which blocks more heat with more...

About to go on a road trip north until it gets too cold for the tires. There will be long stretches of desert with no cell contact. Aside from plenty of water, is there anything I should take with me? I have a Black & Decker portable power station with jumper cables and an air compressor, an...

2,000 US models purchased sounds about right. Are there really over 1,000 Honda dealerships selling cars, or is that number inflated by motorcycle dealerships and parts/repair centers?

I've just been looking at the inventory on Honda's website. They don't show VINs but you can see what's in transit and what's on the lot. Here's the Type R inventory page for Right Honda. You can see they have a CW and CBP incoming...

Oh okay, yeah that sounds about right. I only saw the CW appear as in transit early last week and it usually takes a couple weeks to arrive after that.

Still haven't seen one in Tucson, but there's someone with a white hatch and Type R spoiler and red emblem that I've seen twice now on the northwest side. There's a member here with a PMM but it's not his daily and he says he doesn't drive it much. Chapman is selling to people out of state. I...

Appreciate the warnings. I think I'm good to keep the stock tires on year-round in Tucson and shouldn't have to worry for daytime driving, but it can get to the low 40s sometimes at night in winter. Will have to be careful.
