    I'm needin' it.
  2. Driverless cars really the future we'd want?

    I see lots of stories on the Intertubes and TV about driverless cars. Of course, there is hesitation for widespread adoption given recent stories of Teslas and their owners taking naps while the car drives itself to work (and crashes) or failing during commonplace risk assessment in everyday...
  3. Ryan Lochte and Brazilian corruption

    If you follow the Olympics then you already know what's up. Gold medalist swimmer, Brian Lochte and teammates let loose in Rio after winning gold and partied until dawn and then got in some hot water by exaggerating an insignificant event event on their way home to the Olympic Village. The...

  5. Civic Type R on Top Gear

    i don't know if anyone else caught it but a nice red Type R showed up on This week's Top Gear. There wasn't a full feature about it but it was briefly pitted against the new Focus RS and Mercedes hatch. Although it was handily trounced by those two, the Civic sure was the best looking.

So I have to wonder, since when do Americans need a "permit" at all to hang out...
  7. How hard do you have to press the brake pedal to start?

    I've noticed a strange thing with my auto-Civic. In the morning when I start up, I end up going through the ACC cycle then off and then retry a couple times before I can start it. I have to really force the brake pedal down to start and it feels unnatural compared to every other auto I've...

    I was cruising around today and came up on an intersection which always raises my hairs and sure enough, a dipshit almost caused me to either T-bone him or get smashed head-on with incoming traffic. I was lucky that the truck was turning right. I'm sure if an accident had happened, I would...
  9. Civic dash cam install: Mini0806

    Whether you consider a dash cam a novelty or security, there is really no excuse to not having one nowadays. Sure, the Russian videos of the giant meteor streaking across the sky was cool along with the rampant jumping onto cars for insurance claims is entertaining, the fact is, the dash camera...
  10. Installing a Gentex auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink into a '16 Civic

    Nothing is worse than clipping an obnoxious garage-door remote control on the sun visor and in the case of the well equipped Honda Civic with remote start, it's inexplicable why HomeLink was omitted. Thankfully, Gentex mirrors with HomeLink remote controls are readily available for super cheap...
