Curious if anyone is gonna be at the dayton auto this thurs-Sunday? I have drill but I’m probably gonna stop by thurs or fri since military gets in free. Idk if Honda will be there but I think it will be interesting regardless.

I'm on the other side of Ohio, so I'll probably end up going to the Cleveland show this Sunday or next.

Honda was there last year. Nothing fancy or special, but all the normal stuff was there. I replied in your other thread, depending on when you go I may be interested in meeting up.

Yes, but I don't use it, I can just give you my phone number and you can text me, if you'd like. If you aren't comfy with that that's fine too, my kids use discord I imagine they could show me what's up. Let me know and I'll PM you my #.

Nice, I'm right around the block but don't want to tie my handle to where I work, I'll tell you tomorrow but I can see your smokestacks from my parking lot.
Good idea I edited my post.

Gotta say, surprisingly, out of all the cars there, the two that seemed to get the most attention, were a Jeep Rubicon with a truck bed (it was nice but all jeeps suck as daily drivers) and... Drumroll please... The Honda Civic Type R. The ctr was parked with its lights on but at the back of the Honda booth. There were probably 7 people around it when we walked up, mostly older than the 41 that I am. Lots of people talking about it.

My take as an si driver? I like the dashboard better on the ctr. Seats, to me, felt either the same or slightly more supportive and bolstery on the Si. Ctr steering wheel is nicer, the wing is ridiculous. All the scoops and vents and lips on the ctr are cool. Volume knob is a turd, it's an afterthought like the size of a pencil and felt insulting, while the accord's was really nice (accord's while screen and interface was much better).

Winner of the show, for me, was... I don't know... I liked a corvette grand prix (I think), a Mercedes amg convertible, a Cadillac coupe that looked very slick but I wouldn't really want one, ctr minus the wing plus a coupe, and maybe Acura type a tsx/isx (I don't remember what the two of them are called but they looks mean), oh and I always really want to like Buicks, the regal gs was pretty nice.

Definitely agree on that assessment. Good showing for the type r. Glad we could meet up for it.
