Nuclear is proven, many developed countries have demonstrated it. Why hasn’t America gone nuclear? Politics and money. Henry Ford attempted electric cars from the beginning while Nikola Tesla had research for zero-point gravity engine, then he mysteriously died, research lost. Oil tycoon...
If you’re in Quebec it’s mainly ABB, Inc. I’ve worked with them on a number of large contracts for hydroelectric powerplants.
Banning and taxes on ICE is more of a political play than it is a practical purpose. We’re talking hundreds of millions of ICE cars, trucks, utility trucks, law...
I follow two companies that develop solid state batteries, Solid Power and Samsung, both of which are developing solid state batteries with contracts for car manufacturers. It’s a step forward; which increases the range of electric cars and helps eliminate battery explosions and battery size...
I still have severe doubts that will ever come to fruition. Too many worldly and technical variables involved to shut people out of ICE cars. As an Electrical engineer, I don’t own an electric vehicle. None of my colleagues do either. I’ll leave it at that
Not sure why it gets repeated that the ITS is a rebadged CTR. Historically Acura has always been Honda. Parts have always been interchangeable. If I’m not mistaken the NSX and Integra were the first two that received the Type R badge anyway, with the Civic following after. So between the two...
You’re absolutely right that I’ll be standing inches away from it everyday and scrutinize, yet with all these pictures I’ll still be buying the ITS, it’ll still be disappointing if I have to stare at a mismatched paint job or misaligned components.
The other person who would stand close and...
Yes this is the demo car in the showroom loaded with $10k worth of accessories. Looked wonderful in person, yet upon closer inspection I noticed a few fender to bumper fitment issues and gaps. I also didn’t understand why they only applied partial PPF which made the white color complexion very...
What I’m referring to is this:
Right below the hood , there is a section that has PPF. Neither the hood nor the bumper has PPF. When I saw it in person the color difference really stood out. Perhaps with white, it’s hard to get away with just partial PPF on the car
Would you be okay with just half car PPF? Wouldn’t the color complexion be much different if not applied on the entire car? Secondly, assuming you keep the car long term, would you then need to apply PPF a second time? The costs really adds up significantly
Dollar collapse is just around the corner. With all the recent policies, inflation, wild spending, money printing, high interest rates and looming world conflict; a big awakening call is just around the corner.
Have some patience for the ITS and hopefully people don’t get too irresponsible...
Forgive me for asking, as I’ve never been a tuner. What does hondata or reflashing do to give such large gains in HP/torque? Would it be harmful to the vehicles components in the long run?
To me it doesn’t matter if panel gaps are common. Many people spend to buy a car once or twice in their lives. Putting down hard earned cash people would expect quality
That all depends on what the owner sees as value. You would spend a premium on PPF for $100k+ car because you either like the look, want to protect and keep the paint in pristine condition. At the same time, someone who spends $55k+ on an ITS might be the most they’d ever spend on a vehicle...

Very well stated, to the point that you may have just confirmed my own future decisions. I’ve never PPF’d any vehicles. I plan to have the ITS as my daily driver for at least 10+ years as I have with all of my Acura rides. Cars are not really an investment. They are costly, and to me 3k-7k ppf...
Just curious why no PPF? I’ve never done PPF on any of my vehicles and noticing many are doing so. Just trying to figure out if it’s worth the money long term
