Hate that you have had this experience, but thanks for sharing it. I’d be livid too. Heck you can’t ask them to see the order before they send it to check if they can read. We just trust that they are paying attention. But I think Honda are sending out whatever they can, knowing anything...

One problem with really fast cars is that some get really fast, very quickly. In a 720 you can go from 70 to 140 and back to 70 in ten seconds. And you do. Can’t help it. Radar detector set to alarm at 100 mph so that you know when it happens. Our ‘15 Si felt surprisingly stable at 120 the...

As a comparison, bone stock 2015 Si got 36.5 Thursday on a five hour interstate run, in left lane a lot. Traffic moving 80+ most of the way. No AC. Over the years I see 29.5 in city driving. 2.4 liter NA.

Ever drive a Bentley? Sooo quiet. Windows are double paned, helps hold off all that worldly noise out there. Have owned dozens of cars and that was the only one where I ever noticed a difference in “cabin noise”, just not something I’m ever aware of.

I only have one wireless charger, at home on the nightstand, Apple product. Thin phone case comes off, magnets align the charger pad to to millimeter before it will activate. Sure looks like the folks trying to add this to their American Si might want to reconsider. This is a new tech for the...

Honda planned it that way all along. The Si was smoke and mirrors to get our attention. They never built many but put these Integra demos in every dealership. Can’t blame them, Profit needs to happen. But I’ve no interest in any of their models if I had to drive them. Great cars but no...

Too obvious to be called a conspiracy theory but sure seems the orange Si replacement I wanted was vaporware, they are just not building them. Sure the original press release and the first press cars were orange. Got my deposit in an hour. But they never made any. They quickly offered me an...

How are sales numbers, delivery numbers comparing Si to Integra in US? With the Acura being the upper crust model, I’d expect at least twice as many Si as Integras in the US. My question really is, how many are they building? Are they building more Si than Integra? Might let us see their...

Seems a big part of it is how many cars/vehicles you have available. If just one or two vehicles a four door is just about a neccessity. And that cavernous lift back is going to be very useful. Bentley say their average owner has seven other vehicles. And that is how full our driveways were...

Right, I’m not really looking to drive all that fast, but just taking somewhat technical curves at the speed limitish, carrying momentum and catching the shift, a heel toe or two going into a turn. Driver involvement, feeling vibrations of the drivetrain in my hands and feet. Went home by...

Just sayin

I hear you NeoD. But at 66 I did enjoy having a winding up and down backroad with no traffic yesterday morning in our Si. It was good fun to enjoy some shifting that related to turn entries and all that. I would really miss doing this sometimes. But yes things have changed since twenty years...

Drive the car a while, it will teach you how to shift with the least efforts. Record mileage at fill ups and this gives you true mileage. It’s like a bicycle, there are efficient ways to get there and inefficient ways. With a bike we feel it in our legs, with a car the mileage. Sitting still...

There is not a car on that carrier that has a color. There are cars in background that have colors. That carrier could be on a black and white monitor. The paint on these is conservative, stuff they know will sell, people feel safe. Being like most of the world is comforting, I guess...

We had a 370Z Nismo. Fun car, some things to really like. But very little luggage space and I never trusted the back end. My one Tennis bag about filled the trunk. Fails the “Take a friend to the beach for the weekend” test. But yes you have to look at it in this segment, a manual fun car...

10 months after giving a deposit at the Honda dealer for an Si and having that moved to an Integra there are no cars in sight for the rest of the year. I asked for my deposit back. Turned out they have a Red/black manual build for September. So maybe this will happen. I suspect their waiting...

Love a 75 gallon. That 1:1:2 proportion is just right. What are you planning to keep in it? The slider? I have an aquatic turtle over 20 years old in a 75. UV sterilization on an Eheim canister keeps it clear and smelling ok. Those turtles are the toughest thing to keep in terms of odor.

I’m glad I am not trying to learn how to wrench at this time in automotive history. I’m no pro but have screwed up enough to usually be able to see it coming. But I learned on much simpler machines. Our track Lotus is built about as sophisticated as a WW II airplane. You’ve taken on...

Can’t help it to me the Honda is a much better looking car, and I dig the orange. Already had a deposit for most of a year and no cars in sight, might be another year before I can really expect either Si or Acura to be for sale. No telling what other cars are on the horizons by the time...
