Alfa 4Cs are noooooooooooooooice. I found a pub 5 miles away from my house that sits perfectly on a crossroad where an absolute fuckton of nice cars drive past on a summer's day. I was sat there Sunday and saw a 4C along with a whole fuckload of old English sportscars, a bunch of vintage trucks, Ferraris, some 80s Japanese stuff. All whilst downing pints sat in the sunshine.

The lights and grille are the only part of the car that doesn't look awful. That's quite a loving feat.

I don't like the look of it...
Honda is totally missing the boat with the FK8 platform by not making a stylistically toned down version and calling it the Integra Type R and selling the poo poo out of them at Acura dealers to the guys that really want one but don’t want to park an origami Gundam in their garage.

All that effort to balance the car by moving the engine forward, then they decide to drop a full size spare and battery against the rear bumper.

The lines are gorgeous though. :allears:

The spare behind the engine is the audio warning of an engine fire you didn't see because no one looks in their rear view.

I really can't stand the weird, multifaceted headlight thing that Honda is doing lately, so even the lights look awful to me.

I will grudgingly admit that there's nothing wrong with the grille.

There was a pretty significant overlap with ash trays and 32 oz drinks.

You can't fix willful stupidity.
I mean, of all things, tire rotation is one of the "car things" that you can directly observe the effects of not doing correctly pretty quickly and obviously, unlike, say, fuel injection cleaning and other "flushing" services..

Are auto transmission flushes a "thing"? I've never had to service one and never really looked into them that much. Hell, the only reason I've ever bought ATF was to make panther piss
