I'm sure there's a tradeoff somewhere - weight versus rigidity, etc. Probably would need a two sided swing arm for that wide, or a really serious single-sided.


That is sweet. Hadn't seen that before. I'd think a rocket/bullet shape to the rear, possibly with stabilizer fins, would do the trick. The guys at Blastolene would know what to do, I bet.

It's an aesthetic, and a practical choice - where better for an air-cooled engine?

More engines should be visible from the exterior of the car. A lot of people worked hard on those beauties, might as well show them off!

Am I the only person who thinks the CRZ was a horrible, horrible car not because it's bad, but because it's not good at anything? Meh performance, meh gas mileage, meh interior (and only 2 seats for some reason) and meh looks. It just doesn't fit into any niche whatsoever.

I like the CRZ, I just think it's too big for what it is. Get rid of the fake back seats, shorten it ~12in, and I'm in

Oh, awesome!
You're going to rip those and put them up on YT or Soundcloud or something right? RIGHT?

I'm trying to get my hands on a functional record player with aux or USB output to get a background noise-free file. Clear recording reasons aside, none of my Grandmas players will spin for more that 45 seconds before resetting the arm(?) and turning off, so I can't even get the needle past the first few grooves

I don't even know what is on these yet, but analogue recordings of "random engine noises, possibly without commentary" is the most niche thing I've ever heard of

That is also true. Incandescent lights don't care about AC or DC power. They're just heating elements that just happen to produce light.

My dad used to always say that, especially in the summer. Before we could turn on the A/C, we had to turn off every non-essential light. I always thought he was just cheap, but I guess he was also right

In Europe at least, the 8 series are very desirable cars. The 840s are actually more valuable as they bring the same performance without having the terrifying v12 maintenance :) Personally I think they are awesome, I'd love to have one.

They still go for ~$12k at the low end in the midwest, whereas you can get a 750il with the same engine for ~$3k. Not super desirable, but holding value pretty well for a car that no one remembers

I love them, they're almost the Ur-90's sports coupe. I wish the pop up headlights would either be higher, like Porsches and Mazdas, or try to keep the lines of the car, like an Opel GT

The cheapest I've ever seen is $400 for the pickup beds. Of course, that's not including shipping, taxes, etc. Realistic price to get it to Savannah so my uncle can get it registered in the US is around $1700, otherwise I'd have at least 2 kei cars by now

The simple issue is likely just that there isn't a justifiable market for Honda to jump through the hoops of bringing one over, I doubt that there are that many people willing to pay what it'd cost for what is very much a toy car.

I mean, to put it in perspective, when the Cappuccino was new in the UK, once they'd got it brought over and done localisation etc, it was £12k, more than twenty years ago. That's £22.5k today, or $31,500.

I see the new FIAT's everywhere, so there might be a growing market for roadsters, but even if money were no object, I would have trouble justifying a tiny $32k toy like the S660

And hilariously small convertibles are kinda my thing

On long hauls you want to stop frequently anyways, it makes the drive way less painful.

My method is to drink just enough that I gotta stop to pee every 3 hours. If I had to stop to fill up my Italian exotic that often that would be even better because check it out fuckers, I got to drive a car that costs six figures.

This might be a symptom of youth, but I prefer driving uninterrupted for as long as possible. I feel like the breaks to walk and stretch remind me of how awful driving long distance is, and staying in drivers' seat makes it easier to just accept the discomfort
