Car pranks are great, especially when on a level that they simulate a blown motor.  Not as technical but still just as fun, using Saran Wrap on a vehicle is thought to be safe but actually causes damage called microabrasion.

This is not your average epic video, this is art. It’s rare to see a clip that one could consider a modern masterpiece, but this short film is so epic it’s like it was sent from the JDM gods themselves. Created by Daniel Michaelis, this video captures the true essence of what the Honda NSX stands for; speed, agility, and style! Read more about the epic clip at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

If you look close at the rear quarter panel of that beat-to-hell Acura Integra, you may recognize a Car Domain sticker. That little sticker went round and round Auto Club Speedway’s road course all the way to victory during ChumpCar’s LA Freeway Enduro. The Krider Racing Big Sausage Pizza Delivery Integra won the race by six laps. Check out the coverage at Jalopnik.

Did you know that MILF really stands for “Mother Into Living Fast”? Some guy had his Mom do a sick front-wheel burnout in his Acura RSX, and it’s all caught on tape. Read more about the RSX Momma at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

For years now, Chevrolet has been known for producing vehicle interiors with substandard materials and an overall lack of attention to detail. The fit, finish and quality of even enthusiast cars such as the 4th gen Camaro and the C5 Corvette felt cheap and didn’t match the performance, quality or aesthetic appeal of the vehicle as a whole. This has baffled me since as drivers, don’t we tend to spend most of our time looking at the inside of our cars? That being said, I was pleasantly surprised to find not one, but two Chevrolet models on the list of Ward’s top 10 interiors of 2010. Amazingly enough, the Camaro and Equinox share this list with name plates such as the Porsche Panamera, BMW Gran Turismo and Infiniti M56. Although I don’t really agree with all the cars chosen or the way they’ve been classed, it’s nice to see think that GM might be making some moves in the right direction. Follow the jump for the complete list with categories and pictures.

A new wagon was introduced at the New York Show, and I wondered why it took so long to get here. You see, the European Honda Accord is really a re-badged Acura TSX here in the States, and a wagon has been available on the Continent for a few years. When it hits our shores, the TSX Wagon will only be available with the 2.4L DOHC four cylinder, and a five-speed automatic. Will this be enough to sway potential buyers back into a wagon instead of a crossover? I’m not so sure, because it’s missing two things that appeal to the core Acura buyer; a V-6 engine, and a proper manual transmission. They were so close… What do you think?

Edmunds got their hands on an ultra low mile 1998 Acura Integra Type R and put it up against a 2010 Honda Civic Si. Guess which car they liked more? Kind of sad, really. Honda and Acura need to start building cool cars again. Full story at Edmunds Inside Line
