Students Saran Wrap Teacher’s Acura RSX

Michael Berenis — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:13:00 +0000

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.

Epic Honda NSX Video

Michael Berenis — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:27:50 +0000

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.

Top Ten Vehicles That Need to Come Back

Rob Einaudi — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:54:32 +0000

Most of these vehicles should never have disappeared in the first place, but all of them need to come back. Now. Let me know what you think of my list. What did I miss?

Ford Bronco

I really don’t know what Ford is waiting for. Seems like a no brainer to me.

See the rest after the jump!

Datsun 510

Nissan doesn’t need to do it, but someone does. Affordable boxy RWD sedan with a four banger. Someone? Anyone? Pic is of Brandon’s 510.

VW Bus

This seems like another no brainer. Hey VW, what’s the holdup? Pic is of Bill’s Bus.

Mazda RX-7

Come on Mazda, do the right thing. This pic is of Phat’s RX-7.

Acura Integra

Seriously, what is Honda thinking these days? I don’t get it. Pic is of Jonathan’s Integra.

Subaru Brat

The Baja didn’t cut it. Bring back the Brat!

Jeep Comanche

There were more rumors about this last week. Come on Jeep!

Porsche 928

There are also rumors about this one coming back, based on the new Panamera platform. Makes sense to me. And how about a new 944 while you’re at it?

Ferrari Dino

Ferraris are too expensive. Remember the Dino? They go for big bucks now but they used to be cheap (well, relatively speaking). Great shot of this silver 246 by Patrick Ernzen.

Lamborghini Miura

Lamborghini made a big point of saying they aren’t building this, but I don’t know why the hell not.

“Mom Does A Burnout In My Car”

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.

Ward’s Surprising 2010 Interior of the Year Awards

Chris Bicknell — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 10:12:41 +0000

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.

What new 2010 interior would make your top ten list?

NYIAS: The Acura TSX Wagon–A European Honda Accord With a New Badge.

Jim Brennan — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:16:07 +0000

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?

1998 Acura Integra Type R vs. 2010 Honda Civic Si

Rob Einaudi — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:51:51 +0000

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
