Correct. Corporations can do things behind the curtain (like spread the costs to other products, reduce operating costs, hit up their parts vendors, find new parts vendors, forfeit bonuses, etc. etc.) to ease the price increase that consumers see. Why would they do that? Wellā¦because they know...
Watch vids on proper hand positioning on the shifter and how it changes with each gear. It makes a difference and can help ensure you donāt miss shift. This may seem trivial, but I think many people learned how to shift from watching the F&F moviesš¤£ā¦which I believe may be a source of people...
Thatās EXACTLY the biggest problem and why itās hard to have civil discussions. Iām not stupid, but I also didnāt get a degree in business (or similar) nor do I have a job in suchā¦so stuff like this isnāt ābasicā to me and surely others too. The problem gets compounded because people (who are...
Iām not trying to be a smart ass, but can you point out sources? Facts from, ideally, unbiased sources tend to help people have a reasonable discussion and not veer into the damn ditch! š Even if itās just the numbers, itās helpful. All of us have become huge skeptics of everything we read, but...
Just to slow down and get back in topic : What I (and I think most here) would be interested in understanding is what yāall think the tariffs will do short and long term. Like it or not, the reality is Trump is the president. Alright. Letās stop the finger pointing BS and the anti-dem / anti-rep...
My goofy video post was more of a remark about this thread and literally ANY political thread on the internet. Theyāre rarely constructive and are a massive waste of time. No one here is going to convince anyone of anything, so Iām just trying to lighten the mood. I donāt care if youāre liberal...
@Bigfx Who knew Kung Pow would be so applicable so many years later? 2025 is so crazy I have to laugh to maintain my sanity. Hereās how I feel about this thread, considering who āthe chosen oneā is and his āsignificance.ā

@lilDumpsterRat Sounds like your dealership is making shit up. Tell them to SHOW you where Honda states that ANY of their vehicles (particularly performance models made for tracking) arenāt warranted beyond 65 mph. Note that Honda has been dealing with fuel pump issues for a few years now...
As stated by someone else, Iām pretty positive most of these omissions were strategic for the North American market. They help keep the price lower, while we also have the choice of the ITS (which is obviously more expensive and loaded with creature comforts).
Note that CTRs in other regions...
@zumbooruk I totally get it. Direct TPMS is definitely a nice feature and super convenient.
On the Type R, the advantage of NOT having direct TPMS is that it makes changing wheels/tire sets easier (for those who track their cars). Less to fiddle around with. Thatās the only reason I can think...
Thatās the thing, exactly as the article points out : This really hurts the buying power of the low and middle class. Upper class may feel it somewhat, but it wonāt stop them from buying things they want. In fact, I was listening to NPR yesterday and they said this exact thing (not verbatim) ...
Iām no market analyst, but what will probably happen is new cars (sitting on the lots now) will be marked up to match the tariff-affected cars coming onto the lots soon.
THEN, because new cars will be so expensive, itās going to inflate the demand and prices of used cars for awhile. So we may...
Even if those sensors were accurate and could do everything you want, thereās no free lunch. Something I really donāt like about these types of sensors is that they depress the valve stem to get the pressure reading. This means that keeping your tires inflated is now reliant on the valve stem...
YES! Google AI is helpful in a lot of ways, but can be VERY wrong with some of the most important, specific, details.š¤¦āāļø Definitely take it with a BIG grain of salt and do your own research diligence with things that matter (like oil capacity or when to take the blue pill vs red pill).š
