Semi Truck Drags Sedan Down Illinois Highway
If I hear about a passenger car being involved in a collision with a semi-truck, I’d assume that would be nothing left resembling an automobile. The driver usually doesn’t survive the incident or is seriously injured at best. I would never believe that the driver would be waving out the side window to another car, […]
This 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo Is Buckwild Engineering At Its Best
Have you ever heard of the phrase “scope creep”? It’s what happens when you don’t lock the requirements down on a project early enough.

California Car Dealer Sues BMW And Mercedes Over Lease Buyout Restrictions
If you were leasing a car, there was a time when you could trade that leased car to any dealership instead of giving it back to the brand you got it from. Due to the used car shortage, several automakers are no longer allowing these third-party lease buyouts, and a California luxury car dealer has […]

I Guess Anyone Can Become The Best Car Mechanic For Just $2.99 Plus Tax
I may be yelling into the void here, but I’m sure there are plenty of you that love cars and don’t understand the entire mechanics of a vehicle. And that’s ok. Not all of us were born from our mothers’ wombs with wrenches in-hand and a need to take everything encountered apart, just to eventually […]
The Ten Dumbest Car Names Out There
After all the design, engineering and safety testing is done, your meticulously crafted car is going to need a name.

Acura’s Original NSX Is Still The Simplest Automotive Joy
Honda’s New Sports eXperimental absolutely changed the game when it debuted in 1990. It was a beautiful and exotic shape from a company better known for economy cars, with the performance to match.

The 2022 Honda Civic Si: A Good Compromise Leaves Everyone Happy
You can tell a lot about a car’s priorities from its seats. Jeep Wrangler seats are hard-wearing, but comfortable enough for those lifestyle buyers.

Honda Is Bringing The Hornet Back
Hornet is a storied nameplate in the motorcycle landscape. Well, it is everywhere but here, anyway. Back when the Hornet originally launched back in 1998 Chrysler still held the Hornet name in the U.S. market thanks to a long dead AMC product, so here it was known as the CB600F. Maybe it would have done […]
The 2022 Honda Navi Is The Bargain Beginner Bike High Gas Prices Will Have You Begging For
If the Honda Grom designers set out to build something that was cheap, efficient, and fun, the design brief for the Navi must have been ‘Cheaper! More efficient!’ and in tiny font at the bottom of the page ‘Not quite as fun.’ The Navi was built as a go-between, with a whole lot of scooter […]

Honda Cars Could Politely Text Pedestrians To Get The Hell Out Of The Way
Honda and Softbank are working together to try to reduce the number of accidents involving pedestrians and cars, as the Japanese carmaker tries to make good on its promise of a collision-free society.
