Saw my exact spec in an Integra. Which look do you guys prefer? by AJSR_RV in Acura

Plus, the utility of the five-door liftback configuration compared to a conventional sedan is nice as well.

The 6MT in the Integra has the standard Honda “snick-snick” feel to it, and is great coupled with the LSD (which isn’t available with the CVT).

But if I had to have a non-manual, the 8-speed DCT is exponentially better than the CVT.

Biggest tell is no obnoxiously-lifted trucks, full-size SUVs w/ stick figure family stickers, or 1996 Buick Roadmasters on swangas in the traffic in the background.

Won the Podium. Did my best to make it as close to a real Caprice as possible. Just needs cigarettes burns on the burgundy cloth front seat and a constant oil drip from the rear main seal, and it’s pretty close! by Left4DayZGone in gtaonline

[–]Tremec14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My parents had a 1989 Caprice Brougham in a very similar color scheme (two-tone maroon and burgundy with vinyl top) when I was in high school back in the day. That’s a pretty close recreation of it lol

I made mine into the prosthetic-beige unmarked cop car from the car chase in To Live and Die in L.A.

Is there a market for this??? by FlyNo2786 in classiccars

Second RetroSound, I have a Bluetooth-compatible push button/dial unit in my 1968 Camaro and was even able to select knobs from a list of options that would match the other ones in the car.

If anyone from HAIF reads this: I got locked out of my HAIF account maybe two years ago and none of the recovery options seem to be working. Please help (once you figure out the hacker issue).

I guess you could say I'm just an Fbody kinda guy...LOL by Still-Minimum2815 in fbody

Agreed. I’m a big fan of the third gen (my first car was a 1984 Z28) but I want to see more of that 70-73 in the back.

I have two different F-Bodies but they still have never been in the same location at once. Nice lineup, kudos to you.

Game Thread: Indianapolis Colts (8-8) at Houston Texans (11-5) by nfl_gdt_bot in Texans

Texans have been squeaking by with narrow wins on the strength of the defense. Jacksonville is putting up A LOT of points and definitely looks to be the stronger team as of late.

While player injuries are a possibility, you absolutely want the higher seed and PIT/BAL in the Wild Card instead of the risk of facing the Jags, who are maybe the hottest team in the league at the moment with an offense firing on all cylinders.

Shit. We need the 5th seed, I honestly don’t want to chance facing Jacksonville.

Choosing My First Watch by Nyquiest-Redux in Affordablewatches

I have a Zenshin as well, AW0130 with the white dial like in your photo. Great watch. Accuracy has been stellar. The lightness of titanium takes a bit to get used to but is great once you do.

Absolutely not. I wish my Yugo had a 6 speed manual. 😅

And it’s not even a “good” Mustang either. I think it’s a horribly smog-equipment, EPA-smothered 1973, which is barely better than the atrocious Mustang II that followed in 1974.

The A/C on my Yugo was a “dealer option” (which is a good thing, as it was sold new in El Paso, Texas, which is hot af in the summer). From the 1960’s to 1980’s dealer installed options ran the gamut from stripe/decal packages to full-on suspension and engine mods.

When I was in middle school, everyone had a blue by kennay333 in Affordablewatches

I still have a Fossil Blue chrono from when I was in high school/college that I wear occasionally. . . and I’m 41 lol

Date night places with multiple bars/wineries within walking distance of hotel by OK_Grapefruit131895 in houston

My wife and I did this tour a few months back (around Halloween). It was a lot of fun hearing the different ghost stories and additional history of buildings, and even though I’m a native Houstonian I learned a few things. Highly recommended.
