Thinking Out Loud Again

Bear with me here, I’m about to go off on a weird and potentially very unpopular tangent here. Remember those clear hoods that were popular for a minute back when the first Fast&Furious came out?

Yea they’ve become one of those almost forgotten trends that just scream rice. But could they just have been a little before their time? In the last 2 years shaved, tucked engine bays often with beautifully painted contrasting paint work and valve covers have really gone mainstream, almost expected in some cases. Could this be an environment where a clear hood would make more sense? Is it one of those things that the right car at the the right time could pull off today? Have you even tried to find one of them lately?

Yes Please

Japanese Nostalgic hipped me to the fact that The Smithsonian has a 1977 Honda Civic in their collection. First car to ever meet the Clean Air Act requirements without a catalytic converter. The more you know!

The Warrior Code

Part of racing is taking the car right to the edge and then trying to go just a little bit beyond that edge, sometimes the results are glory, sometimes the results are some bent sheet metal. Westhill always pushes 110% . This is the second car I’ve heard of being wrecked with a Melissa sticker on it, I hope they’re not bad luck! Yoshitomo and crew will be coming back stronger than ever!

A Closer Look

at Bob Boileau’s ass kicking 1974 Civic 1200. Six SCCA national championships and clocked at 146.69 MPH on just 1200 CCs. This is another one of those cars that should never be restored.
