..Seems he's one of the very few auto critics to actually like the design.

 

Extreme cold and freezing temperatures will do that to a critic!!!

Just kidding, I was born and raised in Chi-town, the weather is why I live in LA.

 

Ha and that is why I live in FT Lauderdale. I do miss Chicago from time to time though

 

LA would be nice right now, I'm tired of the cold.

 

Here you go:

Click on the 'control' button and you can move the camera yourself to pan across the view from the Sheraton Maui. Its a nice day here, if a little chilly this morning (there's a cold front moving through)

 

You really enjoy rubbing it in don't you, Colin?

 

Moi?! I am aghast that you are suggesting anything other that a truly altruistic effort on my part to spread the Aloha Spirit to those in the frozen north. Did you not see President Obama giving the 'shaka' sign during his inauguration parade? He too was spreading Aloha. Now, I am willing to try one more time out of the goodness of my heart...

 

I'm mesmerized by your altruistic posting.

Aloha!

 

I was in Maui 5 years ago......closest thing to "heaven on earth."



Mahalo, Colin!

 

 

I have to see that place before I die

 

Florida does not even hold a candle to where you live.

 

I have a timeshare in Kona, but haven't made it out there in a couple of years. its beautiful out there

 

added to the 4G garage

 

You mean he's one of the very few auto critics to actually appreciate the creativity .

Who can resist this beauty .

 

Ok one more from this evening... I even put a TL in the shot



I wish I had a small light to illuminate the car without washing out the sky. The flash was WAY too bright so this shot was without one.

 

very nice

 

From the article:
Am I missing something?? Where the hell is the coin slot? I was keeping my coins in the cell phone slot, but I got a little bucket thing that I'm not keeping in the center console. If there's a coin slot, someone PLEASE clue me in =)

 

It's kind of a generic review but I guess this is what caters to the average car buyer and not an enthusiast. Most cars would get average to good reviews in major newspaper reviews.

 

I think it's funny that the reviewer criticized the TL for having a ride height that is too low. I guess he was looking for a SUV and not an entry level sports sedan.

 

I kept the removable coin holder from my 3G I bet you could order one

 

I posted this elsewhere but I thought I'd put a note here too. Since Honda will officially end production of the S2000 after 2009, I have a short farewell video. I shot this footage back in 2005 when my wife and I both had our cars and since YouTube took my old video down (copywrite for the music), I've re-cut the video from it's original 2005 version. Hopefully YouTube will leave this one alone (The song is 30 years old).

For all you freezing on the mainland, enjoy a little Summer in Hawaii!

 

Nice video, sad about the S2000 but it's been 9 years of production so I wonder if it was customer demand or manufacturing tooling cost that drove the decision?

Hey at least us mainlander's get to use our seat warmers, rear defrosters, and mirror heaters trying to melt off the ice/snow

 

Awesome job on the video Colin!!

"Fox on the Run" was a perfect choice for that video.
All these pictures and Video's of Hawaii are making me really really hate the -25 degrees celsius here lately. Im glad next friday i'll be leaving this ice hole and landing there for my first time for a friends wedding.....it looks awesome .

Still trying to decide on going to the Pro-Bowl though....

I posted this under korean site. I got this 2009 base TL as a loaner while my car was in service. I really liked new TL..except the steering way too light and soft. OVER ALL GREAT CAR.

 

Hey thanks! When you're heading down Ala Moana Blvd on the way to Waikiki, you'll pass right by our store! Be sure to wave!

We're having a 'cold spell' for the last two days. Temps in the mid-60s have all the locals scurrying for jackets.... Things to do here: Pearl Harbor, Punchbowl, hike Diamond Head, snorkel Hanauma Bay, North Shore (try one of the shrimp shacks). Eat at Roys, 3660 on the Rise, Chai's, get a 'plate lunch' somewhere...
