what you mean you know exactly what Harbin is like?
Now it is probably better, but during my time there, -30C is like the average temp during winter and -40C is not all that uncommon.

Why did they leave the RLX with upgraded tires out of that picture?
09-24-2015, 02:31 PM
Team Owner
Because it is in a league of its own in terms of performance.
just as you would not put a P1 and a Civic Si in the same picture.

Speaking of upgraded tires saw a mighty RLX today. The way it crawled in bumper to bumper traffic, you can tell there's a giant VTEC beast ready to kill any exotics once it's force of death is unleashed with better rubbers.

I spotted this modified 3G TL on the freeway yesterday. It still looks so sexy after so many years.
I think I wouldn't mind getting a used 3G TL-S for cheap and DD it.

Well my pops finally made his decision. He liked this color too much over the black one to matter about the other options. He picks it up Wednesday.
I unfortunately won't make it back home to see it till a month from now.

After driving the Huracan, a lot of the reviews of other similar or somewhat similar modern exotics make sense - the experience is very clinical, there is no drama, there is no indication that the car will ever bite back at you - the car is docile at slow speed, super easy to drive. Give it some gas and the confidence remains, with all of the over-engineered systems working in harmony to provide as little drama as possible.

I've seen only two or three so far on the road. Looked incredible.

Just saw my first 2016 Honda accord. It was the sport model in white. The car looked gorgeous. The front grill looked great in person. The rear end had LED lighting. In addition the duel exhaust tip on the rear bumper look like it had an extra valence which was more pronounced.
Wheels also looked bigger with great offset for OEM.
Overall I would say that the design looks much sharper and cleaner

Flippy23 confirmed my suspicion that they're 19x7.5 et55.
So bigger yes, but still the same sad ol' Honda offsets.
I was *really* hoping they'd be 18s, maybe 8" wide, and a bit less offset. If they were I'd already have a set on the way to the house.
But no. Because Honda.

In the pictures, the gap looks *better*. But just looking at the rear in the photo I posted above and you can sort of tell that it's still got the ridiculous amount of sink-in still. Front's look similar to me as well.
