much faker

He's looking right at where he's swinging and pre-flinching like someone about to hit themselves, it was schtick for comedy or he knew it was a bad idea and that he was going to hit himself but did it anyway. I'm honestly not sure which is worse, hitting himself for the lulz or hitting himself because he's stupid.

 

If it's because he's stupid then lesson learned hopefully. If it's for comedy then meh I hate that staged stuff.

Does anyone here own a car that has the dreaded Triangle of Doom? 

 

 

If they drove on the correct side of the road and the correct side of the car then that wouldn't be a problem. The wipers would wipe the other way and the longer blade could be fitted to the driver side leaving the passenger side with a shorter blade and a slight dribble now and then. When 99% of the world drives on one side of the road so you need to hodge podge your cars to work on the other side compromises happen. I've seen some wonky stuff with cars built in Japan for American export, like the brake master on the other side of the car connected by a big steel torsion rod from the brake pedal.

I’m honestly not surprised by it at all, jay is a provider of entertainment and I think he defines that pretty well. He just tries to make people laugh with his content. 
 

sure that’s fake, but it’s funny. Ppl do fake stuff all the time for entertainment. I don’t think it needs to be taken beyond face value

Your equation fails to acknowledge that its a dead blow hammer. Its really .13333 repeating of course seconds. Get your shit right before you spew nonsense on my highly technical thread on automotive enthusiasm on a tech forum.

I did a very quick wash, I'll do a proper wash ones it passes inspection.

 

 

The paint is in need of a polish and waxing, the color on this 9-5 is a little odd one, it's a green color that was only used on 2006 models.

Pre-flinching......

 

I guess you'd know the difference since you're trained with hurting yourself so often.

Correct, it's actually part of the ASE certification process. You have to have several years of hands on experience trying to take your hands off one digit at a time.

That's not entirely true, LHD Chevrolet Corvair's have a Triangle of Doom.

The Peugeot 404 really is a wonderful car...

Basically this, the design doesn't look that great.

I beg to differ...I think it's it's one of the best looking Honda ever...

The hatchback of the same generation looks way nicer, especially the rear. This coupe just doesn't look nice at all, it looks like they've tried to combine the basic Civic shape into an Audi TT but done horrible job of it.

Whatever floats your boat I guess....I think the sedan and hatchbacks doesn't look nearly as good or sporty as the coupe does...and many ppl think that too around here...

It looks like they've tried too hard to make it look intresting but falls flat on its face. Generally my intrest in Civic's end around the 7th gen.

You've seen this model IRL or only in pics? Maybe the pictures I took doesn't make it justice? Cause really I don't get you most people I talk too find this car to be very good looking...also, your comments are a bit mean and I must admit they kind of hurt to read...but hey it's fine I guess.

I'm going to disagree, honda like most car makers screwed up styling around 2013

Only the hatchback is sold here in the UK. You also have to understand that I have a strange taste of cars, maybe HubNut has got something to do with that

Yeah looking at the pictures I can see why you would think it doesn't look too great...but in real it's not like in picture the proportions are really good and honestly I always liked the look of it even before I got mine.
