Race cars built for 500 bucks and thrashed on a tough endurance course for hour after hour tend to develop a few problems. OK, they develop many problems! At this race, we've seen some normally bulletproof machines fall apart, while the Italian contingent (four Alfa Romeos and a Fiat) have proven completely trouble-free. The failure of a tiny hose in the Paraguayan Mercedes-Benz S600 knocked the car...
Yes, one of our favorite Index Of Effluency contenders went into the dirt and flipped over yesterday afternoon. That's the bad news. The good news is that the driver of the Killer Bee MGB wasn't hurt. Well, he wasn't hurt in the wreck , that is; his teammates (including 5-time DOTS honoree WhatWouldJesseDo ) might end up inflicting some bodily harm due to unhappiness over the self-inflicted PIT Maneuver...
Many cars have been sidelined by the usual mechanical problems, but some have just kept on going around and around and around. With the first session of racing over, we've got three Germans and two Japanese in the top five. At this point, the #5 car sits just two laps behind the #1 car; in fact, a mere 10 laps separates the 20th-place car from the leader. We expect to see some reshuffling of these...

Cato: Honda has exceedingly modest expectations for the Crosstour: annual sales of about 3,000 for a car that amounts to a tall station wagon with a long list of standard, upscale features and a V-6 engine. Honda might feel bolder if the Crosstour came with a four-cylinder and if Honda had not been beaten to [...]
In the Toyota Prius vs Honda Insight hybrid battle of sales in Japan, it is the Prius which continues to rule. In October, the Prius was Japan's number one selling car for the sixth consecutive month. Toyota's third-generation model put 26,918 units on the board, while the Insight was down in ninth place with 7,074 units. The Insight , the first hybrid to top Japan's sales charts this April, is also...
There were moments during my recent Thailand golf trip that I had to remind myself that it’s the United States that is supposed to be the developed, happy, first world nation. This was especially true flying from Bangkok to Los Angeles. Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport, like most of Asia’s airports (you don’t know how bad you have it in 90% of America’s airports until you...
You've seen the Angry Hamster Racing V65 Magna-powered Honda Z600 under construction, and of course you're familiar with the LeMons-winning CBR900-powered Geo Metro-Gnome … but the engineering behind these two machines pushes the LeMons Insane-O-Meter™ into the red numbers. I could go on and on about the 200-proof, clear-quill engineering geekery that went into the Angry Hamster Z600-...
I’m driving East out of San Francisco on I-80, fleeing my life under the cover of dusk. Having come to the interstate by a circuitous route, full of quick turns and double backs, I’m reasonably sure that no one is following me. I keep checking the rearview mirror anyway. From this point on, there’s no such thing as sure. Being too sure will get me caught. I had intended to flee in...

Due to a change in the rules of Japan’s Super GT racing series, plans for a front-engined replacement for the Honda NSX supercar could be revived. Honda ’s front-engined, rear-drive supercar project became a casualty at the end of 2008 as Honda suffered under the economic crisis.
The Toyota Prius may continue to beat the Honda Insight in terms of hybrid sales but Honda says that it still has much to be pleased about. Last October, the Prius was the top seller in Japan for the sixth straight month with sales of 26,918 units for its third-generation model.
