What can I say about Jane Honda? She’s been my stalwart companion for the past 7 years.

I purchased Jane in 2006, at which point she had only 62,500 miles. The previous owner had, in fact, been the quintessential “little old lady that only drove it on Sundays.” I bought it from the woman’s son who couldn’t keep it because he worked for a Ford dealer in Kansas City.

Since then, I’ve put almost 165,000 miles on her, mostly on the highways in and around the Kansas City, KS, and, more recently, Houston, TX, areas. The bulk of these were racked up between 2008 and 2012 when I worked as a same-day delivery courier for a pharmacy in Lawrence, KS, making runs to Kansas City (~100 miles roundtrip) and driving an average of about 35,000 miles per year.

Because that was my livelihood at the time, I was obsessive about maintenance, getting the oil changed at the dealership every 5,000 miles or so.

Maintenance history:

The following is the maintenance history for which I have records – there are a few gaps (in 2007-2008, 2010-2011, and 2012).

·         Clarion FB275BT Bluetooth stereo head unit installed in 2008 and still working great for connecting mp3 players via the aux input jack and iPhones, etc, via Bluetooth. This head unit does NOT have a CD player.

Jane Honda still serves as my daily commuter, runs great, and doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Since replacing the head cover gasket, even the slight seep around the head cover has ceased. But I need a newer car with four doors for my work, and I don’t have a garage where I can keep Jane as a backup.

For someone with reasonable equipment and inclination to work on her, Jane’s still got a lot of life left in her. I could easily imagine someone getting 400k+ miles out of her if the maintenance is kept up.

Transaction details:

Jane is being sold AS IS, without warranty of any kind. The current Kansas title includes a bill of sale on the back that will be signed over to the buyer upon receipt of payment. From there, you can proceed with registration.

I’ll be sorry to part ways with her, but glad to see her go to a good home.

Thanks for looking.

Petition to bring Honda Civic Type R to US picking up steam

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Never mind what the executives say - we've had a sneaking suspicion all along that the upcoming Honda Civic Type R won't be coming to North America. And with good reason: both the prototype we drove in Japan and the concept unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week were based on the European-spec Civic hatchback - not to mention that some of the best hot hatches remain out of our reach.
Well it turns out we're not the only ones with that concern. There are legions of Honda hot hatch enthusiasts right here in the good old U S of A who want to see the new Civic Type R ripping up the Great American Road. And many of them are taking to the cyberclouds demanding that Honda bring it Stateside, post haste.
As of the time of writing, this online petition has gotten over 6,000 digital signatures, needing less than 1,500 more to get to the author's target of 7,500 votes. Of course, if and when the petition reaches its target, that still won't mean that Honda will bring it over, but it could mean that extra bit of encouragement the Japanese automaker's executives would need to tip the scales in our favor.

Zipcar, Honda announce OneWay carsharing with 2015 Fit

Fri, May 2 2014

Zipcar has been around for over a dozen years, and now shares more than 10,000 cars on a short-term basis with 850,000 members around the world. But there's been one thing missing from the carsharing giant's quiver of options: the one-way rental. That changes today. For a select few in Boston, anyway. OneWay's Boston launch is so soft that Zipcar says it's not even sure how much it will charge. Zipcar has announced a new one-way carsharing option called (annoyingly) ONE>WAY. This new program soft launches in Boston today, and it's so soft that Zipcar says it's not even sure how much it will charge drivers who use the new service. What we do know is that OneWay exclusively uses the 2015 Honda Fit and will allow drivers to rent by the half hour as they pick up and drop off in two different locations. The standard Zipcar model requires the cars to be brought back to the original location and has a one-hour minimum. At least one membership fee will cover both standard Zipcar and Zipcar OneWay. The introduction of shorter-term, one-way rental may sound a bit like Car2go, the successful carsharing program started by Daimler. Zipcar representatives told AutoblogGreen that it did develop OneWay in response to member demand and that there are two main differences between the two carsharing services. First, since OneWay still uses the traditional reserved-for-Zipcar parking spot method (new ones will be established for OneWay), there will always be a guaranteed space when you arrive at your destination. Second, the Fit has a lot roomier than the Smart ForTwo used by Car2go. To see this point in action, check out the four happy hipsters in Zipcar's new ad for OneWay below. There are currently other Fits in Zipcar fleets in other cities, but the specially branded vehicles in the Boston trial program will need to be used with the OneWay vehicles. That means, for now at least, that users will specify a pick-up and drop-off location before renting the vehicle, said Kaye Ceille, the president of Zipcar. The 30-minute minimum might also someday be changed, depending on user feedback. There's a lot up in the air right now, but Zipcar did say that despite the fact that OneWay is intended for short trips and has reserved parking, the Fit EV will not be involved. That car simply doesn't offer the cargo flexibility that the standard Fit does and some of the reserved parking spots will be on the street, where putting in a charging station isn't feasible.

Honda will build 2014 Accord Hybrid in Ohio

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Honda has announced that it will invest $23 million in its Marysville, Ohio facility to support production of the upcoming 2014 Accord Hybrid sedan. According to the manufacturer, this means approximately 50 new jobs will be created, and the whole investment will result in a 95,000-square-foot expansion of the Marysville plant.
The Accord Hybrid joins the decidedly homely Accord PHEV (pictured) this fall, using a 2.0-liter i-VTEC Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine mated to a 124-kilowatt electric motor. Honda has yet to release official power or fuel economy figures for the non-plug-in hybrid version of the Accord.
Honda currently operates four manufacturing facilities in Ohio, with the combined capacity to build up to 700,000 cars and light trucks each year. The Japanese automaker also has a facility in Greensburg, Indiana, where the Civic Hybrid and Acura ILX Hybrid are built.
