Up for sale is my 2000 Honda Insight. I have driven this car since 2004, and have put over 200k miles on the car since then. The odometer says 296xxx miles, but the car actually has somewhat more (50-60k) than that because I replaced the instrument cluster way back in 2005 or so. Nevertheless, the car currently runs and drives well enough to pass PA's rather stringent multipoint inspection just a few weeks ago, and the inspection is good until 10/14. As you can see in the pics, there is some cosmetic damage/scratches on various surfaces, nothing unusual for a car of this age. What you can't see are a few common issues with the Insight: the transmission grinds when downshifting into 2nd or first at anything above 18 or so mph for 2nd, 4 or so mph for first. In addition, I am not sure of the IMA battery condition - I am currently on battery #4, which I replaced a few months ago with a donor from a salvage yard. That battery had about 60k miles on it, but the IMA light came on recently and then went away by itself. I have driven a couple hundred miles since and have not seen the light come back, but I'm not sure of this battery's life expectancy.

The car was apparently in an accident before I purchased it in 04; some kind of collision with an animal I believe in the front. Under my use you can see the rear bumper slightly misaligned because of a low speed impact with a basketball hoop post, but that's it for accidents. The interior shows wear in terms of plastic scratches and some staining on the carpet, but the seats have no holes, and I the car has never been smoked in. As you can imagine I have done regular maintenance to the car to keep it going this long, always doing oil changes with Mobil 1 0w20 when the maintenance light appears. The car also has a new 12v battery, new front brakes, and an aftermarket stereo with 4 speakers. A/c has worked fine for the car's entire life. Power windows work fine; passenger power door lock works sporadically. Lifetime fuel economy is 51.9 mpg. The tires were good enough to pass inspection, but are down to probably 30% or so of their tread. I am selling because I want a bigger car to handle my long commute; in the meantime I continue to drive this car about 150 miles a day, so the mileage will be higher accordingly when you come to see the car. Title is clear and lien-free. I am selling this car as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Deposit of $100 due upon purchase; balance due in cash within 7 days of purchase. Please contact me with questions.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Andretti Autosport switches to Honda power

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

The IndyCar grid was split pretty evenly this season between Honda and Chevy power. Thing is, most of the front-running teams have been running Chevrolet engines. Except for Chip Ganassi Racing, the team that fields the likes of Ryan Briscoe, Scott Fixon and Dario Franchitti - but earlier this month Chip Ganassi announced it was switching to Chevy engines too, just like most of the other pack-leading teams.
Honda insisted it didn't need a flagship team to replace Ganassi, but that's exactly what it announced this weekend with the signing of Andetti Autosport. The team run by Michael Andretti won a few IndyCar Series titles under Honda power (in 2004, 2005 and 2007), and two Indy 500 wins (in 2005 and 2007), but switched to the Bowtie two seasons ago, winning the championship last season. But the vast majority of the team's victories - 39 out of 48 race wins - have been powered by Honda, and the two outfits undoubtedly hope they'll return to the winner's circle again with their new multi-year partnership that takes effect next season.

Design Handbook explains the difference between design and styling

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

It's easy to confuse the terms 'design' and 'style,' but Jim Hall attempts to explain the difference between the two in his latest Design Handbook video column for Autoline. Before relating the terms to cars, Hall first uses other, non-automotive-related examples to prove his point, such as a well-designed glass versus a well-styled glass. Both do their job well as a result of good designs, he claims, but one stands out more because it also was styled.
When he relates his lesson to cars, he uses the 2013 Honda Accord and the new Chevrolet Impala as examples, but you'll have to watch the video below to find out which car he thinks is merely designed and which one has been styled.
We've also included a gallery of the Honda and a gallery of the Chevrolet so you can decide for yourself which one of these vehicles has been designed, and which one has been styled.
