The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies)

So just for sh!ts and giggles, I test drove a new Acura Integra Type S. It's been a while since I have been in the driver's seat of a Honda, but this thing MOVES and is fun to drive! But, as with all modern cars, too much technology/electronics IMO.

Yea, it seems like they're all putting wheels on a phone. When I was researching cars for my wife the biggest knock on the Mazda we got was there was no "touchscreen".

They didnt care about the rock solid reliability, a non turbo 4 banger and a REAL 6 speed auto ransmission. It was all about the size of the cup holders and no touchscreen.

Oh, and the $500 navigation system the dealer wanted push on me turns out to be a SIM Card I got off Amazon for $35. Works like a charm.

This is one of the biggest reasons I am holding onto my Z. It seems like the 370Z's are the last to where it's lesser with the electronic components (compared to today's standards), a NA V6, and more of a driver's car vs a computer doing everything for me. I also don't like how all auto manufacturers are going from NA V8's to V6 turbo, NA V6's to I4 turbo, etc.

Washed the cars and slapped a double coat of NuFinish 3-in1. Even using a very small amount on a damp towel, this stuff dries fast and requires alot more effort to wipe off than traditional wax.
