I don't see how people can pull the hand brake and drift, when my handbrake barely stops the car when its rolling. You could probably get your e-brake adj...

Between this, MediaPlayerClassic, and a scant selection of other components, I almost never have a video that won't play.

If all 4 wheels can drive the car, then it is, for all intensive purposes , AWD. (emphasis added by me) Whoa, I read over this and didn't notice anything earlier but, upon rereading what you posted, I had to tell you this. I'm 100% certain that you meant to say "for all intents and purposes.&q...

Family's '06 Accord beeps when moving with the e-brake even partially up. I wouldn't doubt that Honda is just one of many manufacturers now implementing this warning signal in their cars.
