The Original Honda Civic looks like This

The Civic debuted in 1973, and looked like this.

Huge difference 30 years makes eh.

56 hp and 138 km/h

Wrote a column about all the differences between the Civic then & now, original post here.

For a barometer, here’s the current Civic.

First Track Day of 2015 COMPLETE

Yes I’m yelling, it was that good.

Let’s just lead with the highlight – learning to J-hook:

Executed it well twice like, there was clapping. Have interior & exterior footage.

Thanks to BF Goodrich Tires for kicking off KeriBlog.com’s 2015 Track Season to an excellent start!

For sure the j-hook gets its own post, and I learned a lot about tire technology too (which further backs up my viewpoint – don’t cheap out on the ONLY part of your car that touches the road.)

For now, here’s a couple shots from today TTYT

 

 

 

For my 1st Track Day, I’ve Chosen this Outfit

Track day bro track day, first of the year!  I’m off to a tire testing event with BF Goodrich, held at Mosport track too, not a parking lot niiiice.

Drowning in deadlines this week already guys, today was a grind, bet I wrote 2,500 words. One of which is my IIHS Crash Test Facility article while will publish later this week. I have to go make its photo gallery now, it’s almost 9pm, and then I have to work on my taxes. Trying to say, here’s some advance notice that tomorrow’s update will likely be light again, I’m sorry I’m so busy!

What a kicker too, because all I want to do is drive aimlessly around in this weeks car, which is manual too, look:

Posts coming soon include:

– I downloaded the Buick Regal
– downtown traffic in a Ford Expedition
– what is metadata and why care about it
– finally updated my Autonet About page
– check out my completed sewing projects
– inside the IIHS
– my week with a Land Rover LR4
– hello I’m in the bayou

Also, about a new car shopping app called Carmigo – here’s the site.

Short answer – using an app, a Canadian company has redesigned the car-shopping approach. It’s just coming out of beta testing, designed for Canadians, and when have I ever blogged about an app? Exactly, nope, it’s that slick.

kk off into the land of photo-gallery-making, TTYT

 

 

Some Car Carnage to Tide you Over

What an unbelievable experience. A 28 hour whirlwind. A tour into a once-in-a-lifetime place then boom, I’m back to familiarly, hi hi from jogging pants and the couch.

It was … difficult to put into words. My head is stuffed with information, and I feel a bit overstimulated to be honest. I’ve been sitting here typing furiously for a few hours, trying to document everything I just inhaled before it starts fading… drafted a post, coming soon.

But first it’s deadline day tomorrow, unpack, then zone out and surf garbage on the internet for a minute.

I’ll leave you with a few photos from my phone, but there’s a massive amount of amazing ones on my big camera oh ya guys, HD carnage ahoy. TTYT

Windshield.

Rated “poor.”

“That’ll buff right out” jokes are not funny.

Weird to see a tire at that angle eh.

The word “violent” is used often to describe this stuff, because it is.
