Honda S I R



The year was 2006 when we got our first car it's an old japanese domestic ride they called Suzuki Carry. Anyway, I became an enthusiast thru that car searching parts and d i y (do it yourself) articles when I stumbled in a local honda club forum. From then on I got starstruck on the s i r, the famous honda model was last released on 2000 with a beastly B16 engine with a 160 hp at 7600 rpm not bad for a stock model huh? aside from that it is available in funky colors: passion orange, tafetta white to name a few. All you need to do is lower the car and put some nice rims with a low profile tire, that's just for me that's what I would do if I got one I like it simple that doesn't scream for so much attention. The resale value for a 11 year old car is not that bad, today it sells between 340k to 400k depending on the condition of the car ofcourse.

Sadly though that some honda owners start converting their vti to sir look so when your in the market for an sir you better have the knowledge how spot those fake from the OG but sir nowadays are overated there are so many cars to choose from. If I have a spare money though I'd get an sir in a heart beat, too bad I'm now beginning to grow on my toyota yaris heck an sir can't beat the yaris' fuel consumption but thats a different story...

Be defensive...




Today is just like any other usual day, picking up my kid in school then next travel for about 14.8 miles to pick my wife. A warm day and a less traffic with minimal reckless drivers, we went to jack in the box couple of blocks from her school to get something to eat. While traveling I was on the median lane and driving like a "granny" while munching the curly french fries from Jack in the box when suddenly a 1990 boxtype corolla sedan began to changed lane towards me, my front bumper were just centimeters away from his driver side door, trying to avoid being hit I even went on the oncoming traffic thanks to my quick reflexes we avoided an accident. After that the driver on the corolla just sped his way thru the traffic like nothing happened. Thanks to the curly fries it keeps me calm 'coz usually I would honk a horn and catch up and stare with an aggressive look on reckless drivers.

I've been pondering what that brainless person thinks?, it clearly states on the California drivers handbook when changing lanes, first is to signal, look on the rearview mirror, right side mirror then look over your shoulder, in short just another reckless driver out on the open road. I have encountered this kind of driver numerous times from a female or male driver, old or young. One thing that pisses me off is we don't get to use our horns in here, it's not that we are not allowed but more of a road courtesy. Using a horn can prevent accidents in many ways. When you don't use your horn it's like being courteous versus your ego. I don't mind having no road courtesy as long as I still have my pride and don't get involved in an accident with a broken ego besides it's such a hassle.

To avoid in this kind of situation you must always be a defensive driver anticipate the car in front and behind you know your move to avoid any accidents.

Remember this, you will always meet at the stop light no matter if he/she left you for a mile.

There's always a first time


I've read blogs and heard them a gazillion times before in fact one of my office mates before and a fellow gearhead encouraged me to start blogging. He said that it will earn me some money and I get some odd jobs (graphic design) here. Well if you ask why am I just starting now? Simple, I'm bored and I want to express my opinions on my everyday travel here in the U.S and some points of view, and oh not to mention I also want to earn money who doesn't want one nowadays. This blog will not contain some hard to comprehend words that you take your time searching at google, this will just compose of some "layman's term" words. Plain and simple! I'm not trying to impress anyone here. So, that's it for some introduction.
