1. I have to turn the A/C off on my civic in order get up to speed on a highway ramp.

LOL! But I love that car. It's like 20 years old and still chugging along.

[petronius]

9. Ours too, a '96. Of course, that may be moot soon since the A/C seems

like it might be the next thing to go...

I'm pretty sentimental about it, after a lot of miles and adventures, but we're starting to think about our next Civic or Fit...

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Like My Car

Did i mention i would have to drop it from a 50 mile lunar orbit to hit that speed? (Wouldn't work on earth. Too much drag.)

[angstlessk]

3. So, where, exactly can one drive at 168 mph?

Inquisitive minds want to know!

4. The North Dallas Tollway works really good here in DFW

I've been up to 150 on it years ago on my bike...

others go faster

[QED]

5. I'm on my 4th Civic

I might have had mine up to 80mph once but mostly I drive like a little old lady at 70mph or so. I had my last one for 8 years, 95,000 miles. It needed about $3000 in work and I decided what the heck, get a new one. I don't like having a car payment but oh, those bun warmers!

6. Just thought I'd throw this in here: The Tesla Model X a 5-star safety rating in every category....

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration just awarded the Tesla Model X a 5-star safety rating in every category and subcategory after conducting the first independent crash test of the electric vehicle since its launch in 2015. Tesla was quick to trumpet the rating, noting the Model X was the first SUV to receive the federal government’s highest safety rating across the board.

Did I tell you that this is my dream car.......really any Tesla, but mostly this one now......5 star rating.

7. Safety ratings are overrated, This is what a dream car looks like

must have drag radials..

Passenger seat and back seat are options. Just a dollar a piece though

8. Wish they would make another proper sports car instead
