Irritating Drivers

Some people on the road today really should get a sense of what you should do while on the road. On a recent survey, Americans voted that texters are the most annoying people driving. I completely agree. Seriously, people should really be looking at the road while driving, not your phone's screen. I really wouldn't want to get in an accident just because somebody decided that his/her conversation with a friend was more important than his/her own life, not to mention other people's.

Then there are the traffic jams. Most of the time, it's because there's simply too many cars. In certain cases, however, people slow down too look at an accident on the other side of the road. It's really frustrating. Satisfying your curiosity doesn't justify having to back up the entire highway.

Another thing I really dislike is when people drive huge-butt trucks and take up space in a parking space at the supermarket, leaving no space for anyone else to park in the spaces surrounding it. I mean, really, do you need a F-250 to make a run to the mall? It's especially true in Texas, where people drive giant SUVs and pickup trucks just to look "cool". Not only are they not necessary, they also eat up tons of gas, and spew out more carbon dioxide than they need to.

I would like to elaborate more, but unfortunately that is all the time I have tonight. Thanks for reading!

2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L Review

These pictures aren't of the actual vehicle, but the colors and trim level are correct. Those of you who have been following this blog since its inception know that my parents have two cars: a 2006 Nissan Sentra and a 2005 Mazda MPV. Well, we recently swapped our dear little MPV for a 2003 Odyssey. The reason for that is, well, there isn't much reason. It's mostly to spice things up in our lives and have a different car for a change without spending any extra money. Our Odyssey came with every bell and whistle you could get in a minivan in 2003, including a factory-installed DVD entertainment system, leather seats, heated seats in the front, and dual power sliding doors. First impressions were a mixed bag. The engine was very smooth, quiet, and powerful, apparently typical of Hondas, but there was a rough patch between 1000 and 1500 RPM or so. You can't feel the road textures at all while driving the car, but it crashed loudly over larger bumps. Loud can als

2015 Honda Accord LX Sedan Long Term Update

Hey readers! It's been a long time since I've posted on this blog. In fact, it's been more than half a year. I'm really sorry to the negative three people who read this blog regularly, but here is a new post! School is finally winding down, so I thought that I'd review the new Accord my family bought last September and give an update on how it's doing. In the highly-competitive, yet stagnating, field of midsize family sedans, the Accord has reigned as the best or second-best seller for many years. After a controversial eighth generation that ran from 2008 to 2012, the ninth generation is considered Honda's comeback to producing quality products.

Big News: We Bought a New Car!

It is an exciting day for me! As the title says, my family bought a new car! We haven't done that since 10 years ago when we bought our 2006 Nissan Sentra. There it is, parked on the driveway right after we drove home from the dealership. Isn't the color so nice? The interior is beige, too! It's the perfect color combination. Getting that car to be on our driveway, though, was a laborious and drawn-out task. We started car-shopping yesterday morning, when my dad and I test drove the Camry and Accord. At first, we headed for the Ford dealer intending to test drive the Taurus and Fusion, but it shunned us by saying that it was "too busy for test drives." There were maybe two other people at the dealership then. Whatever. We then headed to a semi-rural Honda dealership in search of an Accord. I was expecting it to be loud and firm-riding in traditional Honda fashion. Instead, it impressed me with its solidity. Unfortunately, the specific Accord we test
