Santa Barbara, California, United States

 Rare, low mileage, late 1997 Honda del Sol with VTEC DOHC engine in excellent condition. Five-speed manual transmission. Targa top, stows in the trunk.

Own a sports car without the hassle of high repair bills!

I bought the car from its original owner @ 24,000 miles in 2003. It now has 88,000 miles on it. It is extremely unusual to find a Honda del Sol VTEC for sale with low miles, especially one in such good condition. To my knowledge, this car has never been in an accident, nor has it ever been driven outside the state of California. It has been meticulously maintained in full compliance with the Honda recommended maintenance schedule by Robert DiMauro in Goleta California.

CarFax shows "title updated" in 2012. That was to remove my ex-husband's name from the title. This car has had only two owners: the original purchaser (1997-2003), and myself (2003 to present).

Features:
* Cruise control
* Driver and passenger air bags
* Power windows
* Air conditioning
* New speakers
* Super cool "rear window" that goes up/down behind the seats
* Surprisingly spacious trunk for a sports car
* Added car alarm with kill switch
* Added 6 CD changer
* Newer tires

The car rides low to the ground, which makes it prone to getting "rock dings" on the front end. I had the front end re-painted last year for this reason. I have an OEM "bra" which I'll give to the successful buyer.

This car takes premium fuel only. Gas mileage is mid- to upper-20s or better per gallon, depending on how aggressively you drive it. Good luck with that ;-).

2014 Honda Grom motorcycle is a 125cc-shot of awesome [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013


My very first turn at the handlebars of a motorcycle came courtesy of an MSF Honda CB125. Despite the fact that it wore a very stern sticker on the tank warning all who rode that it was for instructional purposes only and not for legal sale, I wanted nothing more than to ride it past the cones of my license test and straight home. There was just something about the lightweight, low-power machine that just felt right. Now Honda is giving American buyers the chance to take home something similar. Meet the Grom. Yes, it's basically a sexed-up scooter, but that's fine by me.
There's a fuel-injected 125cc single pushing the fat-tired bike around, and a four-speed gearbox handles shifting duty.The smallish 12-inch wheels give the Grom a bit of a goofball appearance, but the handsome bodywork and gold forks help offset the look. Something tells me this joker is more fun than should be legal. Check out a fun video of the bike in action by scrolling down, and while you're there, you'll find a full press release on all of the new Honda powersports models, including the Grom. You can also head over to the Honda consumer site for more information. The bike will land in showrooms this August with an MSRP of $2,999.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.

Honda Performance Development reveals new ARX-04b LMP2 coupe

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Make no mistake about it: Honda is big in racing. It was the first Japanese automaker to enter Formula One, remains the most successful and is set to return as an engine supplier next season. It's powered more IndyCar race winners and champions than any other manufacturer, hands down. Honda has won races and titles in Super GT, WTCC, even motorcycle racing. Just about everything this side of NASCAR, really. And that includes endurance sports car racing.
In fact Honda Performance Development prototypes claimed over 70 victories and numerous titles in the American Le Mans Series, and took the first LMP2 title in the FIA World Endurance Championship. And with sportscar racing in the US now grouped together into the United SportsCar Championship, Honda is back with a new chassis design.
Called the ARX-04b, it's Honda's first closed-cockpit LMP2. Like previous LMP2 and IndyCar projects, it's a joint development between HPD and Wirth Research, and packs Honda's HR28TT engine - a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 based on (and using many of the same components as) the J35 engine you'd find in a contemporary Acura. Designed to exceed the latest safety regulations, the ARX-04b features low-drag bodywork, quick-change front and rear panels, the same locking fuel filler system that Honda pioneered for Indy, top-exit exhaust to meet noise regulations, a 75-liter fuel tank and a gearbox that can easily be optimized for individual circuits.
