Snowy Drive in Maine in my 2023 Honda Civic Type R. This may not have been its intended purpose but it doesn't skip a beat on the Blizak WS90 snow tires.

Honestly, him removing the snow from the car at the beggining of the video by hand was very satisfying, i've never seen snow in my life so this is something extremely unusual for me.

Honda technician here. 20:24 We have had issues with the infotainment system for the 9th, 10th, and 11th generations of Civic’s. Usually it’s a software issue. Takes a battery reset (remove both battery cables and let sit for a few minutes) to fix it most of the time. I’ve even had issues with my own 10th gen Civic.

@alienc3 6 ай бұрын

We had the infotainment system replaced twice on our 2022 Si, it didn't work at all would not connect the phone at all even after a battery reset. It still does the won't connect thing on occasion, in our case if you delete your phone and add it again that fixes it for us. At least I know it's a common issue and I don't need to go back in and get a 4th infotainment system installed.

Running Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 Studded on my Lifted BRZ (295/60r16). I agree, the low weight is a huge benefit and allows me to easily slow the car down on steep mountain passes. My weight distribution is 53/47 front/rear, so 120lbs of sand & other gear in the trunk has done wonders for traction.

Great advice about finding a quite deserted area to test your car's and your abilities in the snow/ice. I did that with my 17 year old last week here in Texas. It is possible she will not drive on something like this for several years so I wanted her first experience to be with me. Took her to a parking lot, turned off traction control, and told her to have fun. Took her a minute, but she told me later it was a blast and she actually could feel how the car and the tires were performing when she did things differently. Then we turned the traction control back on so she could see how much it helps. It's a lot! At least in our car. Us East Texas folks do not see this stuff often, we must practice when we do. Congratulations on your niece as well, fun times!

Love these therapy drives, even if this was not a fully-fledged therapy drive it's still nice to see from time to time. idk about other viewers but i really enjoy these (found myself rewatching even old SI drives in the rain and such). I have a question: does the water temp never go to the middle in conditions like these? because you surely drove for more than half an hour and i think that's more than enough time for a 2 liter to get up to temp, but it seems just a line below it and it made me curious. EDIT: went through some older videos and it seems like it's always like this. idk how it looks in real life but at least on camera it feels like it's a line below the middle haha

This was great to watch. I do really enjoy snow driving. Where I live in the Midwest I doesn't snow super heavily but when it does, it's fun to drive in. I used to own a WRX and had a set of snow tires and that was some of the most enjoyable snow driving I've ever done. I made an effort to practice snow driving since I had no experience prior (grew up in Florida), and once I got the hang of it I felt totally confident with snow tires on. I don't own the WRX anymore, but I do have a Montero 4x4 and that most certainly gets the job done in any snow we get here, it's just not as fun as the WRX was.

I have my GR86 on Blizzak WS90s with taller sidewalls than stock to increase ground clearance about 3/4 in. Throws off the speedo a little, but it's like 5 mph low at 70 (so real speed of about 75), so it's a non-issue. With the standard LSD, it's a blast and so predictable and easy to control with nannies off. I've used Blizzaks for years and the '90s seem like the best ones yet. I used to use left-foot braking with FWD because the parking brake cable would get stretched and, while not as good for goofy sliding fun, I could dance the thing down curvy roads. Don't know if they even let you do that anymore as I know at least some cars have throttle override when the brake is applied at the same time (thanks to morons in Priuses who hit the wrong pedals).

I have an interest in cars, but I don't even have a license nor can I drive a car, i'm 18 but my non existent self confidence stops me from fucking developing forward in life. Anyhow, in the midst of my desire to disappear from this world, your videos bring me a sense of peace. There's something about your personality and knowledge about life that makes me happy and brings me comfort. Thanks for that, I guess. I could watch all of your videos over and over again every single night. Especially your therapy drive videos.

Give it time! Embrace opportunities even if they seem uncomfortable. I appreciate this message so much.

Marketing leads us to believe a lot about brand reputation. I still believe Toyota products are above most in terms of reliability but it doesn’t mean there can’t be issues on some cars here and there.

hey, i have an eSprinter work van, with ebrake button. we had tons of snow for my area in last couple of weeks, and i find out that if u press and hold ebrake button it will work just like a regular ebrake until u release the button. still can manage to have a little fun at the parking lot
