Lyrical Silliness

All around the world cars crashing into me
Who knows how long I've driven you
Everywhere I go people smashing into me
Two years old my Prelude God rest her soul

I just want to drive

(Adapted from Sugar Ray's "Fly" in regards to my BRZ and two accidents and a cracked windshield so far)

Extended Test Drive, 2015 Toyota Corolla

I'll start this one very simply: this Corolla did not make me hate life like the 2013 I had as a rental and reviewed previously.
Was it as fun as the one I drove from age 16 to 19? No, I do not like this as much as I liked that 1995, but this one was much better than the 2013.

Starting with handling. I like to do a steering rack test. Basically I test the steering by starting from a stop and doing a left or right turn to see how many turns of the steering wheel are required, and another test at low speed, not from a stop.

Short Test Drive, 1996 Honda Accord

I was in Florida over the weekend, was down for memorial service for my grandmother and spreading her and my grandfather's (previously deceased) ashes in the Everglades. My cousin was down from Maine and borrowed this car from my uncle (his dad). So, I figured I would take it for a drive and write out my thoughts.
This is a 1996 Honda Accord DX. It is the fifth generation of the Accord.
