For someone like me who is always jacking something up for some reason, my driveway is just a total PITA. I always have to pull a car out so I can get into the garage with the truck.
I think my next house will have concrete in front of the garage, deep enough for a car. It can be pavement the rest of the way.

way to go Honda

http://www.vtec.net/..._item_id=984731

Talked to the GM of an Acura dealership today in Canada and he said that he saw a clay model of the new beast two weeks ago at some summit.... <BR itxtNodeId="46"><BR itxtNodeId="45">Notes: It's big and Ugly - No where near the size of a civic, using a slightly upscale tuned 2.4 (they were told around 210hp) <BR itxtNodeId="44">
So the "Lexus IS" / 3-Series challenger will have 210 HP. Bravo!!

HOLY CRAP
This is the Ecoboost in the F-150

EcoBoost whips up a satisfactory 365 hp and 420 lb-ft on regular unleaded.
