The all-new 2012 Honda Civic sedan models received the highest safety rating of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, announced today.

Honda loyalists who long for a CR-Z with the hybrid internals removed and a K-Series engine swapped in have finally had their prayers answered by LHT Performance, a performance shop that was also one of the pioneers of the K-Series swap into the first generation Insight, which yielded an ultra light weight VTEC powered aluminum rocket.

Amanda Pogany’s 1996 Honda Accord was stolen from outside her Brooklyn apartment three years ago. When she called the police for help, they did little more than laugh. After all, the Accord is one of the top selling cars in America, and one of the most stolen to boot.

The last time we posted a “Coolest Thing You Will watch Today” video, it was of the Pagani Zonda. We’ll admit, a guy making sound effects through a plastic tube doesn’t quite have the same supercar appeal, but we bet you’ll watch this video of a guy making Honda VTEC sounds over and over – especially if you ever dreamed of dropping a B16 in your EF, or ripping tak in an S2000.
