Talk about being in the hot seat! A member reports having his 2004 Honda Pilot car seat go up in flames after warming the car for a few minutes on a cold Chicago morning. The car was filled with smoke and a flame was visible...

I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey with the annoying sloshing in the gas tank.  Yes, when you back up with a 3/4 tank it's like driving with a giant fish bowl in the back - swish, slosh, swish, slosh.  Thank goodness I have screaming kids to drown (pardon the pun) out the noise. Now, I wasn't the first to hear the slosh.  Many other Honda owners heard it in their Honda's and you can even find Technical Service Bulletins on the Odyssey and other earlier model year Hondas (Pilots, MDX, etc.). So why 5 years later are Honda owners still experiencing this swish, slosh mosh?  Honda Pilot owners and members of the forums are reporting a sloshing sound coming from the gas tank...

One thing I noticed when I was driving other cars recently (Saturn Aura, Honda Civic Hybrid) is that their filters are not as good as the ones in my Volvo XC90. I keep the climate controls set to recirc all the time because I hate the smell of exhaust and I really hate when the car in front of me is being driven by a smoker and I can smell their cigarette smoke! The Volvo saves me from all of that...

I posted over on the Driving Woman blog about my overnight test drive of the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. Also, my baby is cute, right?

We had our all-company meeting at the LA Auto Show last week. After the meeting, we were able to wander the floor. I went with a dual purpose...
