2025 Honda Type R New Colors

Have you heard the latest news from Honda? They are planning to achieve Level 4 autonomy by 2025! This is a huge step for the automotive industry and a testament to Honda’s commitment to innovation and advancement. Autonomy at Level 4 For those who may not be familiar, Level 4 autonomy means that a vehicle is capable of driving itself without the need for any human intervention. While certain…

Article on the Honda Z Kei car. Mid engined AWD with viscous centre diff Kei class RV. Available in turbo and Na versions. Unfortunately only autos. No manual option. I was looking at importing one of these before I bought my RD1 CRV locally.

This is what "underwater goggles" have become

TURBO is back!!! Eccentric light Honda Z midship 4WD appear

100mm in overall length, 80mm in overall width. There is no doubt that these few figures not only improve safety but also bring new possibilities to minicars! (referring to changes to Kei car regs) There is something about the style of the Honda Z, a big name in minicars that has been revived after a long time, that really makes you feel that way.

The Z is different from RVs such as the Wagon R and Move, and from the orthodox style of the Alto and Mira.

The car's style evokes both the outdoors and the city, and the straight accent lines on the sides of the body give it a powerful feel that is not typical of a compact car.

With a total length of 3,395 mm and a total width of 1,475 mm, it is within the new minicar framework. The 1,675 mm tallboy is in the style of the Honda Z. The 175/80R15 tires are large for a kei size, and the way they stand out at the four corners gives the design a charming look.

As the manufacturer calls it a "small super mover," the key point is that even with this small body, it still provides ample room. The Honda Z uses an "underfloor midship" floor, which means the 660cc engine is mounted under the rear seat! This achieves an ideal 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution ratio.

At the same time, it is also practical, being able to comfortably accommodate four adults.

Furthermore, this is driven by a viscous coupling type 4WD, giving the vehicle high off-road capability despite its small size.

The Honda Z is full of unique ideas that are so Honda-like.

But that's not the only surprise.

Turbo

This time, there are two types of engines available for the Honda Z. A NA unit with SOHC 12 valves that produces 52ps/6.1 kgm and a turbo unit that produces 64ps/9.5 kgm. Hmm? Turbo? Yes, this is the first turbo since the wing turbo used in the Legend.

It has been resurrected!

"The combination of a midship turbo and 4WD is the same as that of the Lamborghini Diablo! When you hear that, you might imagine an incredible ride, but the Honda Z's driving is practical. Of course, the turbo can be transformed into a light and fast car if you want to, but it's not a super sharp machine. Rather, it's a car that everyone can enjoy, offering a pleasant ride as it turns smoothly into corners.

It's a fun setting.

There is no doubt that this car will be the perfect city commuter car, as it runs smoothly around town. The interior is also much more high-quality than previous light cars. Compared to its big brother, the Capa, the quality of the equipment is more than satisfactory for this class.

The rear seats can be flipped up to create a flat floor. It has excellent carrying capacity for large luggage. Even though the engine is under the rear seats, the occupants are extremely comfortable. It can be used as a city commuter.

Whether you use it as a road bike or an off-road vehicle is up to your preference. By installing the wide range of optional parts available, you can create a more unique and fun Honda Z.

Body colors are silver, orange, black, green, blue, white.The only thing that's unfortunate is that the seat color is one color.

Well, you're doing a great job.

A variety of safe and fun unique light vehicles are available.

So, small cars are becoming more and more convenient.

It's getting better!

The Honda Z is really small!

When you see the Honda Z in person, it has an impressive body, but when you take it out on the city, its size really makes you feel the maneuverability that only a light car can offer.

I compared it with another Honda compact car, the Capa, and the difference in size was obvious. The difference in width was particularly large, with the Honda Z being noticeably smaller.

By comparison, the Honda Z size is 38mm shorter in overall length, 70mm shorter in overall width, and 25mm taller.

The minimum turning radius of the Capa is 4.8m, while that of the Honda Z is 4.6m, which is quite small. This is an excellent figure considering that both the Capa and the Honda Z have a wheelbase of 2360mm.

PIC CAPTIONS

The tallboy style makes it stand out with its individuality

The minimum ground clearance is 195mm, making it suitable for full-scale off-road use, and the side air intakes show off the midship.

Large multi-reflector light gives it a charming look

The minimum turning radius is 4.6m, making it easy to handle in urban areas. Rear visibility is also good, making it a good entry-level car.

As it is a brand new minicar, the price is of course a concern, but due to the fierce negotiations between the manufacturers, Honda has not yet officially announced the price as of October 1st. We hope that the information will be made available to many users as soon as possible...

There are two types of engines: naturally aspirated and turbocharged. The engine is revealed when you flip up the rear seats and open the lid under the interior material. The dashboard is simple, but functional and easy to use. Navigation is an optional feature.

The rear seats are thin but can comfortably accommodate two adults. The seats can be flipped up forward to create a completely flat luggage space.

The Jeep has been my dream car for years now. But this one isn’t the color I’ve always hoped for (red or blue), but it does have some features that the Mercedes doesn’t have and it’s a 4x4. Compared to the Mercedes which is a beautiful blue color and looks gorgeous inside but it’s rear-wheel drive and doesn’t have a couple features that the Jeep has.

My goal for a new car was: bigger, faster, cooler than my current car (a Honda CRV) because I want it to feel like I’ve earned that role as a doctor. Both cars are faster than my current car. The Jeep is bigger. The Mercedes is cooler. So which one should I choose?

At 25 years old, Anderson Clayton could pass for a college student. The North Carolina Democratic Party chair’s persona is reinforced by the bag slung over the shoulder, her colorful overalls and bright yellow Croc sandals, the half-consumed Venti iced coffee in her hand, and the youthful southern drawl with which she speaks.

But she’s not a student. She’s the linchpin for Democrats winning over her state. And a lot of pressure is now falling on her after she ousted a 73-year-old-incumbent with the backing of a number of top state Democrats earlier this year.

There are a lot of unknowns, too: Whether the vigor she brings to the job is enough to overcome her lack of experience for it; whether the national fascination in her as the youngest chair in the country will be justified. It’s not just reporters who have taken notice. Biden campaign officials speak of her as a rising Democratic star.

Clayton has a theory for how to get North Carolina — which Joe Biden lost to Donald Trump in 2020 by just 1.4 percentage points — to turn blue. She wants to tap into colleges and universities in North Carolina, and she wants a presence felt in even the reddest, most rural parts of the Tar Heel state, with a personal goal of visiting all 100 counties by the end of the year. She obsessively points to the same stat over and over again: In 2022, Democrats lost 44 state legislative seats to Republicans without putting a candidate on the ballot. She vows it won’t happen again.

“I was just in Brunswick County — which is one of the reddest counties in the state that we got — and a guy named Charles Jones, who’s a Black union member, looked at me and said, ‘I’m running for office because I heard you on the radio,’” Clayton says in an interview. “It is working. Just telling people what happened last cycle and saying, ‘We’re not taking it anymore,’ is a battle cry.”

[...] As for the formula to achieve her theory, well that, in part, goes back to Clayton herself. She believes she can outwork the competition.

[...] She spends much of her week similarly in motion: Driving her dented Honda CRV from county to county across North Carolina and making fundraising calls in between stops. Her small house where she lives with her cat, Elle, about an hour north of Raleigh, serves as homebase. On the road, she checks in with her county chairs to see what they’re hearing on the ground and what they may need from her. When she does finally return home, she logs on to her computer to finish up work for her part-time nonprofit job as a broadband analyst so she can pay the bills.

[...] During a scorching late-August Friday on N.C. State’s campus, as she mans a tent to recruit volunteers and dances to the music blasting on the loudspeaker, a student asks if she could sign up.

“Baby, yes you can,” Clayton replies. “And we’d love for you to because Republicans here are trying to beat the shit out of us.”

More Information

Even though Olivia has lived here who entire life, she loves to travel. She has gone to many places across sea and to the Caribbean but no matter where she goes, she always ends up back in East Haven. It’s what has felt like home to her since the day she was born. 

Olivia can be seen in a pair of heals with a skirt and a fun blouse as she likes to always keep people on their toes. 

Olivia has been with many a people in her life, she even has a child with one of them but little does she know that she’s actually pansexual (this will be played out and she will soon find out)

Family is everything to her and there’s no if’s and’s or butts about it. If you come for any of her family then she’s going to make sure you feel her wraith. They will go to bat for her and she would do the same thing for them. 

Little does Olivia known that there’s a whole other family out there that she doesn’t know about because her father had some secrets that he didn’t tell anyone until he passed which he only told Olivia so she’s gone digging herself for her family. 

The Beatles is always something that you can see coming from Olivia’s Honda CRV radio. She loves their music but is also a huge country fan and it shoes if she goes out on the town drinking. 

She is a very patient person and it takes a lot to get her going or to upset her but once you’ve crossed her, there’s nothing that anyone can do to make it up to her because she will choose peace over conflict every time. 

The beverage of choice, non alcoholic that is is tea. She can be seen with tea in her hand or water with lemon, mint, and cucumber. If she’s drinking it depends on the mood and it could go from white wine, to whiskey, to even some beer. Be careful because you might see her wild side.

Big Bad Wolf, Chapter 1

Okay I’m doing something probably no one asked for.... a werewolf Throne of Glass AU....

Side note: I am also working on Light as Air (which is my Fenrys post Kingdom of Ash fanfic, it on my masterlist if anyone wants to read it) and hopefully chapter 7 will be out within the next week or two :)

Masterlist!

Like always, message me if you want to be tagged for future chapters :)

Summary:

Aelin was just a normal 17 year old girl, well a normal 17 year old wolf, well a normal 17 year old, daughter of the alpha, wolf. That all changed after one night at the Red Moon Bar with a mysterious stranger.

Fast forward six years, Aelin is back home in Virginia, after being banished to her grandmothers pack in New York. With her father becoming ill and being their only child, Aelin must step up for the good of her pack, but does she want to be part of a family that shamed her? Does she really want to help the parents that sent her away? And does she really want to bring her son into the mess she left behind?

Chapter 1:

It had been six years, but I still knew the drive like the back of my hand. Speeding down the highway was second nature and I couldn't help the rightness of the familiar landscape. Memories of sneaking out for midnight runs and summer swims with my friends, all swarmed my head. It was like I was 17 again, and everything was normal and easy.

"Momma, are we almost there yet?"

My thoughts of the old normal was abruptly stopped by the words of my new normal.

Taking a peek at the white haired kid in the back seat, I couldn't help but smile. His tanned skin all but glowed in the sun, which made his locks seem more silver and even more noticeable, but his eyes are what caught everyones attention. His eyes were the only feature he got from me, the turquoise blue color that was ringed with gold. Those eyes were a staple in my family going back centuries, and it also meant that with one look at my eyes, anyone and everyone knew exactly who I was, and who I belonged to.

I only hid those eyes once, and it ended up changing my entire life. Visions of the past floated forward, but forced them away and grounded out an answer to my son's question.

"5 more minutes buddy," I promised him. He was getting more excited the closer we got, but I was getting more anxious.

I didn't want to go back yet, I didn't want to deal with the stares and the judgment.

We were only 2 minutes away when I passed by a familiar shopping center, with my favorite old, beat-up, yellow bug sitting in the parking lot.

My lips grew into a grin and I abruptly turned, an idea already forming in my mind. A car honked at me from behind, but I was already parking in the spot next to Bumblebee.

"Hey little buddy, 2hat do you think about getting some ice cream before going to see Nana and Papa?" The screaming in the back seat was a clear enough answer.

I undid the seat belt, grabbed my purse, and climbed out of the Honda CRV. I found my son was already standing outside of the car, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Can I get a double scoop? Pleaseeeeeee!" I couldn't say to no when he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist, repeatedly singing please's.

"Okay, okay," I responded while patting his head, trying to tame his crazy hair that always seemed to stand up straight. "On one condition."

He looked up at me expectedly.

"If Nana and Papa ask you, I only let you have one scoop."

"Deal!"

With a smile he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the white ice cream shop.

Snow Pups was a wolf run business and my best friend, Elide, worked there every day, or at least she had. The shop had seen better days. The paint was flaking and the only the S and W on the sign were actually lit up. It was a small place, with an awning over the ordering and serving window. The awning had rips and its red coloring had faded to a light pink.

I could remember when this place had been pristine and no one would miss the specials, but that all changed 10 years ago. A shudder went through me as I thought back to the large scale hunter attack and the fires that raged that night. The pack lost many people that day, and Elide had to bury both of her parents. The care of Snow Pups went to Elide's uncle, Vernon. Terrible was too light a word for how horrible that man was, but he also became Elide's legal guardian. The guardianship didn’t take long to turn into something much worse, and Vernon treated Elide more like a servant than a niece. 

Within the pack, a small group of traditionalists, who preached about conserving strong bloodlines, had discriminated against those in the community who were born without a wolf. Many years ago, these individuals, who were almost completely human, were shunned and lived short, mateless lives. Regulations were created, beatings were inflicted, and many decided to leave the pack completely to become part of the "real” world. Under my parents leadership, laws against mating with these individuals were abolished, beatings were punishable by death, and anyone could leave if it was of their free will. It was probably the only thing I admired about the couple, but they didn’t do it because they cared, they did it because of the lessoning population within the pack. But, people learned and realized that even the strongest, most prevalent families could produce a human, and a human could give birth to a wolf. Vernon did not believe this was true, him and his group believed that only the weak could produce such an offspring. Such an offspring like Elide, who was born wolfless.

Guilt flared while I thought about the abuse and torment that Elide faced at the hands of her uncle and how I wasn't able to say goodbye to her. All my parents allowed me was a letter. A letter that didn't explain much, and I wasn't even sure it was given to her.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Looking up, picnic tables and benches were spread across the lawn and I recognized most of the people there. Anger rose in me when I realized they were staring. Their beady eyes going back and forth from me to my son.

With my head down, I went right up to the ordering window. Taking a deep breath I looked up to find a boy with shaggy black hair reading a book at the counter.

With a startled intake of breath, the boy finally tore his gaze from the pages in front of him. His eyes widened in shock as his gaze finally collied with mine.

The book went crashing to the ground and Dorian stood up so fast that the chair was knocked over as well.

"Aelin is that really you?" Suddenly he was gone, and I felt my heart fall to my stomach.

Is he really that disgusted by me? What did my parents tell everyone? 

A flash of movement in the corner of my eye had me turning slightly.

"OH!" I made a noise when arms went around my waist and I found myself floating off the ground. Laughing as he turned me around in a circle, Dorian shouted, "I can't believe you're home!"

He finally stopped moving and put my feet back on the ground, but left his hands around my waist. I finally had a chance to look up into the beautiful piercing sapphire eyes, surrounded by long elegant lashes. Eyes that I drooled over once upon a time. Finally regaining my composure, I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him close.

I whispered in his ear, "I missed you." Tears silently running down my face. After a moment we parted and he reached down to wipe a stray tear from my cheek.

"I- arghh!" Dorian's words were cut off with a moan of his own making. Movement below caught my attention.

All I saw was a blur of white, unable to stop the multiple punches to Dorian's groin area.

"Kaden! What are you doing?!" I shrieked at my son as I grabbed for his middle.

He gazed up at me, forehead wrinkled in anger and confusion.

"He made you cry momma." The little terror started toward Dorian again, but my arms were like iron keeping him in place.

Bending down, and trying hard to fight the smile that was starting to sprout, I said, "I promise these are happy tears sweetheart. Your momma hasn't seen her friend in a very long time and I was so excited I cried." He seemed perplexed at the answer.

"You cried cause you are happy?"

"Yes exactly."

I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and turned back toward my injured friend. He didn't look to worse for wear.

"Dorian how are you holding up after getting beat up by a 5 year old?"

Finally standing up straight, Dorian glared and said, "Why did I miss you again?"

I snorted and decided introductions were in order.

"Kaden this is momma's old friend, Dorian." The boy still looked nervous so I continued, "Dorian this is my son, Kaden."

He must not have heard Kaden and I talking before, because his eyes widened and his eyebrows raised to his hairline. He sputtered out a, "W-w-what?"

I sent him a look, pleading for him to not make this a big deal, and he quickly got the messaged and composed himself.

"It's very nice to meet you Kaden. If you ever want to hear embarrassing stories about your mom, I'm the one you come to."

"Actually I think that I would be the better person for that job."

A light feminine voice filled the air and I held my breath. Slowly I turned toward the shop and standing outside of the side door was a petite dark haired beauty. The curled chocolate locks were held back in a high pony tale, making the curves of her face more pronounce and in the midday sun her eyes were a glowing black. Even with the high neck top she wore, she couldn't hide the now healed, but obviously discolored skin. I knew that the burns had covered her entire back, half of her right arm, and the right side of her neck, but it seemed she still liked to wear long sleeves to cover up the scars. The hunters had set fire to her home, and I almost lost her that day.

A whimper came out of my mouth and Elide's eyes filled with tears. We ran at each other and embraced. Sobs both racking through our bodies, we clung to each other. The full weight of missing my best friend hit me and I couldn't have let go if I tried.

After several minutes we both finally calmed down enough to part from each other. With a sniffle, and without another word to me, Elide started toward Kaden and dropped to her knees in front of my little boy.

"Hi," Elide started with a breathtaking smile that made everyone instantly fall in love with her. "I know you don't know me, but I have loved you from the day I found out you were alive. Your mom told me a long time ago I was a godmother, and if you would like you can call me Aunt Elide."

The little boy looked absolutely smitten with Elide, and gave her a toothy grin and nodded.

The mention of the letter I left her brought a third round of tears to my eyes.

My hands shook watching the whole interaction, and I raised one to cover my mouth, trying to catch the sobs. Dorian had moved next me and draped an arm around my shoulders. I loved him for weighing me down in that moment.

It was that moment that I realized the amount of love that Kaden would receive here. Not from my blood family, but my made family, all of whom I would hopefully see soon.

And with a steely resolve, I knew that I would do whatever it took to make sure that he could stay here and have a life. Even if it meant doing my parents bidding and facing the memories of him. The him that still haunted my dreams. The him that I would probably never see again.

-

-

Elide took it upon herself to let Kaden try every single flavor of ice cream that Snow Pups had. His favorite turned out to be mint chocolate chip, but it took 12 other flavors to find this out. The sugar rush was insane. 

A young teenage couple came to relieve Dorian and Elide from work, so we decided to sit on the bench outside of the shop. Currently I was watching Dorian chase my little boy around the parking lot, which was starting to darken with the sun slowly lowering in the sky. 

"I hope you forgive me for the hyper boy I created," Elide poked me in the shoulder, shaking me out of my staring.

I laughed and said, "I'll forgive you when he crashes in about 10 minutes." 

"Lin," her voice was quiet enough that I fully turned to face her, and the use of my childhood nickname gave me a warm feeling in my stomach. 

"Lin I'm so sorry," Elide's lower lip wobbled as she spoke.

"What on earth could you be sorry for El?" I questioned just as quietly.

"I should have found a way to keep in touch with you or forced your parents to tell me where you were. I was so afraid of what my uncle would do to me if I angered the alpha and luna, but that's no excuse-"

"No," I quickly cut her off. "I should be the one apologizing to you." I took a deep breath and sighed. "My parents gave me an hour to pack my things and get past the pack borders, and I spent 15 minutes arguing with them, crying, trying to get them to change their minds. I should have used those minutes to find you and explain, better than a two sentence letter."

She grabbed my hand as I continued. "My grandmother gave me a phone, I could have called you." 

She let go of my hand suddenly, dropping it like my skin burned her. I looked up at her through my lashes, feeling extremely ashamed. 

"What the hell Aelin!" The hurt on her face clear as day. Her hurt also came through in the use of my full name, that she never used. 

"El it's really complicated, so much happened that I can't even begin to explain. I wouldn't even know where to start." I tried to implore her to understand, but she just shook her head. Her dark eyes bore into mine. 

"You don't need to give me all the details, but at least explain why you wouldn't call or text me that you were okay. I deserve at least that much. All I got was a note that said, Elide, I love you so much my sister, I know I will see you again and I know you will be the best godmother in the world." 

I flinched. 

She memorized it. 

She memorized the sorry excuse for a letter that I wrote for her. 

She deserved the whole truth, but I wasn't sure I could give it all to her right now, so I settled with a little bit more than the bare minimum.

"The first year I was gone my grandmother didn't have any technology at all, I was surprised when she let me go to the hospital to give birth," I let out a short laugh. "The only contact I had was with her and..."

"And what?"

"And the letters that my parents sent to me."

Shock crossed her features and I knew why. My parents weren't the type of send their darling daughter love letters explaining how much they missed her, not even close. I knew Elide was afraid to ask what was in them, so I explained as little as possible.

"The letters basically explained how much of a disappointment I was, and how they were better without me, how the pack was better without me." 

I rubbed my arms with my hands, the deep cold setting in. The damage from those letters would never be undone. 

"I'm not sure why I read them, but I always held a sliver of hope that one day they would ask about Kaden or even ask about me. So I read every single one, every single one of the 213 letters that I got."

Elide now looked alarmed at whatever my face held, and I could feel my wolf coming to the surface with the need to protect. 

I continued anyways, "The worst part of those letters was when they talked about you. There was letters about Dorian, Lys, and even Aedion, but yours were by far the worst. They told me that you were thriving without me, that I was only holding you back from reaching your full potential. They told me things I can never repeat, but the themes were always that I was dirt and everyone was happy I was gone." 

I sighed and gazed at my son, who was now weaving in and out of parked cars, this last part was going to be the worst to explain. "At first I told myself they were lying, that we were sisters and you could never say the awful things that they wrote to me. I told myself that over and over again, but overtime I started to believe them. When my grandmother finally allowed me to buy a cell phone, I saved your number in my contacts. You have no idea how many times that I stared at the call button, but I couldn't bring myself to ruin the happiness that my parents so vividly explained you were living. I'm so sorry Elide, I shouldn't have ever believed them, and when I saw your face today I knew that I should have called you the minute I was able to."

I put my face in my hands, too afraid to look at Elide's face, afraid of what I would find. After a minute of agony, I felt two small hands move my arms. 

She was kneeling in front of me, with tears running down her face. "No matter what happens, or how long we are apart, you, now and always, will be my sister. Our bond is thicker than blood, and we both know that biological family means nothing. I love you and we could not talk for 20 years and I would still love you." 

The words were exactly what I needed to hear. "Let not do this ever again, let alone for 20 years." I said through my ugly sobs. A breathtaking smile lit her face up. 

"Hey Lin!" I gazed up at Dorian, who was holding my passed out 5 year old in his arms. I laughed and told Dorian to put him in his car seat. We all walked toward my car, Elide and I hand in hand, unwilling to let go of each other. When Dante was finished, I strapped Kaden in and placed a kiss on his forehead. Closing the car door as quietly as possible, I then turned toward my friends. 

"I was supposed meet my parents hours ago, so I probably should get going." The full weight of going to the pack house hit me. 

"We get off at 11:00 tonight, because it's a Friday, but why don't you come back and we can all go to the diner like we used to? I can call Lys, but some stuff has been happening with her..." Memories upon memories came back at Elide's question. A small smile came to my lips as I nodded my head to agree, but the smile quickly left as I analyzed the unfinished statement she had made. With a quick shake of her head, I knew I shouldn't ask yet, Dorian wouldn’t even meet my eyes. I would have to learn more about Lysandra later, and I also noticed the tired eyes of my two closest friend. A deep tired, that I then realized was a product of the 5 years I had missed. 

What happened to my real family while I was gone?

After a moment of awkwardness and tension, they both gave me hugs, Elide's slightly longer than Dorian's. Saying goodbye was harder now that I felt the weight of all the time and memories I was absent for. And all the time and memories I had made without them. 

What will they say when they realized all I have done?

Finally, getting into the drivers seat of my car, I picked up my phone that I had conveniently left in the center console. Taking a deep breath I opened it and saw several missed calls and texts from my parents. All of them threatening and all of them commanding me to get to the pack house. I knew I would have to face the music soon, so I slowly backed out of my parking space and started the short drive to my worst nightmare. 

The alpha and luna were waiting for me and they were out for blood.

Thanks for reading, xoxo :)
