      Not only can baleen whales emit calls that travel farther than any other voice in the animal kingdom, these giants of the deep also create the loudest vocalisations of any creature on earth: the call of a blue whale can reach 180 decibels – as loud as a jet plane, a world record.

      6am, time to build that shed! I have a busy afternoon scheduled of sitting in the garage drinking and picking at my belly button lint.

    As a hybrid civic owner, I’m offended. But then again, there are some kids in the neighborhood with a type R, a spoiler that is absurdly large and the engine being loud as fuck in general, so I also understand it.

      My wife and I were cruising around in our brand new Accord Touring Hybrid the other night for the feeling of nostalgia. We rolled down our street slowly, all the windows down blasting some mellow jazz all while our car didn’t make a whisper itself. You could slightly hear the audible warning it makes when it is moving slow or in reverse. (https://youtu.be/K_7Hd3M2qrc)

      We sure showed those kids a thing or two!

      (In all seriousness, the Touring Hybrid is a sick car.)

      Nah, they probably got Si models since they can’t afford the Type R but still want the red Honda logo
