What Is This?

This isn’t the teeth of a machine, the chainmail shirt your cousin uses for larping, nor the DNA sequence of Justin Bieber’s love child.

What you’re looking at is a fleet of hundreds of new Hondas, submerged by the horrible flooding in Thailand. The factory resides in the Ayutthaya province and Honda says that clean up work is already underway as the water recede. They added that it’ll take some time before production is back to normal. No amount of VTEC will get you out of this mess. [Reuters via Design You Trust]

    I miss the old VTEC honda’s. Those things were feral. The current Civic deserves to be drowned like a stray mongrel cat.

      No cat deserves drowning.
      As Australians, we have a childish, primitive, almost atavistic misogynist fear of felines. It’s embarrassing.

        +1 for missing the point.

        Maybe cats are just lousy animals. I’d go with that. But really, Australia as an entire country has a problem with cats? A deep seated psychological problem? Honestly? How long have you been keeping this in? Perhaps you should create an awareness program. Ok ok, I got it. “Cats are ok day”. It even has an alliterative ending so it gets stuck in people’s heads. Market it in primary schools. Our youngest generations have to know the truth. Godspeed you.

    Beware of 2011 model Hondas going cheap.

    I think one of those cars is my wives. She ordered a Blue Jazz at the end of September, it was due to arrive mid November. She got a call 3 weeks ago to tell her the factory was 2.77m underwater along with her car. They told her they were not able to supply her with a car until March next year. We are now stuck without a car as we sold our old one 6 weeks ago.

    Feral Cats are indeed a HUGE problem in Australia. Aussies may well baulk at the drowing bit, but when it comes down to the destruction of Wildlife in the Bush, the Feral Cat has no peer!

    Get over your feeling for Felines, favor instead the Fauna!
