HondaHAIR A Potential Godsend For Dudes With Buzz Cuts

Published

Last year, as part of an ad campaign for the Odyssey’s in-van vacuum system, Honda released a fake ad on April Fool’s Day for a product called the “HondaHAIR.” When I first came across this ad, I happened to overlook the date that it was published on, so I watched the entire video believing that this thing was an actual product.

Honda has unveiled plans for crazier looking products, so you can’t blame me for briefly believing that the HondaHAIR ad was serious. It is, in fact, quite an ingenious idea. It’s an attachment for the HondaVAC that allows you to cut hair without having to sweep up any mess. As the ad says, “it’s an enjoyable way to cut hair on the go.” The HondaHAIR has fast-acting razors on the inside of the nozzle that trim the hairs pulled in by the suction of the HondaVAC.

The real question is why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? This obviously wouldn’t be the most effective tool for salon-grade haircuts as it would cut everything the same length, but for those all of those buzz cut-lovers out there, the HondaHAIR kind of seems like a godsend.

If you’re rocking the buzz cut, there’s a 95 percent chance that you choose to shave your own head simply because you’re too lazy to go to someone who actually knows what they’re doing (at least that’s why I always buzzed it up back in the day). Why not extend that laziness by completely eliminating the need for cleanup? Plus, you can knock out haircuts while you drive. The possibilities are endless.

Like I said, the HondaHAIR is not real, but it damn well should be. I’m giving Honda a year, and if they don’t cash in on this bad boy, I’m getting myself a patent.

Many of us thought that the Dodge Challenger Hellcat was about as intimidating as a car could get. After all, people couldn’t hardly get them off the lot without crashing them when they first came out. Then Dodge upped the ante with the new Demon. But aside from the raw power, there are some other interesting aspects of the new Demon.

Check out the video below for a full rundown of just how unique this car is.

Mercedes Names May Be Getting More Confusing

Think you finally have your Mercedes names mastered? Well, a new challenge appears to be coming, friend.

How to now identify Mercedes models by name

Some moves in the northwoods of Canada by the brand appear to signal a change in the naming conventions that will be used for Mercedes and AMG models. Candian trademarks have been filed for  A 40, CLA 40, SLC 40, SLC 50 and GLE 50 in addition to CLA 53, G73 and S73.

If this proves true in the states, it would signal an end to the rule of two digits for Mercedes, three-digits for AMG counterparts. The new world would be two digits, ending in a “0” for Mercedes, and two digits ending in a “3” for AMG. This supports rumors of  an AMG ‘73’ model with a hybrid powertrain.

While this change isn’t terribly difficult to comprehend, it certainly makes things interesting when comparing legacy and upcoming Mercedes models. There are a lot of numbers to keep straight, and a lot of explaining to do. And the letter and number combos leave something to be desired in terms of cachet.

Oh, it’s got cachet baby!

It makes one appreciate the simplicity of giving each vehicle an actual name, like the domestic manufacturers do. Sure, that’s how we ended up with the Chevy Nova, but what are you going to do? There are only so many names, surely one for an automobile would end up meaning “no go” in some language, right?…

What’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern?

"What's the Toyota's weird shifter pattern?" image of 2011 Toyota Camry shifter

I like my car. It’s a 2011 Toyota toaster, I mean Camry. If you made a list of everything a car has to do, the Camry would check all the boxes. It gets me from point A to point B with the consistency a learning golfer would envy. It’s a toaster. You put in the bread, choose your level of toastiness, push down the thingy and then wait for it to pop up. But there is one interesting thing about my car. The shifter. That’s it up there. That is definitely not conventional at all. So, what’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern? (more…)
