Don’t Forget Dad!

 

Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 19th.   What was the best advice you ever received from your Father?  Share it with us!  We’d love to hear it.

Or just enjoy some of these pithy quotes about our favorite dads:

"A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there, as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station." -- Bill Cosby

"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." -- Enid Bagnold

"A father is a guy who has snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be." – Unknown

"My father always told me, 'Find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.' " -- Jim Fox

"A father is a banker provided by nature." -- French Proverb

"My father said, 'Politics asks the question: Is it expedient? Vanity asks: Is it popular? But conscience asks: Is it right?'" -- Dexter Scott King

"When I was a kid, I said to my father one afternoon, 'Daddy, will you take me to the zoo?' He answered, 'If the zoo wants you, let them come and get you.'" -- Jerry Lewis

"Small boy's definition of Father's Day: It's just like Mother's Day only you don't spend so much." – Unknown

"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." -- Charles Wadsworth

Honda Safety Shines As New Civic Is Named IIHS “Top Safety Pick”

Even though the Honda Civic has been completely redesigned for the new model year, engineers worked to ensure it did share at least one thing with the outgoing model: The 2012 Civic sedan, just like the 2011 version, has been recognized as a “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The honor goes only to vehicles with electronic stability control and the highest possible scores in the IIHS’ tests for side, front, rear and rollover crash protection, so it’s a notable achievement for the Civic.

And it’s no coincidence that the Civic offers some notable standard safety technologies, too. These include Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which is used throughout the automaker’s lineup. It’s an exclusive body design specifically developed to manage potential crash forces at the front of the vehicle to reduce their affect on the passenger compartment. Also standard on the Civic are safety features like vehicle stability assist, traction control, anti-lock brakes and a full range of airbags, including side-curtain airbags, dual-stage multiple-threshold front airbags, a driver’s front side airbag and a front passenger’s side airbag with an occupant-detection system.

Further, the IIHS “Top Safety Pick” status applies to the entire Civic sedan lineup:

  • The original Civic, now boasting EPA ratings of 28 mpg city/39 mpg highway/32 mpg combined
  • Civic HF, specially enhanced to break the 40-mpg mark, with EPA ratings of 29 mpg city/41 mpg highway/33 mpg combined
  • Civic Hybrid, with the best EPA marks of any four-door sedan—44 mpg city/44 mpg highway/44 mpg combined
  • Civic GX, which runs on readily available compressed natural gas instead of gasoline and will be offered in all 50 states
  • Civic Si, packing a 201-hp I4 engine for high-efficiency high performance
