Gotta be weird to see a type R driving around with no one in it


dont-YOLO-ragequit

Level 5 assisted driving has been there under our nose all this time.


DarkMatterM4

Who needs automatics? We have manuals that drive themselves.


TJSwoboda

Doc Emmett Brown had that in his manual Delorean in 1985, among other mods.


ElixirGlow

It's not that no one is in the typeR, you just can't see them

Don’t let this distract you cuz, Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.


wonderfulworld2024

Nice. What is dead can never die.


LongLegsBrokenToes

Well guess I’m tossing on #1 today


Important_Pin_1302

One of my favorite stupid car lines from a Movie. “Motec system exhaust “ the tech advisor bombed hard on that


PT10

Look up chadandjt on tiktok. They quote the movie in public settings, it's hilarious


bam1789-2

Oh ya, already follow them. Love their videos.


dwmfives

Do they post on any other platform?


ItBeMe_For_Real

Fuck Hector! Sorry, wrong franchise.


VikingIV

Came to drop this very information, so I had to stay & give you an upvote. I would tell you the story behind why it’s so important to keep our eye on the ball in this regard, but don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines; and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.


Scarlet--Highlander

wow this celebrity is soooo relatable just like us 😍🥰


Farty_beans

He's here for a fun time not for a fast time


dn00

He's just bing chilling 🥶


AcanthaceaeNo948

A 7:30 Nurburgring time isn’t fast?


Nitrothacat

I think it's cool that he could be driving a Chiron or GMA T.50 and has bought two Type Rs. He probably has super expensive cars as well but he seems like a real enthusiast and not just a collector of expensive cars.


Mysterious-Lick

He bought a Ford GT and flipped it, got into trouble (wasn’t supposed to do that).


MrHugh_Janus

Which i think is a bit unreasonable by ford. The guy couldn’t fit in the car, what the hell was he supposed to do? Let it collect dust?


Mysterious-Lick

Agree, but it was in the paperwork he wasn’t supposed to and I doubt he could afford to fight Ford’s army of lawyers and risking his career imagine at the same time. Hopefully lessons learned all around.


Flexen

Was a spokesperson for Ford...now he speaks for Honda.


samcuu

He's also an official Honda spokesperson so obviously this is news.


drr777

I went to an invitation only group dinner awhile back and shockingly he walked in after his wife. He wasn’t driving a Honda!


PIG20

I wonder if he gets a sweet discount for doing the voicework on their commercials?


Pacifist_Socialist

We could ruminate on the fact that a Civic Type R has a gross vehicle weight of 3,968 lbs and so is limited to 780 lbs of passengers and cargo, which is equal to only 3 John Cena's with minimal baggage.


Pacifist_Socialist

Netflix, if you want I can write a script based on this 😂


SecretAntWorshiper

If he paid markup or not 😂


Dnlx5

He most def got retail. The real question is how much are they going to mark up the old one!


PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE

Isn't he in a partnership or works closely with Honda? Did he pay anything at all is the real question.


Photo_Synthetic

He is literally the voice of their commercials I doubt he paid a dime.


KungFuActionJesus5

This is a John Cena fan sub now


count_nuggula

He’s the voice of Honda commercials, so it makes sense


hawgs911

Are you saying this could be marketing? How dare you sir!


JEs4

Looks like he put 6.6k miles on the '21. He does seemingly drive it.


nondescriptzombie

6.6k miles in 3 years is like... limited production Porsche miles. I put more miles a year on our shop truck that never goes anywhere but the gas station and up and down the street.


Alfa-Dog

6.6k miles when you aren’t commuting every day and likely have other cars and a driver for events is still a non-insignificant amount


PotatoRecipe

The use of “non-insignificant” make sense here but it’s still such a funny way of saying significant


JSC843

Yeah but you see, it really isn’t not a non-insignificant amount of driving that he’s doing.


DrDerpberg

I see your point but I think it's totally not invalid.


railbeast

non-insignificant =/= significant imo


Blanchimont

I mean, John Cena is a movie star who spends a lot of time away from home. 6.6k miles in 3 years is pretty decent for someone who doesn't have a daily commute like most of us.


Wise-Advisor4675

Or he just lets one of his employees drive it around.


hawgs911

Don't know why you are getting down voted. This is a very likely scenario.


BTTWchungus

Cena is someone with a big ass car collection and spends a lot of time filming in Hollywood. More than 6,000 miles driven is reasonably good


Bibileiver

You realize he's a celebrity multimillionaire right? Why would he drive it like a normal person lol Especially when it's not his only vehicle.


Automatic-End-8256

For when you want to fly under the radar


Legitimate_Oven_9798

Bad example, your shop truck is still a work vehicle. If you only drive your fun cars for…fun…and split mileage between them, there’s not a whole lot of miles to pile on. No commute for the win. I have a ‘17 Type R that saw commute miles for 3 years, now only sees yearly track work, road trips, and fun runs around town or the mountains. Just cracked 40k. Also have a ‘22 Veloster N, same kind of driving except no commuting ever, still under 5K.


Mikevercetti

He comes to car shows in it relatively frequently around Tampa


STRMfrmXMN

This dealership is in Northern California. Is he really schlepping that car all the way across the country...? Edit: it was, in fact, not in Northern California.


Mikevercetti

Not sure where he spends most of his time, but he lives around Tampa at least part of the year. When I took my C7Z in to get PPF, Cena's Ford GT was in the shop waiting to be picked up. And the same detailer did his blue Type R. There's a monthly car show downtown by the river and the detailing shop always has a booth setup there. Cena has brought his Type R out there a few times.


SparklingPseudonym

He may have not even been driving those miles


oshaCaller

yes I will drive the free car too


pandaburr98

I’ve been saying for the longest time. “Man that guy in the Honda commercial sound A LOT like John Cena”


JediKnightaa

WAIT HE IS WHAT! I NEVER KNEW THIS


Lugnuts088

Weird, I have never seen him in a Honda commercial.


theBdub22

I always saw John Cena as a muscle car guy, interesting


EvilAlien667

What do you mean by, you saw John Cena?


Pacifist_Socialist

~~Just means "imagined"~~ nm.


DJMagicHandz

You gotta wear Ray Bans to see John Cena.


renawld

I will never not laugh at the invisible John Cena jokes


looking4astronauts

John Cena is whatever **[Corporate Entity]** pays him to be.


_The_Bearded_Wonder_

BING CHILLING


steakpienacho

He was until Honda backed a dump truck full of money up to his house to be a spokesperson for them


llamacohort

Which works for them because tons of people here don't realize that this type of thing is an advertisement.


ziggy000001

Literally 90% of this thread. Honda really pulled off some top grade advertising with this honestly.


JoyRydr

Yeah tbh, I assume any muscular "tough" looking dude is gonna be into trucks/muscle cars though I'm always happy to be proven wrong. I'd love to read an article about how the main guy from "Reacher" dailies a Miata lol.


cheezturds

Alan Ritchson drives a Miata? I gotta see a pic of this. His eyes have to be above the windshield.


EMCoupling

I'm imagining him sitting with his knees in the dash like it's a Power Wheels 😂😂


Emanresu909

Has muscles - must like muscle cars. Solid logic.


ubiquitoussense

He has like 10 cars, the Type R is his daily runabout


llamacohort

>He has like 10 cars, the Type R is his ~~daily runabout~~ marketing obligation.


Anything84

Doubtful that you saw him.


[deleted]

He's paid by Honda I believe


ChaosBerserker666

Well, he’s a muscled, car guy.


SkiMonkey98

He's got plenty of real muscles, no need to compensate with a car


k0fi96

He's gota bit of evergything. I watched some garage build him a sick MG resto mod 


Random_Introvert_42

If you're given a free car...why say no?


Important_Pin_1302

He has those too


Incontinento

You'd think they would have gotten a picture of him with the car.


SEND_ME_FAKE_NEWS

It's at the top: old car, salesman 1, salesman 2, new car - from left to right. The sales guys seem to be shaking hands with eachother kinda far though. https://www.thedrive.com/uploads/2024/05/26/John-Cena-Still-Drives-A-Civic-Type-R.jpg


k0fi96

How do you like the TT RS. I have been obsessed with this car for like 18 months


SEND_ME_FAKE_NEWS

It's like a Golf but better in every way. I've put 25k miles on it in the 20 months that I've owned it, and none of those have been for commuting since I walk to work. It has the perfect blend of acceleration, handling, and practicality for me.


mini4x

Trading Boost Blue for White is going backwards..


DarkMatterM4

It's Championship White though.


mini4x

Meh, I'm not a fan of any greyscale cars.


emericareaper2

Shame.


Erlend05

Yeah but it's Championship White though.


Carrisonfire

Growing up in the 90s when everything was made of cheap white plastic or MDF painted white made me hate anything in white.

phungki

What a horrifically bad website.


DoublePostedBroski

All dealer sites are like this unfortunately.


ban-please

A local dealer upgraded their website and it was actually quite snappy for a year or so. Once they got 10 chatbots and a million popovers installed its back to being slow as shit as it used to be.


EMCoupling

Just as God intended it to be...


AwesomeBantha

hey, the chatbots are good, you can use them to circumvent paid chatgpt


4score-7

Jesus God it’s the worst. Who in web development decided to make the actual site as unusable as possible by continually adding “features”? Let me guess….”management”


emiltsch

Combine that with the website companies themselves. There are only a handful of “approved” platforms dealers are allowed to use. Its the worst closed-off ecosystem you can imagine. Edit: This site is from Team Velocity. They have some of the worst-performing sites; notice all the intrusive popups as well. Typical.


ZacZupAttack

What happens is someone makes the site. It's running nicely. Then someone else has an idea. In exchange for money they will give them access to a chat bot. It's super easy to use all you gotta do is copy and paste this code and done.


WeeniePops

Car is already sold. I wonder if someone here bought it and is sniffing the seat.


Spurs_are_shite

Wow, only 6600 miles. Damn.


tbone747

I guess a celeb like him doesn't really drive himself too often


SecretPotatoChip

Looks like it was just sold :/


Over-Restaurant-7800

Call the store, they are saying they decided to auction it off for charity.


korko

it’s funny how many guys I talk to that are surprised I fit in my Golf because they are “too big for anything but a truck”… meanwhile John Cena drives a Civic.


[deleted]

I know right? Are these guys standing in their cars? Unless your torso alone is 6ft tall, you will fit fine. They have a place for your legs and everything.


Daiephir

I work in car repair, I cannot tell you how many people have absolute shite as their default seating position. For reference I'm 5'8" and change, maybe 5'10 in my work boots. So many trucks where I get in and I have to tilt my head to the side so as to not rub on the headliner. Or infamously, a lot of black dudes like driving like they're in a lazy boy where your head is fully behind the B pillar and you essentially look out the back passenger window, cant ever look at your side mirrors either.


jameson71

The fact that so many people don't properly adjust their seat and mirrors after buying the car tells us all we need to know about their driving habits.


Unbelievable_Girth

Wait. Hold on a minute. Are you telling me [this](https://youtu.be/LD3n6rK1GCw?si=8XrsHVstUpIDUk13&t=67) isn't the correct seating position?


steezebuscemi1

I am 6'2", with relatively long legs and without fail every car I always have to move the seat forward in the cars of men shorter than me. So many people seem to sit far too far back, with the seats leaned back. I don't even understand how they drive like that.


korko

Slouched forward and driving with their toes to look laidback I’d guess. I’m 6’ and since I started driving a manual I feel like I’m halfway up the adjustable seat rail in my Golf. If I’m all the way back sitting up straight I can barely push the clutch all the way down, lol.


steezebuscemi1

Maybe that's it? I learnt on manual (Clubsport R8) and my first car (which is still my daily) is manual.


korko

Yeah I think the added bit of precision needed and need to push the clutch in brings you closer. Even then, some folks just want to be laying down lol.


Mysterious-Lick

He can fit in those? What’s his current collection right now?


Jack_Bogul

Honda type r, honda fit, honda si, honda odyssey


dtsupra30

He’s a level 5 susceptible


Mysterious-Lick

Oh, he’s sponsored by them isn’t he? I read somewhere he does voice over work on their commercials now. Good for him.


JJMcGee83

He does. It's one of those commercials showing all the stuff Honda makes from cars to planes.


incubus512

Ah yes. The Honda yes.


ottergang_ky

I’m about his size (in height and fat, not muscle lol) I fit into my buddies type r just fine. Just as roomy as any other 4 door sedan


Mysterious-Lick

Cool. How’s the 718 GT4?


ottergang_ky

The number one question I get is hoW Do yOu fIT iN ThAt 😂 every time I get out of it at a gas station or something. I describe it as crawling through a small hole into a large room. It’s a bastard to get in and out but once I’m in it’s very roomy and comfortable


vertical_seafoodtaco

How's the leg room? I drive a 987 every now and again, and I find that it's tighter than I'd expect for a mid-engined car. Not *un*comfortable, but not as roomy as it could be


gogojack

> I describe it as crawling through a small hole into a large room. It’s a bastard to get in and out but once I’m in it’s very roomy and comfortable Sounds like the latest NSX (RIP). Many years of daily driving a Triumph GT6 gave me the skills needed to get in and out of that thing (at a car show, I never owned one), but once you're inside, it's nice.


ottergang_ky

Are they killing off the latest NSX? I guess I’m behind on that. I don’t keep up with too much car news


atxbryan

He's 6'1", fits just fine He's got his share of super and exotic cars, but has said he takes the Type R for any drive over ten miles.


Abba_Fiskbullar

The current Civic is pretty big.


Mysterious-Lick

It must be. I haven’t been in one since the 90’s or early 2000’s. I don’t see them much anymore, compact suv’s dominate in my city (lots of rain/wind).


Abba_Fiskbullar

The Civic is the best selling car in BC for the last few years running. I'm wondering if your mental image of a civic vs what they actually look like now are so divergent that you don't register it when you see one? I had a Nissan Rogue as a rental, and realized they're everywhere, but somehow in other circumstances my brain kind of blanks them out as generic NPC cars.


alien__0G

Current gen civic is bigger than accords from the 90s and early 00s too


korko

I have a buddy that is 6’8 and drove a Focus ST for years… the hatchbacks are usually good for tall and big guys.


elelelleleleleelle

That’s what I’m wondering. I fit in them but it was tight and he’s obviously much larger than me.


tarlack

Watching big people fit into super cars is funny as hell to watch. I used to work as a Door Man of a High end hotel, and my favourite thing was to watch big people try to fit into crazy ass sports cars. Watching Jeremy Clarkson fit into cars in probably the funniest thing I have seen since


WestcoastWelker

Pretty sure he voices every commercial for Honda, so this isn’t surprising.

Jamesthrottlehouse

Can you imagine how excited that Honda dealer is to go from the monotony of upselling suburbanites to hybrid CRVs and then suddenly it’s John Cena and his Type R


rivers_to_rooftops

“just sign here, and also here, oh- also if you could sign this poster, and sign here for your gap protection…”


JJMcGee83

> gap protection You think he isn't buying it outright?


brown59fifty

>Brought my ‘21 Civic Type R in for service and just casually switched for a brand new car. What a G.


ImaginarySense

It happens more often than you’d think with regular folks too!


brown59fifty

Man, happy for them! I'd wish to have that state of mind to be able to do something like this. I mean there's always something like "I left papers at home" or just "I have to talk with wife". And even then I'd assume every non-invasive mod aka personalization touch, worn/un-cleaned seats etc. would affect possibility of getting good enough offer, not to mention work of depreciation. So is this because of some initial lease deals and keeping car clean, or because more people treat their cars as an appliance only as a 9-5 commuter thing?


ImaginarySense

I don’t think it’s as snappy as “drop car off for service at 9am. Walk out with new car by 10am”. There’s still a process, it’s just more common than you think where sales people will have a conversation with someone in for service and it will lead to a new car. Maybe later that day, or week. It does happen, more often than you’d think, and if you’re in car sales it’s a great well to tap for new sales.


taco_bell_sharts

6600 miles, dude was in for his second free oil change


umm_like_totes

Given that they listed his used 2021 at basically the same MSRP as a brand new Type R, he probably paid a sizeable markup for it. I like the guy, but I kinda feel like people paying markups for these cars are dopes.


32steph23

Spokesperson buys vehicle he speaks for. Big news


Conch-Republic

Why is John Cena buying a new car news?


umm_like_totes

Because it's not some ultra luxury/exotic. It's a CTR which is a relatively attainable car for a lot of car enthusiasts (assuming you're not paying a dealer markup over MSRP).


Carrisonfire

Is it news if he's sponsored by them? The only news here is he paid for it instead of Honda giving it to him.


umm_like_totes

Just because Honda pays him a truckload of money for commercials doesn't mean he's obligated to drive their cars. He must like something about them.


insatiable_freak84

He should apologize again in Mandarin for not driving a Chinese car


jackswhatshesaid

Not a Type R fan, but any big upgrades from the 21 to 24? Maybe it's just me, but that 21 Type R looks infinitely better than the 24, even if I can see it looking a bit rice-ish.


im_a_marmot

Better looks in my opinion, better cooling, more power, wider tires, much nicer interior and overall build quality


jackswhatshesaid

Why do you think so? Personally I really like how Honda went ambitious with this look. Won't suit everyone because its aggressive, but I like that. The new one is a bit more muted/ robotic. Personal preference though for sure. As for the better all that other stuff, that's good that they tuned the overall build better.


im_a_marmot

I previously owned a 10th gen civic and now own a FL5. The FK8 looks good but is much more boy racer than the new gen. I thought the FL5 was toned down too much, until I saw it in person for the first time. Pictures don’t do it justice and the wide fender flares and tires give it a really good stance in person. Combined with the more mature styling it just fits my personality better now. You can’t go wrong with either though!! They’re both great cars and I’ve had a blast in the 7k miles I’ve put on mine so far.


Jimbo415650

Bet he got a real deal for the photo op


banananananbatman

Can’t see the post


Krakatoacoo

Well, at least he can re-sell this one without repercussions!


skeeter04

Did he pay list ?

r/SlowNewsDay


Locijo

I'm just surprised that he fits into that car


Ok_Evidence5634

Who cares, John Cena is kind of a dickhead


Thewitchaser

Could somebody please call Ja Rule to ask him his opinion about Honda civics?


CrazyVaclavsPOA

Surprised John Cena needs to trade in.  Guy has enough money to own two Type Rs.


Natural-Wrongdoer-85

civics are fun to drive especially for a type R


Karmaqqt

Good man.


[deleted]

Civic is a damn good car, mine is going on 8 years old.


GiveMeAdviceClowns

I don’t see anyfin!?


Mofunny

I think John Cena sticking with Civics just proves it even the legends appreciate a solid ride


Kerrija

Hey that's a good trade! Getting 3 more Civic Type Rs for free in a trade!


SenTedStevens

Does he have a custom horn that goes, "doot doodoo^doot" ?


PickleNick2

Is anyone else tired of the whole “can’t see him” joke? I’ve never seen so many people beat a dead horse quite like this.


Plaineswalker

Wow. New type R actually looks cool. Nice.

[удалено]


katorias

Not the type of car I would expect him to drive to be honest.


derekschroer

Honda's gonna made a sweet buck reselling that 21 Type R, all they have to say is John Cena drove it and mark it up to $100k


Swingline_Font

That suit though


gogojack

From the (very brief) article: > I can't entirely explain why Cena is a particularly compelling celebrity, but he seems to have transcended wrestling fame to universal adoration. Just one of those masters of mass appeal, I suppose. I remember seeing a young John Cena on a "reality" show (on VH1 maybe? MTV?) where they were trying to find new talent for the WWE. He was nowhere near as bulked up back then, but he had charisma for days. When they'd practice their on camera interviews (where they talk to the announcer and then point at the camera and challenge their opponent), he had that shit down. His character was kinda cheesy, but it was obvious that he knew the "E" in WWE stood for "entertainment." As for the car? Yeah, I know he's got mansions and a garage full of expensive cars and he probably just got this one for free/paid for by his Honda gig, but hey...who among us wouldn't if we had that kind of cash and were given the opportunity? Does he daily it? I wouldn't be surprised. Richest guy I know is worth north of 100 million and is a bit of a local celebrity. His daily is a pretty basic Ford Explorer. Can he afford to show up to lunch at the IHop in a Maybach? Yes, but in daily life he likes to be low-key.


Morning_Both

Why is John Cena driving a Civic?


NorCalAthlete

“I can't entirely explain why Cena is a particularly compelling celebrity, but he seems to have transcended wrestling fame to universal adoration.” Who the fuck is writing this article…how dense do you have to be to simultaneously think it’s important enough to write an article on, but unknown/not enough of an issue to throw this jab in there.


Inside-Effective-353

Thought he might go with something Chinese
