Hey JCP! B&M short throw shifter and poly bushings are the best bang-for-the-buck mod I've done to the Civic, so far. The car's currently in limp mode - won't rev past 3200 RPM or thereabouts. Error code says crank sensor. Hoping to get that straightened out (finally) this month.

360 is new and different and weird. It'll catch on, eventually. I started testing it in 2016 with borrowed cameras and picked up the Samsung camera this spring, but I've only posted a handful of 360 vids. I'm sitting on some cool off-road footage and a walk through the Indy museum.

Niro's a solid little car. Kia's come a long way.

The Beetle TDI, Prius C and Fiesta 1.0EB videos stick out for me. Slambo is the HX copy of my little silver Civic DX, and we found the same weird seating position issue. I think I've more or less found my most comfortable pose in the car, but it'd be better with a telescoping wheel and a shifter set ever so slightly rearward.

The 360* stuff takes a bit of getting used to, I think I could become a fan. It really plays some tricks on the brain which might be why some people aren't fans, but give it time and I found where my eye liked to fall.

I've heard good stuff about the Niro (though the name brings to mind Nero of Roman fame). I did not, however, know that it was as good as it apparently is.
