Are a sunroof and moonroof the same thing? 

Once someone has settled on the model they want to take home, picking out the features they want to add is really the reward they earned for going through the whole car-buying process. A popular game in the Acura of Modesto breakroom involves several of our teammates outfitting their dream vehicle. Somehow, this led to a debate analyzing the question, ‘Are a sunroof and moonroof the same thing?’ This one turned out to be more interesting than we thought. Today, the two terms are used interchangeably, but one of the more experienced members of the team pointed out this was wrong.

Why is driving with an empty gas tank bad for a car? 

Acura does its level best to produce high-performing, reliable sedans and crossover SUVs. Those efforts go a long way, but it still falls on individual owners to do their part.
