Stephen and Holmes grew up together, and both came to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.

The two have been good friends since kindergarten, and later went to junior high school and high school together, and the two did not part ways until after high school.

Stephen's family conditions are relatively good, so after graduating from high school, according to his parents' wishes, he chose to go to his parents' alma mater, Harvard's business school, for further study, and after getting a master's degree, he returned to his hometown to follow his father's side, learn to do business, and prepare to take over the family's import and export business after his father retired.

Holmes, on the other hand, because of his poor family conditions, chose to go to a state technical school after graduating from high school, specializing in car repair, and after several years of apprenticeship, he became a car mechanic in Washington.

Although the two parted ways after graduating from high school, each chose a different life path, but in this era of the Internet, it does not prevent the two from communicating through email

So over the past few years, the friendship between the two has not faded due to the problems of time and space, but has been maintained well.

And especially after Stephen graduated from college and returned to Washington to start a business with his dad, he was even more confused with Holmes, who was already working at a show car dealership in Washington

The two of them often go out together on weekends to travel together, or go to various parties together, or watch movies, play games, and discuss various topics together.

There is another very important reason why the friendship between these two people can last so long, and that is because both people like cars, which is definitely a common hobby of two people, and there is no one.

Like traditional Americans, both men love high-powered American-style muscle bikes, especially at their age.

HOWEVER, DUE TO DIFFERENT FAMILY CONDITIONS, STEPHEN OWNED HIS FIRST CAR EARLY, WHICH WAS A HONDA CIVIC THAT HIS FATHER PERSONALLY TOOK HIM TO A SECOND-HAND CAR STORE WHEN HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Unlike most wealthy American parents, Stephen's parents were not very doting on him, so although they knew that their son liked American-style large SUVs and pickup trucks, and muscle cars like the Ford Mustang, they did not compromise with Stephen on the first car they bought for their son, and the first car they bought for Stephen was a Honda Civic

Because in their opinion, this Japanese car is economical, fuel-efficient, and most importantly, it is not weak in acceleration at 060 km/h.

It's just that in terms of acceleration after 60 kilometers per hour, because of the problem of engine power, the performance is not so ideal, but this is also in line with the hearts of parents who care about their children.

You know, young people are very crazy these days, if you buy them a good car, they can't afford it, but they only have such a son, they don't want their son, after a hangover, to drive out the next morning and get into an accident, hurt others, and hurt themselves.

Stephen was very dissatisfied with the first car his parents chose for him, but under the tough attitude of his parents, he could only accept the car that his parents chose for him when he wanted it or not.

However, it didn't take long for him to fall in love with his first car, a used car with only 50,000 miles of mileage, and its acceleration performance was simply unparalleled.

Especially when starting at a red light, its starting acceleration performance is really fantastic, even compared to those 6-cylinder cars in the 30s. …,

And he is small, agile in handling, in terms of driving and handling really has an unparalleled superiority, out of the vehicle space is relatively small, and after 60 kilometers per hour, some lack of power, the other Stephen really has nothing to complain about.

And his good friend, Holmes, could only look at his car and drool, knowing that his first car in his life, but his father had bought a Ford Taurus for three hundred dollars from someone else, and he didn't know how many hands had been repaired.

ALTHOUGH THE SECOND-HAND CIVIC LOOKED A LITTLE SHABBY IN FRONT OF THE BMWS OR BEATLES OF OTHER CLASSMATES, IT WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE A CLASSMATE LIKE HOLMES DROOL.

And when Holmes began to learn the skills of car repair and modification with his father, they did not lack of tossing and modifying his two CIVICs.

During that time, their greatest pleasure was that every weekend, he would drive to Holmes's home, and then install some parts purchased by Holmes through the Internet on his Civic one by one, and then the two of them drove the modified car to the suburbs together, find a desert country road, conduct a speed test, and experience the thrill of land flight.

This kind of life did not end until the two graduated from high school and parted ways.

Later, after arriving at the university, Stephen also changed several cars one after another, what second-hand BMW, the latest Pontiac he drove all.

Later, after graduating from college and returning to work for his family's company, and having a considerable financial foundation, he also drove the GM Chevrolet Overlord or Ford pickup truck that he had dreamed of, but these models never gave him the fun that the Honda Civic provided him in high school.

During this time, his old friend Holmes first studied auto repair in a technical school for two years, then worked as an intern in a car repair shop for two years, and finally became a qualified professional auto repair technician, and finally found a very desirable job in a car repair shop in Washington.

After so many years of working as a car repair professional, Holmes already has sufficient funds, repairs, and driving experience, but after so many good cars are repaired and driven, he can no longer find the thrill of modifying with Stephen and driving that Honda Civic.

Over the years, every weekend, when they weren't going to a party or being a sister, they would both go back to the old Holmes house and sit on the porch, looking at the garage they used to toss and turn in with a bottle of beer, nostalgic for their youth and their little steel cannon CIVIC!

As two veteran car fans, they go to the Detroit Auto Show almost every time, but almost every time they go to the excitement and come back.

Everywhere is full of modified muscle cars and all kinds of luxury cars, SUVs are either big pickups, but there are no more cheap, fuel-efficient, and not weak small steel cannon models that they used to like.

HONDA'S CIVIC IS ALSO CONSTANTLY INNOVATING, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NEW CAR IS NOT WEAK, AND THE PRICE IS NOT TOO HIGH, BUT THEY DON'T LIKE HONDA'S NEW CIVIC BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE THE SHAPE OF THE CAR.

After the change, they agreed that Honda's model had become ugly, and compared to the trend of the world, the CIVI seemed to have fallen out of fashion, and it was no longer a performance car, but more of a cheap economy car. …,

AND THE HONDA CIVIC PERFORMANCE CAR TYPER, DAMN THE JAPANESE DIDN'T TAKE THIS MODEL TO THE UNITED STATES TO SELL, IF YOU IMPORT ONE FROM JAPAN, THEN THE COST IS A BIT TOO HIGH.

As for the small steel cannon models of other brands, they have completely disliked them, so every Detroit Auto Show they have attended in the past few years has disappointed them.

However, this year, it is said that Huayang Power of the Celestial Empire will participate again, and they are still full of interest in the products of this company, although Huayang Power did not say that they will announce any new cars at this auto show, but they still feel that this Huayang Power is a highlight.

In this year's chat, Holmes and Stephen mentioned several new cars from Huayang Power, the beautiful and high-performance Yidong.

Luxurious, comfortable, and fully capable of the BMW 3 Series, as well as their boxy tough guy series that is very much in line with the temperament of Americans, these are the topics they discussed.

Huayang Power's cars are of good quality, and they have a fight with Japanese cars, and they rarely study car factories, but there are many consumers who have bought these cars, and they like to take their cars to Holmes's repair shop for modification, and they especially like to go to Holmes, a well-known mechanic, to modify.

After more than a year of contact, Holmes has a very full understanding of the quality of Huayang Power's products.

This is a very powerful enterprise, their products, the defect rate is really low, there are very few small problems, and the most important thing is that when he is modifying Yidong, or those Qoros, as an automobile practitioner, he has to admire Jin Xiaoqiang, a car designer who has been very popular in the world recently.

In Holmes's view, he has made an indelible contribution to the development of automobile engines, and so far, the engines designed by Jin Xiaoqiang that he has come into contact with are very unique

For example, his tuning of the 4-cylinder engine on their Emotion model, as well as the small design of the cylinder head and piston of the ECOBOOST engine he designed, are enough to see the skill of this designer.

Because it is these small changes that will make those engines that originally seemed to be just ordinary burst out with amazing energy and data.

So this time they decided to go to the Detroit Auto Show, and they also wanted to focus on the products of Huayang Power.

Because the Detroit Auto Show, which started on January 8, was closed to the public for the first few days, and they won't be open to the public until January 14, Holmes and Stephen plan to drive from Washington to Detroit to attend the auto show on the morning of January 13.

But after the reports on Huayang Power in the various news they saw on the morning of January 9th, the two of them couldn't sit still anymore.

"The Birth of the King of Steel Cannons" was the front-page headline of the automotive industry edition of USA Today.

"The New King of Racing to the Extreme" is the front-page headline of the automotive industry edition from N.

"The King of Cost Performance, the Birth of the King of Energy Saving, Remembering Huayang Power's New Car Captain America" This is the front page headline of AOL's automotive industry edition.

"Comic book hero Captain America" This is a feature on national radio......

On the morning of January 9th, all sorts of news about Huayang Power's latest small steel cannon model was the front page headline of the industrial edition of various news media in the United States.

And after Stephen and Holmes saw the news, their blood immediately boiled......

The 10T three-cylinder engine, horsepower, 125 horsepower, and 180 horsepower three versions of power tuning, cool shape, full of fashion, and the perfect integration of technology as one of the taste. …,

Coupled with his low and scary fuel consumption of 501 per 100 kilometers, the two riders who have been obsessed with small steel cannon models since they were children immediately became enthusiastic.

Originally, they planned to drive from Washington to Detroit on the morning of January 13, but on January 9, after seeing this overwhelming report about Captain America, they could no longer sit still, and as soon as the two discussed, they simply set off this afternoon and went straight to Detroit.

If the performance of that Captain America is really as good as what is introduced in the newspaper, then don't say anything, just drive two cars back and it's over.

Such a decision is definitely not to be missed, maybe this Captain America will once again rekindle the passion of their youth and bring them the happiness of that time.

So in the afternoon of the same day, after arranging the work for the next few days, the two embarked on their trip to Detroit together......

At the same time, it wasn't just the PS dealers waving checks who rushed to Detroit, but also fans from all over the country who were attracted to the car.

If you haven't paid much attention to Huayang Power before, then Huayang Power is a well-known brand in the United States these days!

The 1OL ECOBOOST engine, coupled with its unparalleled performance and fuel consumption of 50-100 kilometers, made many fans who were still waiting for Toyota's Prius switch camps in an instant and began to go to Detroit together, everyone wants to witness the birth of this king of steel guns in the fastest possible time......

The Detroit Auto Show, which was originally known for its high-power SUVs and pickup trucks, as well as luxury cars, was all robbed of the wind by this red messy and passionate little steel cannon model

For a while, Captain America has become the term that comes out of the mouths of American car consumers the most
