DCH Auto Group Wins National Highway Safety Award for Teen Safe Driving Program
The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) presented one of four Peter K. O'Rourke Special Achievement Awards for notable achievements in highway safety to DCH Auto Group at the organization's annual meeting in Kansas City. GHSA represents state highway safety agencies across the country, and this prestigious award, named in honor of former GHSA Chairman and Californian Peter K. O'Rourke, recognizes DCH Auto Group for its commitment to educating teens about safe driving and for its innovative partnership with SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions).

"DCH is very honored to receive The Peter K. O'Rourke Special Achievement Award," said Shau-wai Lam, Chairman of DCH Auto Group, who accepted the award on the company's behalf. "This recognition of our efforts by the GHSA reaffirms our commitment to teen safe driving and our goal of reducing the number of car crashes involving teens."

DCH Auto Group is committed to helping teens drive safely with its Mindless Driving. Keep It Out Of Cars® initiative, an exclusive, long term, teen-focused, driving-safety community outreach program. The focus is to keep "it" — as in, mindless driving — out of our teenagers' cars. This means not driving distracted, driving recklessly, or driving under the influence, to name a few. DCH's investment in teen safe driving represents a company-wide commitment to raising broad community awareness about the issue and assisting young people in each of the communities that DCH conducts business.

2010 Acura TSX Tech: What I drove last night

2010 Acura TSX Tech: What I drove last night
The TSX kept a big, goofy grin plastered across my face the whole time I had it, whether ducking through traffic on the way home from the office or running around later in the evening, the surprisingly smooth four-banger eagerly responding to anything I asked so long as I kept the revs piled really high. It's far from a horsepower machine--though with 201 hp pulling 3,400 pounds around, it's not terrible--but in the best tradition of Honda-built engines, it sings at the top end of the tachometer, and the shifter ensures it's easy and a joy to work that tach needle, keeping the car planted in the fat of its power band.
