When I met my wife she had a 1986 Legend. Probably one of the first sold in our state and maybe even the country. Back then Honda seemed to “know” transmissions in the sense that there was little to no luxury during shifts. Really firm shifts at normal speed, would chirp wheels into 3rd gear if you wound the engine…

Cut me off, take your lazy old time turning while cutting me off, etc but then going about 10 mph.

That full spoiler protector is worth at least $1,000.

Rust free body!

The Expanse

Live in CT, bought car in VA. They have “cooperative” DMVs so I paid for the CT registration, plates, etc, was given a VA temp plate good for 30 days and went on my way.

When we were looking hard at an Acura TLX, there was a suggested dealer that was outside of our state. I went to their website and they showed, no joke, 480 TLX in stock. Even if only 1/4 of them were physically in stock, that is 120 TLX alone. That is crazy.

2 days ago I was about 10 car lengths behind someone that rear ended the car in front of them hard enough to lift the back end of the car.

I bet people were saying the same thing about VVEL on the VQ37VHR but I dont think Ive ever heard of any failures from it. Fascinating tech, not quite as fascinating as Skyactiv-X or variable compression, but definitely interesting.

This is an awfully long way of saying “the check finally cleared”

It was a pretty loaded SE, 4WD, etc.  Im sure there could have been better negotiation but it is what it is.  I couldnt believe the window sticker price either, its not like it was an F150 or something.

Crank it to 100% so it will flip itself over! (couldnt tell if it had a wheelie bar)

Bought a 2001 Frontier, used. Original sale price (per bill of sale, not MSRP) was about 30K IIRC.

Interneters are posting it all over Stevens’ Facebook page. Google has indexed this article and its popping up on other sites as well (saw it on MSN.com this morning)

I have always been curious about cases like this. Once it was out of warranty I would have brought it back to one of the dealers that “couldnt find anything”, then see if all of a sudden you get a bill to fix something that they just happened to find.

Then you’ll get the techs working on it to try and figure out why it doesnt go over 2000 RPM on their joyride and the whole car ends up broken.

Sometimes social media is the only way

So if you were in the same situation, you would take it back to the same exact dealer that effed it up?

But it won’t stop someone from learning how to drive stick on it!  Just dont ever get it aligned, I guess.
