Now that’s some next level shit....

Edit: It’s already been reported. No need to repeat it. My condolences to all that knew him.

“Where’s the bargains?”

Someone say wrecked Subaru?

Have you ever been through a winter in Ohio? I think I would rather be in the Antarctic. Doesn’t matter that it’s colder and more remote. At least you’re not in the Cleveland area. A legendary SHOULD be the prize for surviving that frozen hell hole.

I had the joy of experiencing this on a 10 speed touring bicycle about 20 years ago. I was going full speed after a downhill stretch and was crossing a sidewalk bridge. There was a slight drop between the bridge and the sidewalk. I had just enough time to see my front tire get ahead of me and for it to register in my…

Not gonna lie. I let the video play out.

This needs to go in the header right under the Jalopnik logo.

CB7 all the way. Anything newer is just a grocery getter. In my opinion the Accord lost almost all its character after this generation. Here’s my daily driver. Even at 240k miles all I have to do is add gas to it every once in a while.

Here’s my ‘91 EX manual that I daily when my Subarus are on jackstands (i.e. most of the time). Wish it had a few less miles but even at 240k it still has a spring in its step. I love the lightweight simplistic feel that the car has.

Or a trailer park in the Tampa area.

Spoken like a true Floridian. When you coming home?

Unfortunately, I just made the same mistake as well. Really wanted to find a manual cb7 and settled for a high mileage rust bucket that I overpaid for. In the end I’ve already spent more on parts than I did for the car and I haven’t even had it 6 months. Ironically I still see me tastefully modded 5th gen Maxima…

You just reminded me of what happens at a detail shop when someone doesn’t warn you about the driver seat they just wiped down with laquer thinner to get rid of any post-shampoo browning right before you go to move the car.

It’s even more fun when you are in the back of a junkyard lot with a 5 minute walk/run to the nearest clean water to flush your eyes out.

Funny you mention their slogan. I have a Top Gear shirt with that across the front of it. Ever since the trio were canned I refused to wear it. I too have been thinking that the old slogan has taken on a new less tongue in cheek meaning since the re-launch. So it may be time to pull the old shirt out of the closet…

Has anyone checked the statistics on the average age of Model X owners? As someone that comes from a state where drivers age 85+ run pedestrians over at a bus stop due to confused controls roughly every 5 minutes I’m wondering if there is any correlation here.

I’ve had the pleasure to experience what it’s like to try to operate one of these without any sort of instruction. From the hand crank that will snap your thumb like a twig if you crank it wrong to the timing control on the steering wheel that is essentially your gas pedal, you can’t help but respect what early…

Nice price but I am rather partial to this variant of the 3rd gen. Many good memories were made in my ‘84 in high school while I was restoring my Tempest. Also, my vote put it at a dead even race so I couldn’t resist.

A slightly bent tip on one these makes for a perfect plug depinning tool as well. Pretty much any pin works but the T makes for a great “handle”.
