My '87 CRX HF has 248,000 miles, and has been running like trash until recently (dirty carb, accidentally found a fuel cleaner that actually worked) and it was averaging 38mpg with aggressive driving. It's also 1700 lbs, has a well sorted suspension, and drives like a go-cart. Best $200 I ever spent.
I just dumped my girl friend, and cut ties with my mother. I will bring this one home, some day.
@smokyburnout: Mrs. Martin is a kind lady, she returned it!
Well, it's not like the tire is doing much good anyways, with such little side wall. I don't think you'd even notice the rubber being gone!
@M4XVLTG3 makes rotary love: Also, no, rotaries are not as reliable as say, an LS1. I've met many people who lament about carbon build up and it's very particular startup and shut down procedures, and a few apex seals to boot from not being able to follow those procedures. Not by ignorance, but by needing a car that…
@M4XVLTG3 makes rotary love: Rotories burn oil in order to lubricate the internals. You can't say it doesn't drink oil if the car is engineered to burn it off as a consumable item.
Over the spring break I got to drive one of these. An 07/08 Boxster S, with the rare forrest green. Beautiful little car. I daily drive a 5000 lbs truck with power everything mechanically. It was also built in 1969, so it's like driving a boat on rough waters.
@jark: heart clicked
@TheCroatianGuy: But as you said, it still had the Yugo motor. And yes, I know what the Lancia Delta Intelgrale is.
@TheCroatianGuy: Not really, we call that Rice in America... Or Fiero-with-a-bodykit
It's sad to see the turbo merker not make it
@Barcode711: Many people do. As by this thread, and the readers of AUWM.
@rev_junkie: You really underestimate how terrible those older manuals were.
That's it, Jalopnik is fucked. No one has an ass like Wes. No one has that kind of power to elicit so many Charles Barret levels of ass-affection from otherwise straight men.
@LandofMinos, In Soviet Australia, internet censors you: There were indicators on the fenders, a requirement since '68 and soon there after many were lit up and used with the turnsignals
@DucatiChuck: You have Austin and San Antonio mixed up. Austin is full of hipsters.
