$20,000 for a ‘96 Accord is still a much better deal than the extended warranty on a Land Rover they sold to this guy:

I used to have a boss who would say early is on time, on time is late.

It went a little something like this:

There has to be a design school in Japan where the A and B students are hired at Mazda and then the C and D students go to Honda or Toyota... it has to be the only explanation for how one company can do it so right and the others can’t even find the middle-ground.

Not while there is money to be wrung from that corpse, no chance.

When your one year old Subie is burning a quart of oil every 270 miles, that reasoning doesn’t work, nor does it when the same faulty cheapout $200 power window regulator design (VW) is used for years without improving the 2cent plastic part that fails over and over. Nor Takata switching to unstable ammonium nitrate…

Engineers. If a single one of you ever had to wrench on what you built after said construct has been through the ringer, I think you’d all change your tune about whether or not it was designed properly or intelligently

I had an STI once. Cleared it up with some antibiotics.

So why don’t they raise the bridge or dig the road a little deeper?

Not even, Rabbit Season?

Sure we do : Hurricane Season and Tourist Season.

Hey that’s where the hotdog stand of eternal glory is

This may in fact be the finest example of a well preserved turd.

Looks like the knockoff in the US starts at $31,990.
