Hondas of that vintage had appalingly bad paint. There are still quite a few 00-06's Civics and Accords on the road and all of them seem to have at least clear coat peeling on the hood and roof. I've seen a few 05-06's down to bare metal on the roof. Green and gray seem to be the worst with black not too far behind.
1995 Windstar bought new. Stranded me too many times to count. In the shop as much as it was on the road while it was under warranty. 3 transmissions in 50k. At least 2 starter motors.

I remember this from a certain message board back in the day. The idea was that CAPTCHA was using scanned words from a large out-of-copyright book-scanning project that OCR wasn't recognizing due to faded letters, warped pages, etc. Basically they didn't even know what the second word was and they were using free…
Pretty sure this was a Suzuki motor in a Suzuki car that GM rebadged, not a GM design.
