I wouldn’t say that’s entirely true. Japan and Korea are notoriously bad when it comes to immigration and racism. Japan is actually known as one of the least diverse countries in the world. The United States is significantly more diverse and accepting than Japan.

That’s fair, and I see where your coming from. I’ve never gone into debt for a car, and I’ve had some real lemons in the past, but those were $1k cars. Sometimes you luck out, and sometimes you don’t.

Then why not buy a Honda CRV? A Subaru Forester? Toyota RAV 4? All are known for their reliability. Let’s face it, you’re gonna be hard-pressed to get cheap, reliable, and different all in one go. I’d just ditch different. First-gen CRVs are bulletproof, and $4,500 will buy you a low-mileage example with maintenance…

Terrible advice. Vehicles in the $4,500-range will be just as reliable as $10k-$15k vehicles, so long as you don’t buy above your price range. There’s no need for the 18-year-old kid to sink himself in debt so soon. Hell, I bought a ‘95 Civic for $1k when I was 16, and it lasted me 100,000 kilometres and 5 years, and…

Yeah, the U of S engineering students used to hang various things off of bridges around Saskatoon, until they got in shit in 2002 for hanging a car off the Broadway Bridge.

Uber drivers should be classified into 2 different categories. People should be able to apply for full time work, with a strict work schedule, minimum 40-hour weeks, and all the benefits of a full-time job, while others can still use Uber the way they currently operate, as a way to make a few extra bucks in your free…

A trick I used in stock car racing, was let go of the wheel and cross your hands only if you’re absolutely certain you’re going to crash. This’ll help reduce injuries, especially arm and hand injuries. One of my friends actually hit the wall so hard they folded their steering wheel in half from locking their arms, and…

It comes down to Occom’s Razor. Sure, a Civic engine, Civic suspension, a Civic VIN, and general Civic dimensions in an apparently factory car underbody doesn’t necessary mean it’s a Civic, but it’s incredibly unlikely it’s not a Civic without knowing the history. Sure, if the car was all fab work, you’ve got an…

It’s true. I was kinda thrown in the deep end on that one when I lost the release bearing on my Integra and had to drive across the city in rush hour doing that, because 17-year-old me didn’t want to get a tow truck. It is not fun.

“Never use your cruise control around a bend in the highway. It can cause you to spin out”

You can tell at a passing glance that it’s a B-series engine, or at least a Honda engine since it’s backwards, and, ya know, says Honda on it. You can see the double-wishbone suspension in the header pic, showing it’s at least a 90s-era Honda. The strut towers are definitely 92-00 Civic, or 94-01 Integra. Once you run…

“Looks like the young man obtained a VIN for a Honda Civic and used that to register this vehicle as a Honda Civic”

Grey. Nothing worse than opening the door and finding a light grey interior. It just screams cheap, yet it’s so common on expensive cars too.

This is exactly the car I imagined when somebody described the 24 Hours of Lemons to me years ago. Glad somebody finally pulled through. Now all we need is a 280Z with a 250 GTO kit.

Really? I thought it was way worse off than that. The thing looks pretty good!

The Alfa?

What, you don’t know how to have fun with 100 hp in a 2,500 lbs car?

Tom’s close, but I’d look a little bit older. You say 10-15 years old is fine, but how about 30 years? I’d like to present the Honda Civic Wagovan RT-4WD.

After growing up learning to hate Ford (my family despises domestic vehicles in general, since every one we’ve owned has been absolutely shite), I was finally starting to come around and like Ford. They were doing cool things, making cool cars like the Focus RS and the Fiesta ST, and now they’ve gone and ruined it all.

Back in the early 90's, my mom came across a horrific car accident on a rural highway, where 2 cars crashed head-on and a third car piled on. She was a nurse at the time, and the first trained professional on the scene, so she helped as much as she could. 2 people ended up dying in this crash. Apparently, the cause of…
