Regarding Honda, I owned a 1990 Accord sedan and 2000 Accord coupe, and helped my parents buy a 2002 Accord sedan which they still daily. I also owned a few shares Honda stock.

Whatever her reasoning, she correctly identified that the person is, indeed, a fucking idiot.

I was in my teens when this aired, and it did have an effect. The scenes I most remember, however, aren’t those of explosions nor the more graphic depictions of the aftermath. Rather, I more clearly remember the characters watching the missiles launch, realizing that it’s actually happening, and life as they know it…

Get a garage. Fill it with:

A while back I had to do a life rebuild after a layoff, nasty hiking accident, botched surgery, old car’s engine needing a rebuild, and life in general biting ungulates. I happened to find an Accord Coupe for a good price. Despite its being an Accord, not many people seemed to want a four cylinder midsize coupe, so I…

I can’t answer as I’ve never owned one, either, but have always wanted to take a roadtrip to the American Southwest and cruise through the desert, soaking up the sun in a convertible. I almost bought one, once, when I was 16, as my uncle restored vintage Mustangs and had a line on a good deal for a ‘66. I didn’t even…

Next time add Knightriders for a triple feature.

So do I. There’s a lot of cynicism in these comments, but in 2012 I test drove every car I could find that I felt would be a reliable, somewhat engaging, year-round fairly long distance commuter with a manual transmission. I was probably as surprised as anyone that I wound up buying a Mazda 3, especially as I had been…

I’ve always wanted a dark green sports (or at least sporty car), especially “British Racing Green,” because even saying those words makes me feel somewhat cool. But the fickle color palate of public opinion has made it difficult.

Since we’re thinking what kind of car shopping we could do with that kind of money, Carmax has a slew of fairly low mileage S2000s for $26-28K. It may be marginally more impractical than that Civic Type R, but I’ll guess that an S2000 at least comes close to it for fun and engagement, and you don’t have to feel…

Recently I helped my parents list a 4Runner for sale. I was astounded by how many people asked if we’d take x amount per month or week. So, at least in the area in which I live, a whole lot of people expect that.

How about a Mazdaspeed 3, if you can find one that hasn’t been badly abused? I’m not sure what insurance would be on one, however.

Oh, man. My first car—for a week—was a brown AMC Matador. A friend of my dad’s was selling it, so I got it with the provision that I could return it after a week or so. The thing rattled everywhere, the headlights pointed in two different but similarly useless directions, and the wipers would turn on or off when going…

Also my first thought. My sister had one. Although I would have never admitted this at the time, It was more fun to drive and an all around better car than my much more powerful ex-police Plymouth. I think she sold the Toyota for parts after an accident.

I think the sixth paragraph sounds a bit too much like the police beat Boos’ head against the patrol car. I suggest adding a “he” and removing an earlier comma:

So she’s been paying for the vehicle for two years but still owes more than its value? I think another issue here is the failure of a significant portion of the populace to understand the risks of very long term loans. However, I also think someone at the city level should be willing to give the owner a break and…

So the ticket was issued by camera and mail rather than being handed to her by an officer? If so I’m going to take a wild guess that this lady’s grandson will be more than happy drive her anywhere she likes for the next few months, as her taking the rap saved him a whole lot of grief.

The Legacy GT wagon wasn’t far off from this idea, but hardly anyone bought one. Although the US public, at least, seems generally appalled by wagons but in love with crossovers, so maybe this would work.

Personally, seeing Musk tweet that he likes floors the other day and get 56K likes concerned me as a very, very, minor, minuscule stockholder. I’m a little wary of CEOs with cultlike followings.

It doesn’t seem all that long ago that people predicted “manufacturing on demand” would soon be commonplace, often using cars as an example. They thought we’d be able to pick the exact engine, transmission, features, color, nearly everything we’d want, and the factory would make it. But instead we’re moving more…
