I have to agree and will add that the same holds true to the big box hardware chains. At one time, Home Depot bragged about hiring people from the construction trades to work in the stores so they’d have knowledge to solve the customer’s problems and respond to their needs. When I go into Home Depot or Lowe’s today,…

That’s all well and good but if you own or work on an RV, multiply the chaos by 10.

I live in Southern NV. I’d visit family in Orange county. I would take 15 to 91, Exit and turn left on Valley View. Turn left on Springdale and right on Chapman.

As a native New Englander, it was weird when my cousins would visit from California and they’d call Route 91 “the Freeway.”

Nope. After owning an ‘01 Jetta TDi, I’d be a fool to allow another VW to own my wallet. i should have bought a new Honda in 2009 instead of that blue lump. It would have cost me less for a new Honda over the course of six years of ownership. Still have the ‘91 Prelude that replaced the Jetta and over 3 years, my cost…

And it is a sad fact that the return on investment for highly customized but undesirable vehicles is so low. ‘79 Vettes will have their day but today isn’t that day. The best option is to buy it, drive it daily and rack up the miles. $13.5k is basic car money but if someone bought it and drove the hell out of it…

I totally want to hate this thing but it is so awful that it is awesome! This thing is something. Exactly what, I don’t know but it’s something. Is it worth the asking price, no but I cannot imagine the money the builder has into this and now they think they’ll make us pay for their dream.

Just happened yesterday! Three years ago I sold my non-running 01 Jetta TDi to a guy who fixed VWs. My wife sent me a picture of it sitting in a yard with many other non running VWs. When we sold it in 2015, it had 240000+ miles and the injector pump had just failed, again.

My spare car is a ‘91 Prelude Si. The first comment about it is always someone saying that it’s a shame that it has an automatic transmission.

Not an Accord but I have a 91 Prelude Si, automatic trans. Until my CR-V comes back from the shop, it’s my daily driver. When I took it from my daughter, I had some basic maintenance done. The mechanic told me the car ran like a top. I drove it daily for almost two years until I got the 01 CR-V. The Prelude isn’t…

My wife bought a ‘98 CR-V in 01. We’ve taken it out into the desert many times. We liked it so much that last year I bought an ‘01. Both are stock 4wd and are great for adventures on and off road. They have decent ground clearance and approach/depart angles. No, I wouldn’t take it offroad in Moab but I’ve never felt…

Why is every gasket needing to be replaced on a 92k mile Benz Diesel?

Here in southern Nevada, we have no need for winter beaters so I just drive beaters. My newest car is sixteen years old with 190k miles. 2001 Honda CR-V w/4wd.

This would be a C & C masterpiece or a candidate for interment in a museum. 214000 miles! That number is “reliable beige” car miles.

At the time, I was living in downtown Las Vegas, NV.

On a recent trip to Denver I went to the Coor’s plant in Golden. I’d never had one. It was surprisingly ok. Many times better than the Budweiser I had to drink at a talent(less) show I attended a couple weeks later.

When you have to think to make a decision on an $800 car, the answer has to be CP.

California did nearly 100 years ago. This is mine, directly above my desk. I look at it every time I sit.

I just started watching and haven’t read through the entire thread. I think I’ve seen two more anachronisms. One scene in maybe the third or fourth episode, I think I saw a 93 to 96 Cadillac Fleetwood. Later in the series, I saw a yellow Ford Festiva in one of the school parking lot scenes. After looking through the…
