Lol, it is so funny, Americans and stick shift. Over here you very seldomly find someone who can't drive a manual.
If you have a licence to drive an automatic, you are not allowed to drive a manual. So, everybody just get manual licences or better yet, heavy vehicle licences as the test is easier.

If it ever intermittently doesn't start when it's hotter outside, then it's your main relay. They have a cracked solder in them, common problem. If you ever need any advice...I know Honda and Acura. But you have to stop being such a lefty dickhead troll first.

That fucking relay got me good. '92 accord if i remember correctly, I've owned a few. That shit fucking pissed me off! Some honda mechanic at a dealership told me what it was and what part to order after pressing him hard. The internet wasn't like it is now. Hard to find answers back then. That shit sucked! Always wouldn't turn over at the worst time.
I've helped out a few people over the years including my mom with that same problem. Saved them some money fixing it ourselves vs. getting raped by the mechanic.

I recently acquired a 98 excel 4 speed for cheap. A friend needed to leave town. And said I could have the car if I paid the rego.
Needs a new injector or something. Took it to the mechanic to look over. Said 3rd cylinder sparks. But has no bang.

Don't really care. I'll get it fixed up. And it is far more road worthy than some of the lemons I've been sold. Body work is good. Interior is good. Just needs some love under the bonnet.

How much is the rego? ... and we had the excel here too. It was a singularly inapt name for a car with that Hyundai's talent for ... alternative function.

so suck my dick you HATERS and TROLLS

Should a got the MDX for max nerd cool. That was Honda's effort to out-awful the Pontiac Aztek. I believe both were minivans restyled to achieve improved husband toleration factor.

 

[Nugachino]

Just shy of $150 for 3 months rego.
I've had a few other cars thrice that. But, they've all been utter shite! Except for that one Suzuki 800 I owned. That's like the only other car that wasn't a bucket of snot.

I wish we had access in the States to some of your tiny turboDiesels. I'd drive a 70mpg shopping cart with leisurely pleasure. My only exposure to them has been reruns of Top Gear, a favorite show 'til Clarkson ruined it.

 

[Nugachino]

I like the smaller 4x4s. Things like the Suzuki Vitara and Diahatsu Rocky. I'd fuck the back seats off. Chuck in a barrier. And take my dog for a drive.

tiny 3cylinder old Suzuki is the shit!! That thing will plow through any snow, mud, gravel, crazy little car. Loved it. Fuckin jump with it. They don't make like this anymore for sure.

I wish I still had my 800. I got no need for anything bigger. Don't give a shit about doing skids, carrying lots of crap. Or its lack of people moving capacity. Though I did need to put the seat right back just to get behind the wheel. Otherwise my knees were up to my chin. Good little cars none the less. Simple engines. And you could just about run em off spare change.

Shoulda got a 4 door.. I think it's going to end up being a pain in the ass with a baby.
Other than that.. those old Acuras are beasts.

 

[ANC]

Yeah I lamented no longer being able to have a 2 door daily after my daughter was born.
I still have a late 70s VW Beetle in the garage, with less than 30 miles on after rebuild. I'm weird that way.

Reminds me of a Jack Bauer episode..lol

I recently had to sell my BMW 525i, soon I will get me one of these though.

GET A LOAD OF THE HATER EVERYONE

A station wagon?

 

[Singlemalt]

@ANC are those anti-carjacking flamethrowers still legal?

 

[whitebb2727]

Love a 5 speed. I just got done redoing the interior on my 626 and doing the body work now. This winter the motor gets a rebuild and turbo added.

I highly suggest an old school station wagon for your next car. Safety first. They probably had the safest seating of any car ever made


Just don't get rear ended

We just bought 02 Honda Civic for 1600. Runs great but super small, sucks getting the lil one in and out the car seat. We needed a backup while hers is down.
