A lady I work with asked me to pick her up for work tomorrow because she's taking her Honda to the dealer. Seems she is distraught because her 'Service Engine' light came on. It's a '92 Civic that she bought new 8 years ago. I asked her a few questions trying to assess her problem but stopped when I asked how many miles were on it.
"215,000" she replied.

I tried to keep a straight face and said, "Should have bought a Ford.".

You should have told her if it was a ford that you still would be breaking it in

 

I had a 85 Saab 900 Turbo with 255,000 miles on it. Original motor and trans, the turbo and the clutch had been replaced once. When I sold it, it still ran really strong and used maybe 1 quart of oil every 3000 miles. Pastmaster I just corrected myself, it was an 85 not a 95 and I bought it used in 92 with 198,000 sold it in 94 with 255,000.

That's alot of miles in 5 years...Our '94 International eagle has 197k

 

No Honda truck yet (lol that sounds sooo much like my last name, outlaws and pals at work call me that all the time)

If there was one, I'd be making those things you look out of for it. Now for those who call SUV's "trucks", yes they make them. New one coming out next year, we are prototyping the windows now...(SUV)

Nice mileage with that ladies car Raoul, have seen that here a lot. This is Honda country with the plants surrounding me in Marysville, East Liberty, and Anna, OH.

Raoul was about 5 years ahead of his time. If you can call the ridgeline a truck.

 

So thread revival is contageous?

 

Funny, I hadn't seen that woman in five years and ran into her about a month ago.

 

nevertheless this old thread thing is really throwing me off....dang it.

I want to scream repost but I can't....lousy technicalities.

 

I used to resurrect old threads when this site was slow. lately its been so slow so I've been on other forums lately.

It's kinda funny to read Raoul's posts from the past.

 

I don't think that they did back then, but now Honda claims to make "trucks".

I beg to differ.

 

Make it stop mommy...
