Fix Or Repair Daily-Found On Road Dead

My daughter had two Mustangs, both dogs.
They spent more time in the shop than on
the road.

She bought a Honda Civic 14 years ago and
it has yet to break down.

Moral of story, "Why push a Ford when you
can ride in a Honda?"

I can find plenty of people that have bad Hondas and good Fords. I drove a
1992 F150 for 14 years with minimal problems (nothing much for the first 12
years, then an alternator, a fuel pump, and the A/C recharged). My older
Sister has owned two Hondas. The first, a first generation Accord, was not
so great (massive rust was the biggest problem, plus some engine problems,
and generally light weight construction). Her second Honda was a 1997 Civic.
She just got rid of it after 11 years. It was very reliable (only problem
was a couple of mufflers and a set of plug wires) but it was a rolling junk
pile at the end. The paint was faded out, the interior was faded out, it
used about a quart of oil per 1000 miles, and the interior plastic was so
brittle I was scared to touch anything. She replaced it with a Toyota. She
asked me to sell the Civic for her. I drove it to work one day to show it to
an interested party. When I got back home, I told her I did not want to sell
the car because it was in such poor shape. It was HORRID. In my opinion it
belonged in a junk yard. Yet, people showed up right and left to buy it.
Total idiots. My 14 year old F150 was a dream by comparison, yet people were
rushing to buy the Civic and it took me weeks to sell the F150 (for about
the same price as the Civic!).
