Xeryon Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Umm, dude? What crawled up your ass? His question was how we got into Honda's, not why I still own it. My car had 4 doors, 97 hp and rust holes big enough for your foot to fit in. When I bought it I didn't own a wrench. How would I have known what any car could do? When you know nothing about cars all you can do is buy your speed and I was broke. I certainly could have done scads better had I had more then 2 nickels to rub together, at the very least, I would have got a Prelude or an S.
