Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rob Lancaster" data-source="post: 167387" data-attributes="member: 6154">Hey Tony; What kind of a car do you have?The one I have is a 1982 Honda Accord 5 speed hatchback. And she's in so many pieces and it will stay that way. It's a great car but I simply don't have the back bone to replace the cam, carb, yup I said carb, radiator and all hoses. Of course the battery and timing belt and all outer belts and seals.  Then the dash board has to go back in. Next comes the lower cowl under the windshield, it needs to be riveted in place before the windshield is installed. Then the two front fenders are installed. Now the windshield needs to be installed. Let's not forget the steering column. Oh and the seats are waisted! All fluids need to be replaced and the fuel system needs cleaning and fuel hoses need to be replaced. The axils need to be repacked and the boots need to be replaced. Oh I almost forgot. Because the Silver Edition has gone where no '82 Honda Accord was supposed to go, "the pineapple fields and mountains"..The inner and outer Tyrod's  are bad so the car can't be properly aligned until that is corrected. Just incase you're wondering, I already replaced all struts. I blew the left rear one years ago on one of the missions, ha! Indeed she's been brutalized, LOL!!  Sometimes while jamming in the fields, the vibrations are so bad; I taught da windshield was going crack brada.. LOL!!!!!   The car has been sitting for so long the thing is starting to rust out again! It was the rust that got under the bottom of the windshield seal that swelled so bad, the windshield cracked up bad. The early Honda's had crappy steel and they were not etched dipped before painting. NOT GOOD IN HAWAII!!! Cancer city babee! Now their awesome when it comes to the steel and body prep, but now days the paint quality on the new cars suck! The sun literally burn off the paint in 5 to 8 years, if left in the sun, here in Hawaii. (Water colors thanks to the liberals)… But at least you can repaint a car with little or no major body work, unlike with my '82 Accord, I should have bought stock in fiber-bondo, and with a uni-body, what a nightmare.       Hey,, at least my back is getting better. But I'm not sure I want to destroy it by putting a car back together that doesn't have AC, power steering, auto trans, airbags, antilock brakes... Oh I need a navigation system too. I hate to not know the course.It's like China in rush hour around here... BLINKER optional!! And if one guy goes through the intersection and turns left and cuts you off,, they all think they can go and your an ass hole for going strait! I've come with in inches to dick heads that are mystified to the rules of the road. Yup; airbags and ABS are now a equipment requirement! Every time I get on the highway I look around at all the cars around me. I think most if not all of those drivers are not really qualified to operate a motor vehicle in the first place. In fact, if there was the slightest emergency at 60 or 70 mph,, were all dead!! FOOLS!!   Oh; don't get me started, LOL! Remember, head on a swivel and keep'm away from you; or else...Ok, rant over... <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin1:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin1:" data-shortname=":biggrin1:" />     Ok Tony, take care of your back too and I'll try to do the same. But like you; I no mo money, so life does suck often,, Hawaii isn't all it's cracked up to be; believe me, dang.. What, you want a whole nother rant? No, no! It's to late, lol!Maybe I'll take up the new Trex tomorrow, we'll see.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f635.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O"  data-smilie="12"data-shortname="o_O" />Take care everyone...Rster...</blockquote>
