    I Hate the New Youtube Layout

    Sounds like every Walgreens near me. "Excuse me, can you tell me where the eye drops are?" "Aisle 10, between the shoelaces and the bug killer."

    1972 Honda Civic

    I believe it. I personally calculated 63 MPG in our '83.... This was in the days of the 55 MPH speed limit and there was NO WAY Dad was going to exceed that, not with mom watching him like a hawk. There would be no speeding in her car!

    1972 Honda Civic

    My parents had an '83, which I learned to drive manual on. It spoiled me since the clutch was so light and the shifts were so precise. Probably one of the easiest manuals I've ever driven. But yeah, by 80-90K miles the engine was toast.

    Air cooled, eh? I did not know that. Were they four-stroke?

    Watched TiGeo's Tail of the Dragon video on YouTube

    You're raking it in compared to me! LOL I have 59 subscribers and have yet to see a penny.

    Not a great conversation with my local Infiniti dealer today. Least they were honest.

    Or the owner. Need to sidestep the service department entirely.

    The OP did buy two vehicles there, if I'm understanding his post correctly. The second one was just six months ago.

    Barn find! Go back to basics.

    I remember reading the Consumer Reports article about the Yugo. It was quite hostile! One detail I remembered from the article was the way the hot/cold lever on the HVAC panel had a spring attached behind it and the spring was so tight it tended to pull the lever back in the opposite direction...

    The favor would have come from Nissan, not the dealer.

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    And every list needs to have the same three vehicles on it: Corolla, Camry and Crown Vic. Well, four if you include the Grand Marquis. Doesn't matter what criteria we're looking for either; cheap commuter cars, sports cars, cargo-hauling cars, family vacation trucksters, kids' first car...

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    C4 or C5 Corvette.... C5s probably haven't reached bargain-basement prices yet but the C4 probably already has, and desirable models are starting to go up in price.

    OJ Simpson Dead at 76

    That's the irony. OJ and his team of lawyers paid big money to Barry Scheck and the other DNA expert to basically throw DNA science under the bus as unreliable and suspect. Sort of like paying Neil Armstrong to testify that the moon landing was faked.

    OJ Simpson Dead at 76

    After starring in "The Towering Inferno", it won't seem much different!

    OJ Simpson Dead at 76

    He must've somehow managed to avoid all mirrors, too.

    OJ Simpson Dead at 76

    Sure, the real killer has been free all these years because OJ was locked away and not searching for him (which he had promised).
