So shiny I figured I’d get a couple extra MPG
Going to need all the help we can when gas prices go up for the summertime
How old is that Honda?

I was talking about this today, not about cars because I have no interest in them, but about Japanese manufacturing.

Japanese manufacturing cannot be beat. Other products are good, but when you buy Japanese you will never go wrong. That was not the case when I was growing up.

Nobody calls something Jap Crap anymore.

for the last 14 years or so I’ve been in a Japanese brands mostly Honda cars actually gone through 4 or 5 civics, 4 Acurasand this will be my 4th Accord
most of them I just fixed and flipped
but Loved Them All !
Easy to work on and fairly cheap to keep maintenance

So far the best MPG of them all was my old 89 civic, that old sedan was very aerodynamically challenged but it got 42 mpg with no problem although I did have a jdm motor swap with open exhaust, great tires and new wheel bearings

That bike is absolutely gorgeous Wildcat. In my younger years I wanted a motorcycle in the worst way but never pulled the trigger. Watching the way people drive out here in the land of fruits and nuts I'm glad I didn't.
