Nice 2010 Honda Accord EX-L

I saw this nice black 2010 Honda Accord EX-L for sale the other day.

The Bomb Drops… F-150 no longer the top seller

Honda Civic, Accord, Toyota Camry and Corolla all outsell Ford F-150 for the first time in May 2008. The F-150 has been the sales leader for 17 years. Your new sales leader is… The Honda Civic.

Flashback Friday 10: The Silver Bullet

Our hero (me) is now driving a turd of an old Accord, and the wife has the shiny new Accord wagon. I had a little cash laying around, and it was clear that the old Accord would not continue to be a “going concern”. Instead, it going was a concern. Fortunately, I happened to notice (imagine that) a really cherry little 1983 Honda Civic DX wagon sitting on a dealer lot downtown. It was in great shape, had the 1500 engine (base was 1300), had working A/C, and it was a 5 Speed!!! One little problem though, they had the head “reworked” and it still didn’t run right. But it did run, and I bought it fairly cheap. I think I paid $850 for it. The photo you see here is not of mine, but an identical one.

Flashback Friday 9: Accords 1 & 2

Actually I got things out of sequence last week. Before we got the Plymouth Voyager last week, I sold the old Chevy C-10 and got something else. We planned on getting the Voyager, so we weren’t going to need a truck anymore. But it had to be cheap, and so I found an old 1982 Honda Accord LX Sedan for around $1,200. It was a five speed, and was in fair shape for it’s 15 year old age. The photo here is not the actual car, mine was light blue metallic. Unfortunately it ran decent but never quite right because the complex CVCC setup had gone bad and they had but a Weber carburetor on it which also killed the cruise control. I ended up getting a “buy here-pay here” car lot to give me $400 for it, and was happy to unload it.
