Some interesting stuff in the yard today…
I saw this nice black 2010 Honda Accord EX-L for sale the other day.
Long time SOTS readers know that I have a special love for Honda Civics, especially DX 5-speed hatchbacks. Here is a 1990 version that is for sale in the area. Only 193K miles!
I found this decent CRX Si sitting in the grocery store parking lot. Like the MR2 from last week, it is rare to find one of these that hasn’t been ragged/riced to death, especially in the desirable black color. This one has a few battle scars but overall isn’t too bad, but is in need of some TLC.
While I was neglecting this blog the past few months, gas prices dropped to less than half what they had been in the summer. This slowed the amazing reappearance of what I call “Gas Classics” But they are still being revived because we all know it’s only a matter of time before gas prices go back up.

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. Continue reading “Flashback Friday 10: The Silver Bullet”
