I own three 3rd generation Honda Accords. All of them bought on eBay, two I had to travel out of state to pick up. All have at least 50,000 miles on them I have driven after purchase. My 1987 LXi hatchback is my favorite 188k there abouts she is a rocket. None of my Accords have a working radio LOL. My 89 LXi is my main concern these days she is burning oil and needs a valve job. I am not a gear head so I am pondering what to do. My wife says get rid of it. I said hell no. She only has 121,000 miles and working A/C. I am always looking for a reason to buy another 3G always trolling.

Welcome! Make 5 posts and post pics.. :)
Getting rid of a 3G is not an option, you'll always be sorry for it afterwards. ;)

BTW, you said you own three 3geez.. What's the third one???

My third is a 1988 DX with 112,000 all automatics. All of them I bought armrests for on eBay. They are just fantastic little cars. I am interested in acquiring a 5 speed some day. My beloved 1990 Honda Civic EX died at 190,000 miles and she was a five speed. Man that was a fun car. Even if you were not really moving fast it felt like it. Everyone of my 3 G's were bought because they were cheap and cheap to maintain, and I love the flip up headlights.

I would never want to own an automatic, I just need the shifting to keep the real feeling alive.. And much sportier driving can be accomplished of course :D
Besides, there are not so many automatic cars here in The Netherlands!
