The post interesting, it looks like the only way for our cars to die is by a crash not by mechanical failure.

Even the automatic leaned towards hooliganism as it tended to hold gears longer and downshift with less prodding than most.

I like that line. Mostly the word 'hooliganism' I like to think that my car is kind of a jackass.

The basic powertrain was indeed very good. EFI was excellent. But the carbureted four-cylinder engine came straight from the seventh circle of hell.

Every one of the ‘classic’ Accords that I see coming through the auctions has that damned carbureted engine in it. I bought one for peanuts last March and finally sold it six months later for just about as many peanuts I put into it.

Thirty days later the fellow called me back and wanted to get his money back. He couldn’t keep the thing running or get it to pass emissions. Of course, he told an entirely different story than his so-called mechanic. Sigh. I hate dealing with phonies.

Anyhow, I do have another friend whose kept his EFI Accord for about 21 years and 400,000 miles. He has consistently got right around the high-20’s combined. The Accord sedan isn’t nearly as nice to drive as the Taurus/Sable from that era. But overall I would still say it’s a great car…. as long as it has fuel injection.

I'll never own another Keihin carbed car in my life. If I manage another carbed 3gee, It's getting webers.

Oh my God. I found that picture on Google back in January and I've been looking for it ever since. Legend_Master is still around, right?
