    I am a newbie

    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
    Besides, there are not so many automatic cars here in The Netherlands!
