EDIT: This was on Sunday 15 Feb. Ok! I know this is a sign. I sell my Mark in September, make a 850-mile trip and see 13 Mark VIII's in ONE DAY. Who did I see? 2 Gen II's and 11 Gen I's - someone even pulling a black Gen II behind a 17-foot U-Haul. Fess up - I was southbound in a Honda...

I know y'all said "I told you so," and you were right. To the lucky bastard that has my 96 somewhere in Dallas - you better treat it right! And to Honda Motor Finance: 57 payments to go and you can have this pile of crap back! As a car and driver sidebar would say: Highs: good quality...

I know everyone likes a good dealership horror story, so here's one - although it relates to Hondas, not Lincolns, it's still pretty good and it's still going on. Bought the CR-V in late September. Got it home and found a warp in the rear driver's side door the next day when I washed it (was...

So, Kale - is this yours? www.kalecoauto.com Being talked about over on the Honda board. http://www.hondasuv.com/forum_crv/viewtopic.php?t=4786

Wanted to let y'all know I bought some SilverStars tonight for the new Honda. Coming from a guy who had HIDs until a week ago, these things are as close as you can get with a halogen bulb - well worth the $20/side. The fiancee has the digital camera in Iowa right now, so I can't post a...

I was taking pics under the hood and noticed a little sticker that said "Caution, this vehicle equipped with automatic starting system - disconnect fuse prior to service." Call me a moron, but I figured if someone trades-in a car, they take their alarm with them (I didn't get any fobs). They...

For your enjoyment. http://www.kylieandjustin.com/crv1.jpg ALL MOTOR - VTEC BABY!!!! http://www.kylieandjustin.com/crv2.jpg

The massive depreciation, the lack of useful trunk space, and what seems like the entire front-end needing replacement (inner/outer tie rods, rotors, brakes) caused me to go car shopping. I am now the proud owner of a 2002 Honda CR-V LX. All-wheel-drive, 160 HP out of a 2.4L 4-cyl - not too...

Ok folks, here's a fun one. I'm going to the garage to do the jack-up, wheel wobble test here in a few minutes (6 and 12, 3 and 9). I have a feeling it's the tie rods because with the car off, I can turn the steering wheel back and forth and I hear a thunking with each change in direction of...

I had a crazy idea as I was going to work the other day, not sure if it would work so I wanted to run it by the "brain trust" here at LOD. Would it be possible, and don't worry if the interior of the car has A/C anymore or not, but would it work if a person put the A/C core (the piece with the...

Folks, I can't find the service manual for this thing anywhere, I need the mainboard fuse for a Pioneer amplifier, model CX-790. I lost the fuse, otherwise I'd tell you what's on it. If ANYONE can help me by looking up the type of fuse it is, I sure would appreciate it. And then, if someone...

Ok folks, this has got to be a record. Drove to Iowa for the bi-monthly pre-wedding prep stuff. From Dallas, TX to Clear Lake, IA we saw 8 Mark VIIIs. This is out of control! Of course, since I was driving the fiancee's Honda Accord, no one saw me (or paid attention). The trip was on 15...

A Honda with a Viper alarm had been going off for 2 hours (6am - 10 minutes ago) at our apartment complex. I pulled up Plano police non-emergency number, call up, give description of car, location, everything... not 10 seconds after I hang up the alarm stops. Go figure. I got some crappy...

Oh boy... ever flown on a Fokker 100? Here's a clip from the Dallas Morning News, this aircraft name always makes me laugh. Think of "Meet the Parents" as you read it. --- Also, AMR said it had renegotiated lender agreements on some of its Fokker 100 airplanes that are being retired from its...

Man, if I had 40k laying around it would be mine - 390 horse, supercharged, looks SWEEEEEEEEET. Gotta quit taking my car to the dealer, getting tempted too easily. Those SVT Focii are pretty cool too, but fwd sucks. Sooo...
