re: #213 Barefoot Grin

And then Lee Iacocca got on TV and hectored the American people for preferring reliable, gas-efficient Japanese cars. Those were the days.

My son retired his ‘94 Honda Accord recently. He bought it in 2006, and when he sold it to another buyer, it had over 350,000 miles on the original engine and 5-speed trans. He replaced the timing belt as a precaution around 150,000 miles, but decided he didn’t want to deal with replacing the half-shafts or CV joints.

Now he drives a Triumph motorcycle, or his bicycle.
