She died she died

I cried I cried

Time to buy a new ride new ride


My Accord Finally bit the dust...

She was burning oil like a Harpie, feeding off of my hard earned money with no conscience to guide her.

The Suspension was shot due to a bent rim, the egine was knockin; the car would not start sometimes due to some issue with sunlight shutting off the fuel pump, and a whole bunch of other issues that do not warrant mentioning in such a time of grief...

Recently, it had been "popping" rather violently, shaking ferociously as the oil ignited withing her underbelly.

Finally, as I was driving on 395south today it all went to sh!t.

The rev counter started going bonkers. She was going from 1k to 6k to 0k to 6k.....and finally..finally...she died right there, coasting in neutral at 50mph....I had shifted into neutral to advert some sort of cataclysmic nuclear detonation, and little did I know that that would be the last Hoorah for my dear lady.


Lady, I will miss you. There was never a finer 1990 Honda Accord LX. You toured me to places that I would never had enjoyed without your company, you survived multiple attacks on your life by incompetant drivers, you lived through surjery famine and thirst, and in the end, I am a better man for having witnessed such loyalty.

Goodnight, my dear. You queen of automotica.

Automobile murderer.

There's no excuse for a '90 to be dead.

I `test-drove` a new roommate and then we ended up dating/screwing/living together. It was great. Then she moved out, no strings. :thumbsup:

Jesus bro, a tune up once in a few 50k miles works wonders....

213k? That's just getting warmed up for a Honda. Throw the girl a bone once in a while & she'll put out for an extra 50k+

Oh yeah, you got hosed for the filter & plugs. You need a towel to wipe that off?

PWNED

lol yeah, considering the plugs are right on the top of the engine and the fuel filter is right on the top of the firewall on that vintage Honda.
