We have a Honda Civic and a Honda Accord. Both of them are going on 6 yrs old and they both run like a champ. (knock on wood)

I take the bus to go around I had 3 new cars in my life and 2 years ago decided the hell with it the bus passes every 30 minutes and goes everywhere I need to go and only cost me less than 10$ a month (a few tickets only is what I use)...the grocery store and all the rest is only a 30 minute walk back and forth...so I walk a LOT...need newer shoes more often but save at fortune in the end. Everything can be ordered online now so why bother paying so much for a car.

No more cars for me until I am told old or no longer healthy enough to walk that extra mile. I live in a big city so I doubt I will even bother to buy one then.

We also took a family camping trip across country in it in 78. I bought 78 O-peeChee in eastern Canada, and 77 OPC in the canadian portion of Glacier park. They'd just got them in!

... When you're reading your Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and daydreaming about your T-206 cards.

After flirting with my last venture into 911 Turbos, I've finally came to the conclusion that spending $50,000 on temperamental 90's super cars, was the worst possible investment. Sure 911Ts are really holding their value today, but when you start counting up service receipts, the "luster" of your investment quickly wears off. I've given up the sports car hobby..........for now

As you and I previously spoke about, and I was steadfast in my thinking, don't buy a used race car such as a 911T. It will be in for service more than you will drive it. Then too, when I hit turbo with the clutch in, so I could jump off the line, that probably didn't help a whole lot either. But what are you supposed to do in a race car like a 911T? I had to race from stoplight to stoplight.

That's what it's made for

Some of my old buddies in the Porsche club had some of nastiest tricked out 911s I had ever seen. The HP and torque they were laying down left me starring at the flame shooting out of their rear ends, lol.....if any of you are 930 owners, you know what I'm talking about
