I'd be upset, but I wouldn't blame myself as it would probably not be the fault
of an unsafe car, but the circumstances of the accident, speed, etc.

Rubber hoses, muh man. Keep a steady supply of rubber hoses within reach at

persistent, and they bite, too. Nasty vermin.

OK - the mini-van isn't quite as bad as an SUV, so maybe I'm off the
hook? Anyway, after 75% of the kids left home, I tried to tell my wife
that she didn't need it anymore - that I needed a pickup instead. She
didn't buy that argument - so I used her mini-van to haul an M117
engine home from MN,
You know a friend of mine upgraded his wife to a 2003 C320 wagon,
because
(a) it was nicer than *any* new car they looked at, and they looked
at everything over a two week period.
(b) she wanted something a bit more sporty than the mini-van she had
the last 5 years.
(c) he later found it
On that point, it'll BARELY bump start the tractor. To pull start a
Farmall Super M farm tractor we really should have a full size
pickup...
Use a higher gear on the tractor. I believe we always pull-started
our Farmall 200 in third.

I think the original question was about the Acura.
My '89 Integra was a DAMN'd fine car. I'd buy an Integra sight-unseen if
only on my own experience with the company and the cars' reputations.
My ex family (ex and two kids) drive only Honda, and have had no
disappointments. Runs the gambit

Oh and reminding the wife to EASE the truck into the load and not just take
off. She's snapped more tow straps that way...

Cheap Mercedes knock-off. I've met your wife - she deserves better.

Kap. Japanese car leather is inferior. It has a cheap feel to it and
does not age well. If I were to buy Japanese, which I wouldn't, it would be
an econobox. I'll leave the luxury to Mercedes. Nobody's wife, actually
nobody, deserves to drive an inferior, and unsafe car.

That made me laugh, Don. Good way to start out the morning. The funny
thing is she drives a 1997 Explorer and loves it. I have not been able
to talk her out of it. That is until a friend of ours told

In my case, you are NOT making it up the driveway to get out in the winter
without four wheel drive. Repairing the driveway until rainy season is
over is a waste of time, and it's too long for paving it to be cost
effective, especially with the heavy stuff I tend to drag around on a
trailer. A

Anyone know anything about the Acura Legend. I am looking at a 1995
Acura Legend (with 90,000 miles) for my wife. It is cosmetically
perfect condition. Paint is perfect, leather seats are REALLY nice. I
have not gotten to drive it or even here it run yet. The Legend is the
bigger of the Acuras
They're awesome cars - handle well (not as well as a 124, but you're not
paying MB prices either), good mileage, very reliable. Esp. the later model
years. Watch out for rear wheel well rust (bane of Honda/Acura) and make
sure the timing belt was changed every 90Kmi.
In other words, have the
