7K redline.....Yep. Can't beat a Honda. I had a 1991 Honda CRX HF and the engine blew keeping up with 90 MPH traffic in Atlanta on I-75....original clutch and all I ever did was change the oil at each 4,000 miles, changed the alternator once and three sets of brake pads. Got over 50 MPG most of the time. AC never quit....always blew cold. The car ended up dying on I-75 at 90MPH....with 689,352 miles on the odometer. I was hoping for a million.....I miss that car.

It’s a Kamloops car, only a rust spot from a scrape on the rear door, no other places. Other than the front struts being blown that’s the only thing wrong with it. As long as you rinse salt off regularly & wax the paint so salt doesn’t stick the cars won’t rust.

80's and 90's Honda had bullet proof engines and transmissions. The 90's Honda chassis had better rust resistance but you cannot go wrong with all their models. As an owner of 88-91 Prelude's, 88 Concerto, 89-92 Accord, 93-96 Accord, 92-98 Honda, CR-X Del Sol and even the 88-91 CR-X and still own them all, I can say they all have their original engines and transmissions and many still on the original ECU, starter, alternator, distributor, power steering pump etc. They are a pleasure to drive, pleasure to do routine maintenance, saved me lots of break downs and angst compared to buying others. PS: They not only saved me lots of money from depreciation, they are actually making me money now that they are appreciating.

Hey Scotty! I wish Honda would go back to the drawing board and start thinking about and designing cars like the Honda Del Sol! No, I don't want a Civic Si or Type R, something cool and inexpensive!

I’m amazed at the longevity of the undercarriage of Japanese vehicles! Very important for the customers living in frigid climates with salt and stuff. I’m buying a Tundra soon Scotty though I’m not happy there limited to v6 turbo.

A Civic Del Sol with a hitch ? Sort of like buying the best TV only to watch infomercials. If towing is on a weekly basis, a small used truck or SUV made for the job would be ideal. Cheers to Scotty.

There is a guy in our county car club in Northern NJ who swapped the 3.0 liter V6 from the 02 Acccord into the Del Sol & made it a center drive single seater. We all still called it a Del Slo. I preferred my 00 Prelude.

Hey Scotty, love the videos! Can you do a video on performance chips. Specifically the high end chips? I have a 2017 Lexus RX350 AWD that I'd like to get more power out of.

Air conditioning is not a luxury item when you have had a stroke or have another medical issue, but for most people it still is. It amazes me that air still works for the most part after all this time.

I like those, but finding OEM parts is like finding a needle in a haystack because they don't make them anymore and they're not seen quite as often anymore.

Hmmmm; Scotty, you need to come to Montana!! In the mountains it’s cooler in the summer. BUT; in Billings or the plains, it can get hot. Here in Billings we went over 100° multiple times;10x or more, this last summer! Unusual yes, but It gets hot enough!!! AC is important here.
@bghoody5665 2 жыл бұрын
As well as the MX5 there's also the Corvette and the MR2 also had a pretty good run, so I wouldn't say ALL two seaters fail. Honda had the NSX (marketed as Acura in N/A) which also had a pretty good run.

Montana does get hot in the summer. Missoula hit 90 degrees for 22 days in a row last summer. But it is a dry heat. It was so a dry last summer in Montana that almost a million acres burned.

We get easily in the 90s here in MT during the summer. Luckily he could just take the top off. I drove for years without working AC. Sometimes used cooking towels around my neck. Also my ‘89 dodge caravan has the crotch vent that can be opened to let outside air in. Those work really well. Which they still made trucks with the opening corner windows. A lifesaver if you don’t have any AC
