1996 Honda Civic Dx Hatchback Silver 86k Original Miles!! on 2040-cars
Bush, Louisiana, United States
|
SELLING MY AWESOME CAR SYLVIA!! Sylvia is a 1996 Honda Civic DX with
only 86k original miles. She is a super peppy fun to drive 5 speed
manual transmission. I love her very much and will be sad to see her go.
WHY I AM SELLING HER: I commute two hours a day 3 to 4 days a week and
just wanted something newer and more comfortable. The biggest downside
to Sylv is that she has NO A/C. It's not broken, she just never had one
because she was born in San Francisco where A/C is not needed and it's kind of a necessity in Louisiana! There is
"air" that blows but it's not air conditioning. It's better than
nothing:) The heat on the other hand works great. I'll go ahead and
tell you everything else about her. PROS: She runs perfectly. I wouldn't
hesitate to drive her across country. I have been driving her to and from work (55 miles each way) several days a week with absolutely no issues. She has hardly any miles and
Civics are known to run forever too. I have had her for about a year and
a half. In that time I have put over 10k miles on her and she has never
been in the shop once except to get new tires and an alignment--two new back tires (only a few weeks old!) and the front ones are in fine shape too! She
gets amazing gas mileage. It costs $30 to fill the tank and that lasts
forever. The back seat folds down and you would not believe how much can
fit in there! I've had her oil changed regularly and her Louisiana safety inspection is
good through October. She is compact and can easily fit into crazy small
parking spaces too:) CONS: No A/C as I mentioned. Also, there is a
small dent on a front fender but it's no biggie. Only one of the car
speakers works but there is a cord that has come unattached that is
probably not a big deal to fix. Someone snapped off her antenna in the
the French Quarter but the coat hanger works fine:) There are a couple
small spots where the paint has chipped on the hood and some rust has
developed so it needs a little touch up there.
I bought Sylvia in New Orleans from a nice guy a year and a half ago. He had driven it from San Fran to use while he went to school at Tulane for a year, but was moving back so didn't need it anymore. It was his uncle's. His uncle had won it in a golf tournament when it was new in 1996 then it stayed in S.F. and was only an occasional driver hence the low miles. The original license plate was "ACE ONE":) She's lucky!! He was all bleary eyed and sad as I drove her away, as I will be when she sells. You will LOVE this car. She is special. |

Honda promises all-new Ridgeline within two years
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Despite an aging design and low sales, Honda has remained committed to its Ridgeline pickup truck. Now, in its first official confirmation of a next-gen Ridgeline, Honda has released a teaser sketch (click to enlarge) of the new truck and promised a debut within two years, as previously reported.
The sketch shows the direction that Honda is planning for its new truck, which appears to ditch the single-piece body in favor of a more conventional pickup truck design. Even with the new design, it's not clear if Honda will move away from the Ridgeline's car-based platform shared with the Odyssey, Pilot and Accord. Sales of the Ridgeline dipped to below 10,000 units in 2011 but have increased steadily over the last two years (including 29 percent so far in 2013) with slightly more than 16,000 units on the year.
As for the current Ridgeline, Honda will wind down production at the Lincoln, AL assembly plant sometime during the middle of next year. The press release for the announcement is posted below.
Honda, Top Gear working on 130-mph lawn mower
Wed, 12 Jun 2013We're not even sure they've got a blade of Kentucky Bluegrass to cut, but the folks at Top Gear have gone ahead and started building what will become, if they're successful, the world's fastest lawn mower. Actually, it appears Top Gear is not doing much of the design and assembly work at all, instead having solicited help from experts at Honda and Team Dynamics, which oversees the automaker's touring car efforts.
What the three are working on is a riding lawnmower with a 110-hp engine that can reach 60 miles per hour in four seconds and trim turf at speeds up to 130 mph. If they succeed, such a maximum velocity would put them well ahead of the current record for the world's fastest lawnmower, which is 96.529 mph set by Bobby Cleveland and his Snapper race mower at the Bonneville Salt Flats in September of 2010. Top Gear hasn't said whether or not it will officially go after Cleveland's record, but the build will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Top Gear magazine and is scheduled to be completed by June 17, so we may learn what this maniacal mower's true purpose is then.
According to TG's report on how the build is going, as well as the video of it being fired up (literally) for the first time below, there aren't many actual mower parts left on this machine. What started out as a Honda HF2620 mower now sports wheels and tires from a racing quad, a back axle from a go-kart, a steering rack from a Morris Minor and a 1000cc engine from a Honda VTR1000F sport bike. All that remains from the original mower are the pedals and body panels; even the steel cutting deck has been replaced with a lighter fiberglass version. And blades? This mower will be bladeless, instead using two electric motors to spin lengths of brake cable like a weed whacker.
Marchionne now considering 'Plan B' partners for FCA merger
Thu, Jun 11 2015Okay Sergio, just stop. With the sting of rejection from General Motors CEO Mary Barra still fresh, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne is moving on and trying to find another automaker to merge with. FCA may not be giving up hope on a merger with GM, but that doesn't mean it isn't at least considering alternatives. Sergio's so-called "Plan Bs" include the Volkswagen Group, as well as smaller Asian outfits, like Mazda, Honda, Suzuki, and Hyundai. Bloomberg reports that France's beleaguered PSA Peugeot Citroen could as a sort of "fallback" option due to its relative lack of volume, an unidentified source claimed. There are, of course, problems with each option. According to Bloomberg, Volkswagen expects complete control of a company, but the Agnelli family, which holds a large portion of FCA stock, is loathe to relinquish its stake in the company. On top of that, VAG just isn't looking to make a deal right now. Mazda, meanwhile, is enjoying a new partnership with Toyota and Suzuki is partially owned by VW. Honda and Hyundai have never expressed any interest in a partnership with a western automaker. That kind of just leaves the French then, but even that remains a long shot. As Bloomberg tells it, PSA boss Carlos Tavares is still working on a turn-around plan, and would want at least another six months to execute before even considering a deal with FCA. And even then, Tavares hasn't given any indication that he's considering a pairing.
