I owned a 1978 Honda accord LX
The thing ran like a tank, I drove off a 12-14 foot "cliff" with a parking lot below (long story, not on purpose) And although it crushed my blinkers and dented the bottom, the car still ran find.
It had a "Hondamatic" transmission, which basically means there are only 2 gears, and there is no clutch to shift.
The unfortunate end come when I blew the headgasket... I still drove it for a few days after it was blown, but then came to the conclusion that a top speed of 40 miles per hour just wasn't cutting it.... Not to mention the white smoke that would billow out from everywhere (the cliff incident broke the exhause pipe under the car) when I started it
Damnit, I can't get the picture to work...
Anyway, that beast ran after -
12-14 foot "cliff" dive
Hitting a telephone pole at a 25-30 mile an hour clip
Having a truck smash into it while parked on the street
Neglecting to add/change the oil for over 16000 miles
