I had a Peugeot 404 like that, the floor pans always rust out on the passenger side first because of the salt on the side of the road.
One time I hit some slushy snow and my poor dog Melon, who was lying on the passenger's seat, got covered by a bucket of cold wet salty slush.
You should have seen the way she looked at me.
My Civic never did rust out for some reason, it just kept going and going.
I only quit driving it when I got a sweet little '78 MGB.
I never had a car that gave so much for so little trouble, not even the FB's.
MGB's now is that was a classic. After the civic I got very poor and bought a 68 Army green Plymouth Valiant for $500. 225 slant 6. Rubber floor liners and a AM radio. It was pure transportation. Then I got a new job and got "rich". Paid cash for a 76 VW Scirocco. Put a Holley on it and it ran great! Wore it out and bought a 81 Accord 2 door. That was a damn fine automobile. It was during that time I drove my buddies new 84 SE. I was in love and the affair never went away to this day.
Back around 1988 I bought an old Civic like that from a coworker for $400.00. Tina told me it was junk
and didn't want anything to do with it. It ran like puke when I got it. Went to the JY and got a carbie off
a junker and swapped that in (cause those carbs were really finicky to open up and hope to get
running again). Tuned it up and it ran like stink.
It was a really fun car to drive around even if it was slow. Used it for a winter and then the front shock
towers gave way on my way home from the airport in the snow in Pittsburgh. Seems it was a wee bit
rusty. Only thing keeping it going was the hood staying latched and holding the shocks from coming all
the way up through the towers. It was a sad day to see it towed off to the same JY I got the carb from.
When my ghia's points bit the dust last week I drove my friend's civic to and fro work.... I gotta say that a civic is the most bland boring uninspiring ride on this planet.
Don't care how reliable they are; it'll be a cold day in hell when I purchase a Honda product that doesn't have the Honda wing emblem on it.
Buy Low sell High.!! Win on Sunday Sell on Monday!! Me? I've always seemed to buy high sell low.. and Lose on Sunday Work on Monday. !! But capitalism is still King.
It's been waaay too long since I've been out to a meet, but I'm going to come out tonight, even if I have to bring my boinger. Still meet up at Taco Mac, Mall of Georgia @ 7PM?
