What a day! (Car problems)

Oh, and I do not feel unpatriotic for driving a Honda.  It was built in Ohio.  Besides, why should I deal with an unreliable domestic, just to feel patriotic?  Doesn't make sense to me.

same here. most cars from american car companies are made elsewhere now or assembled in the u.s. from parts made elsewhere. most hondas sold in the u.s. are built in the u.s. i have been a honda guy since high school. 1st car was a honda crx ('85). got it in 87 and drove it until 97. it had 250k on it when the engine started to fail. it was tough to give taht car up, i loved it. now i am driving a 94 civic that i got in 97. it is around 117k. it needs some cosmetic work (new paint) and the ac doesnt work (which sucks in the summer in sc as it gets HAWT! here), but the motor is still tip top. cant seem to find enough reasons to replace it yet. and i do like to be without car payments, it has been paid off since 2000. but when i do get ready for a new car, i will definitely be at the honda dealership first.

as to the mechanic situation others have mentioned. finding a great mechanic is almost like finding a money tree. but once you find one you will always go back. have been using the same mechanic since the first crx. it is a pain driving to him now as he is about 35 miles away, but definitely worth it because if he says it needs to be replaced, then it DOES!

I have a 93 Corsica  and let me tell you that sucker has been ran too the grown Lol...  But it is like the little bunny it always keep going. Them cars for me and for a lot of people I know that has had one they are GREAT cars...  I have had a bunch of cars some have gone  because they were just a piece of Shhh and others cause I drive too fast lol  But I can't say anything bad about my  Corsica.   600 bucks>? what is ex wrong with it?
 
They are really good cars and I don't promote cars much! And don't get in too much of that ford or chevey or whatever is better stuff that most people get in.   But maybe who ever you took it too is just trying to get you to pay too much.   As sad as it sounds have a man take it some place to get it looked at. A lot of times  people take girls  as for being stupid about cars. And will take you for every thing you have. As sad as it sounds it is true.   That's why it's always good to know someone that knows stuff about cars to bring  a long with you...

Luxury in Dubai hits different, especially when it’s rolling on four wheels. I had my doubts at first—didn’t want to overpay for the look—but curiosity won. I stumbled across this review of www.breakingtravelnews.com/.../from-phantom-to-cullinan-review-of-rolls-royce-models-for-rent-in-dubai and decided to go for it. Ended up behind the wheel of a Cullinan, and honestly, it felt less like a rental and more like stepping into another world. The whole vibe—comfort, attention, power—was unreal. If you're ever thinking of elevating your trip, this is one way to do it without regrets.
