[@frenzyneering]

@@combustion1476hahhah, you're wrong, i'm driving megane 2 :). that's just the fact. in our climate, with tons of salt on the roads in winter, you can still see old european cars like passat b2, golf1-2, polo, audi 80-100, sierra, mb w123, w116. but you'll never see 25-30y old japaneese - all of them just rusted.

[@dodgydruid]

I had a rare beast, a 1983 Civic Sport, front end of an Accord nailed to the Civic body, metallic black paint with fiery red highlighting and a very sporty dash with dials from a Prelude. Fast little thing too with a 1300 motor and 5 speed box, very nippy and amazing cornering motor being little bigger than a Austin Metro and had sports seats. Part of it lingers on today, the red seatbelts are now fitted to my Reliant Robin van to go with the grey and red interior.

[@StanleyKubick1]

seat belts become less effective with age and most manufacturer's recommend changing them every 15 years at the latest. definitely do not transplant 40 year old ones into newer cars

[@zeroyon4562]

@@StanleyKubick1​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ I think the seatbelts are the least of his concerns, considering they now reside in a Reliant Robin.

I remember when these were new. Cheapest Honda you could buy. Couple of my friends bought them. They were extremely spartan, no power anything. Kinda fun to run around in, very slow to accelerate. Definitely not a freeway cruiser. But hey, it was a new car.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

I am a Mercedes-Benz fan, but the Honda Civic will always have a place in my heart.........and my garage.🐞 I had a first gen Civic years ago, and it was fun to drive, reliable, economical, quick in 🐝traffic and just a good city car especially with the 'Hondamatic' transmission. They even came with aircondition as an option. Back in the 70's the Honda Civic swept the Mini off the road and within a few years the 'little Mini' was not to be seen except in scrapyards!🐸

[@WymiataczPlays]

Was probably still running fine I assume? Damn Japanese cars and their bulletproof mechanics put into bodies made of wet paper. Had a '90 Mazda 323 1.7D, mechanics = bulletproof, everything worked like in a new car (400k km on the odo, who knows how much in reality) but body was on the edge of falling apart.

[@Brock_Landers]

@@WymiataczPlays Oh yeah, it had a 1.2L four cylinder that made like 56 horsepower with a 4 speed manual with a big truck shifter and that car ran great, but I fell through the floor. It only had like 65,000 miles on it too.

[@Dennis.B7]

Well, it depends on who drove the car. It doesn't matter if it's a Honda, Toyota, if the car has been beaten up, not maintained, the mechanics will never last very long.

What happens to all the cars you make video off? Most of those cars are in a such bad shape they would not pass inspection and would need a lot of work.

[@Dacarwhizz]

I would love to know this as well! My best bet is they sell the vehicles that are in bad shape to a scrapper or to someone else who wants them more than themselves.

[@w.farioli1576]

I think they have a big piece of land, a farm or something and just leave them there, have fun with them and then scrap or sell them or just leave them to rot.

[@limpek001]

After getting paid by youtube leave the car in the field or in a barn. After 10 years rescue said car and make video for youtube money again😊

[@general6434]

Looks like this model was the first gen civic from the look (i dont know but if im wrong please correct me).What makes me like the older civic is the front bonnet opening style.The engine is suprisingly durable enough only a clogged fuel line.The body needs a major repair since a lot of rust.Should save this car from scrap since its very rare to seen it around.

Works without much tinkering despite one of the previous owners clearly being the type of Civic owner the memes are about, while the underside is 90% rust and 10% car, yet it would likely run and take abuse until the engine falls out. That's what I call a proper Honda.
