How a Kid With $0 Created Honda - this is the story of Honda motors, and Honda’s founder Soichiro Honda. It’s an underdog entrepreneurial success story with both drama and business lessons. And it all starts in 1906 with the birth of Soichiro Honda, who would go on to found Honda’s business… As Honda grew up, he became very interested in tools and machines, and was especially keen on learning how vehicles worked after he saw his first car, a Ford Model T, when he was just a toddler. He chased after it, mesmerized by its design. Now, around this time bicycles were becoming very popular all over Japan, and customers began to line up in front of his father’s repair shop. Honda spent a lot of time watching his dad work, and then practicing repairs himself. Honda even learned how to make his own toys from whatever materials he saw lying around. Within a few years Honda was regularly helping his dad out in his repair shop. However, when it came to academic learning, Honda did terribly in school - he just wasn’t interested in what they were teaching, and longed to be back in his father’s workshop instead. In this business documentary on the story of Honda, we’ll look at how this poor Japanese boy built such a big company that now not only makes motorbikes and cars, but so much more - including Honda robots! Honda’s business success is truly fascinating. Welcome to the INSANE success story of Honda & the history of Honda!

Despite this, he sneaked into the teacher's class every time and listened to the lecture. He said "I don't want a certificate, I want knowledge." I like his spirit like that.

Filled it full of scrap and sent her to the scrapyard. It blew my 14 year old mind such a small shitty looking car with that nasty Honda interior smell. Could drive for that long and be still driveability. I own a 05 CRV with 170k. Runs like a dream. Every Chevy I've had wasn't worth driving after about 170k miles. And ford's well. 100k.
