The Hondas were so vulnerable to corrosion that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also issued a safety recall. This was because the car's lateral suspension arms, front crossbeam, and strut coil spring lower supports could weaken with exposure to salt. At the time, Honda's rust recall was the largest safety action among all the brands imported into the U.S. Civics became known for their "typical Honda rust" in the used car market.

Increasing ethanol content in petrol threatens major difficulties for older vehicles… Published: 11th August 2016 Author: Dave Moss Online version: https://www.wheels-alive.co.uk/danger-ahead-a-must-read-for-all-classic-car-owners-increasing-ethanol-content-in-petrol-threatens-maj or-difficulties-for-older-vehicles/ www.wheels-alive.co.uk www.wheels-alive.co.uk Ethanol and Classic Cars… An Uneasy Mixture – by Dave Moss. Do you run a classic car and wish to continue driving it in the future? If so, our Wheels-Alive guide to ethanol in petrol is ESSENTIAL reading… Part 1 – The Background Ethanol is alcohol, which, but for the fact that it’s chemically modified, would be drinkable. In its original form, dating back into the mists of time, it was often known as the illicit whisky moonshine, which was a distillate of grain such as wheat, though production was also possible from sugar crops. Its use as a vehicle fuel is believed to date back at least to Henry Ford’s first quadricycle, which reportedly ran on ethanol corn alcohol, as could the Model T and several other early US cars – until ‘gasoline’ became more widely available. Afterwards, ethanol was sometimes added to early petrol as an octane booster to combat the dreaded “pinking” (or “detonation”) falling out of favour only with the discovery that tetra- ethyl lead did the same job with less hassle all round… Ethanol began a comeback in the 1970s, when pressure was mounting in the US to remove lead from petrol, and some south American countries realised that as a vehicle fuel produced from local crops it could dramatically cut prices – and reduce reliance on imports as the oil crisis hit.

She gets 30 miles on a gallon of gas, And I can schlep all the girls to gymnastics class. Her headlights on both night and day, The most practical value in the USA.

I've got the good driver rate and comprehensive insurance, And she's loaded with electronic theft deterrents.

  • Rationalizing the Lunatic Fringe: Bases of Classic Car Enthusiasm
    Intersect, Volume 2, Number 1 (2009) Rationalizing the Lunatic Fringe: Bases of Classic Car Enthusiasm Derek Tam-Scott Stanford University Each year since the mid-1970s, during the third week of August, thousands of classic car enthusiasts have descended on California’s Monterey Peninsula, for what has become the United States’ premier classic car event. Seedy motels charge two hundred dollars a night, require a four night minimum stay, and are fully booked two months in advance. What is simply called “Monterey” began as two formal events, The Concours d’Elegance at the world-famous Pebble Beach Lodge and golf course, and the historic races at Laguna Seca Racetrack (the “Historics”), but has now evolved into an entire week, and even spilled into the week before with the “pre-historics.” Today, there are so many events that it is impossible to attend them all, including many car shows, parties hosted by local collectors and enthusiasts, and no fewer than four different auctions, during which over $140 million in cars changed hands in 2008. Participation in many of the events, including Pebble Beach and the Historics, is by invitation only, and the finest examples of the genre come from around the world, selected from collections in Europe, South America, Australia, and Asia. Thousands of enthusiasts and collectors come from around the globe and face a dizzying array of options. Because the events are geographically spread out, driving from event to event is as exciting as the events themselves. Cars that are most frequently in the pages of magazines and books are all over the roads, filled with luggage and people, and it seems that every fourth car is a Ferrari.
