Mmmm yes the preludes and integras were nice.  I had a red integra back then great on the corners.  My new Civic is pretty boring though

From '67 until '73 I drove a '65 VW Bug and it was probably the most 
reliable car I've ever owned.

When I retired in '06 I bought a new Chrysler 300 C with all the fancy stuff.
It was a great car for five years but when little things started going wrong
the repairs were too expensive.
That will be my last experience with a high class car.
It's just not worth it in the long run.

Had a Honda a long time ago.  My commute is too long to be that bored ever again.

I'm with ya man.  Since I started driving Acuras and Hondas in 1995 I know longer have stress about vehicles.  Given, I trade them in pretty often but still, compared to others at work who also drive other makers newer cars, I still have less problems than they do.  Hondas are boring as hell but good commuters if you don't want to deal with car sh*t.

My Toyota Tacoma informs me that the book sitting in the passenger seat is not wearing a seatbelt. It is a 1996 with 190,000 miles. You would have thought it would have given up on warnings long ago.

Mine's very well-behaved, except for the f*cking exorbitant maintenance costs.  Those piss me off no end.

I recall vividly driving to school in midwinter Michigan with an ankle-length wool navy P-coat, a horse blanket and in one hand an ice scraper for the inside of the windshield. In retrospect, I am amazed at my patience. Or at least, the patience I once had....BEFORE THAT F*CKING VW BURNT IT OUT OF ME!

Yeah, VWs have so many warning lights it's impossible to learn them all, so you find yourself sailing down the road while something mysterious flashes at you, and there's no way of telling whether your engine is about to explode or the back seat needs adjusting.  Germanic thoroughness does tend to induce unnecessary panic.  Unhappy
I had a '72 Bug once. The heat only worked in the summer.

I had a few words to say about the idiocy of scaring a driver over something that trivial, but the service guy took it in stride.
 
A VW, btw, as proof that you can drive a German car without being any kind of knob.
