We own a piece of history now

So, indirectly, his own ad he posted on craigslist effectively convinced him to keep his CB?

Poetic justice.

Clearly he needs to become a member here.

lol i responded and said that and some remark about how he doesn't want a newer plastic car and he said

The only plastic that I want is a black card. And I prefer to laugh maniacally when people with plastic cars rear-end me and ask if there was any damage, my baby has more dents than a golf ball sprouted from the fiery depths of hell. As long as the beer in the back is safe, I'm a happy camper.

And I would be glad to join said forum.

That had me cracking up laughing.

It's a credit card for people that spend a shit-ton of money.
Very few people have them.

The responses he gives me are so funny

he tried to join and

I have attempted to join your illustrious club of warlocks and deviants, but it will sadly not let me post. I have shed many crocodile tears over this, and resorted to emailing you my tale of woe (though not as bad as Juliet's and her Romeo).

these are too funny not to post

[markj]

[cbscandal]

Very cool. Hopefully this forum helps him out on tips to revive his CB7. Mention to be patient through the beginner forum until he's a full member.

I too agree with many of his statements. I've been in newer cars and there are few that are setup so ergonomically correct inside and handle well with well balanced road feedback that I've enjoyed in these cars. However, to get them to this point usually requires some suspension/brake restoration and some suspension upgrades. In addition, these engines mated to a manual tranny with some maintenance can last up to and over 300K miles.

My bro's JHM 1990 Accord EX sedan MT made it to 368K miles before it became apparent the piston rings were worn. Some cylinder honing, new OEM piston rings and reconditioned cylinder head and it is still being driven. Not sure on the mileage, but closing in on 400K miles I'm sure.
