I drive a 1996 Accord. I replaced the engine. 280k miles and going strong. I could afford a new one but why?

I’m surprised you had to replace the engine.

I was devastated to trade in my 00 Accord in 2014 but it was time...One of the best cars I ever had....I think having it garaged made a difference also.

10 years too new. my 86 Accord made it to 320k miles before I sold it. It never gave me a stitch of issues. Even the lights worked perfectly.

And it was a 2 door hatch. I would love to find another.

But on the main topic, the transmission has no lever at all ? Oh, this is Anton Yelchin all over again.

Last year I made my Mom get rid of her 1985 Accord. The carburetor was starting to go and I couldn't find the correct sized tires for it.

Yup it had a carburetor.

My old GF had a 96 Accord, the easiest car i had ever driven.
I swear the car could almost drive itself...
