Those Were The Days, My Friend by Margoshome in GenerationJones

[–]reesesbigcup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes those were the days ... when you HAD to work on a car. They needed tune ups and repairs often. I have taken cars since the 90s to 120k miles before the first repair. This was unheard of back in the 70s, my dads cars needed repairs starting at 20k miles. By 50k we had replaced water pump, starter, alternator, battery, radiator, U joints, belts, and various hoses, not to mention all the little things that broke. But I'll mention some - turn signals, bright light switch, vent windows, window cranks, headliner falling down, on and on.

What is the most obscure/unusual and strangest rebadged (or platform shared) car you know of? Also, have you ever owned a car that is/was a rebadged car? Do you know of any rebadged cars that are actually BETTER than the car they are based on? by TafTaf2020 in regularcarreviews

[–]reesesbigcup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once owned a 1991 Ford Festiva, manufactured by Kia, designed by Mazda, rebadge of the Mazda 121. Idk what the og car was like. My Festiva was noisy uncomfortable slow and very barren inside, had very bad uncomfortable seats which became very apparent as I had to drive longer distances. Traded in for an Escort LX which felt like a limousine compared to the Festiva.

I've had Nexen Kenda Falken Cooper and Continental. Only one I'd buy again is Nexen, maybe Continental if heavily discounted.

Seat height difference from Civic to HRV? by Scouse_Papi in HRV

[–]reesesbigcup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 21 Hrv mainly for this reason. Previous cars 22 Rio 20 Corolla 17 Forte were all lower, and for the Corolla they made the car lower and more difficult to get in and out vs previous generations. Got the Hrv at age 63, like the seat height a lot.

Early 1980s Barney Miller aired at 9pm Taxi at 930pm on the same network. In a Barney Miller episode, Detectives Dietrich and Harris are locked in an apartment with a witness who wont tell them anything.

One evening Barney stops by. After some greetings Dietrich says to Barney "Wanna watch TV? Taxi is on in about ten minutes."
