>drive RX7 for 7 years
>never failed once
Was the best car ive ever had

>Have mid-90s Honda Accord

Has failed to start 3 times in 10 years. Twice it was the battery running out, and the third time the spark plugs needed to be changed. Fortunately this has always happened when the car was in the driveway.

Actually this only happened once and it was a dead battery from not driving long distance often enough.

I just toss a coin and if it comes up tails I assume it won't start. Been fairly accurate so far.

The car still had the original fucking plug wires in it. This was a MY 1989 car, in 2010.

Welcome.

You can barely hear it, but he does go, "Damn German Car" (just before that, the first terrorist goes, "Damn Soviet Gun.")
