My Dad had one of these when I was growing up as a beater commuter. It had the retrofit "cruise control" which consisted of some kind of box dangling from the dash by a wire, with this twisting lockable knob connected to the throttle cable, so as the accelerator pedal was depressed and released this knob would twist wildly around. I remember two different times it made me cry (I was like 6), once by stalling right in the middle of an intersection during a very marginal left turn in front of oncoming traffic, and again by completely failing in the midst of a monsoon downpour while plowing through flooded streets. The car also took 2nd place in the 1989 "Worst Car Stereo in Tucson" contest. Despite its inability to tune to anything but the AM stations in the 500s and its propensity for turning its speaker cones into confetti, it was somehow beaten. In summary, gently caress that car. If the NLA shock mounts are the rubber bushing type, you could try the Window Weld bushing trick (common on Hondas).

It is my sincere hope that you appreciate this:   "One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” The story behind the car, the first road-racing Honda in the USA: https://www.kingmotorsports.com/blog/post/King-Motorsports-Civic-1200-Race-Car.aspx Stardotstar fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Mar 4, 2014 |

You deserve some kind of award or ribbon or something. You are an exceptional gentleman.

Liquid Communism posted:Not to mention that the people who would be best served by a single payer system, namely the poor and marginalized minorities, are least likely to turn out to vote at all. The worst part right now is that the compromises made to create Obamacare are poisoning the country even farther against any chance of single-payer ever being adopted, because it is essentially a 'gimmie' to the insurance industry. To extend this epic derail of a thread which is at best topically challenged.... Why do the poor have such bad voter turnout? Could it possibly by linked to the horrendous paid time policies of almost every non-salary job (i.e. no paid time off) and compounded by the fact that we ALWAYS have our elections on weekdays (SUPER TUESDAY), with polling places which close during or shortly after working hours for most people? To remedy this obvious structural defect of our democracy/republic/plutocracy, we should be holding votes on weekends, like the Japanese, even if it would still leave a substantial portion of the service industry with a challenge to get to the polls. However, in America we're just super content to allow soul-crushing idiocy to persist at all levels of government because we can't be arsed to figure out campaign finance reform. E: I heard a real live Biturbo go past my house the other day, it sounded nice, lots of pops and whizzes in the exhaust while engine braking down the hill...
