It's not quite a Civic but I miss my Omni. First car I ever owned, never treated me wrong a day in its life. :smith:

Someone on my street has a 4-door Omni that I'm pretty sure they bought off the lot new. It may very well be the best condition car on the block.

We got mine used but it was almost pristine, yeah. The old folks who bought it only ever drove it a few times a year it seems, other than basic maintenance it was content to keep on trucking.

Till I slide into a ditch in the middle of winter and did an aerial flip after hitting a sign. :suicide: rip omni you were more than i deserved as a fuckin' stupid younger person

Where can I buy tickets to throw rocks at the dude from graveyard cars? Not the old british dude but the one with the goatee. And leave the wheeler dealer guys be, for the most part they avoid pre-fabricated american TV drama.

Ultimately, you should jump on this chance, 13". Who knows, it might make you rich?

I really like Wheeler Dealer, but it does annoy me that he basically never factors in the poor tall guy's labor. Oy we made 2000 dollars on this car after spending a fuckton of man hours, yay profit.

That's true, and the cost of tools and gear are never shown either. Edd uses that transmission jack for just about everything, but how much would it cost me? Hell, how much would a full lift in my garage cost me?

They also don't factor in the money the TV show is paying them to be on it, which sort of blows all the other economics of the situation out of the water. Just like it does on Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, Garage Kings, Alligator Hunters, Ice Road Truckers, Hole Diggers, Gold Idiots, Motorcycle Morons, and every other show like this.

One presenter as his own challenger. Gets stoned/drunk/otherwise incapacitated, buys car from Craigslist with no assistance for checking the condition, paperwork, or haggling, must try to do whatever is necessary to turn a profit on it once sobered up.
