Paint has faded and worn away on roof over time - normal.
272000 MILES AND YOU ONLY SAW FIT TO GIVE IT 15 WORDS???
What about all that saved mileage? 272k divided by about 45 mpg is equal to 6,000 gallons. Compare that to 10,900 gallons you would have consumed in a typical midsized car that gets 25 mpg. Your savings amounted to about $12,000 in gas alone.
How about the cheap parts? Or the low insurance costs? How about the ability to get about $2500 for it after it's been driven all that time? Most cars would be worth maybe $1000 at this point.
You owe it to your car, your country, and you own conscience to write more about this glorious frugal creation. Without your insight, how can we convert the heathen masses from the untamed realm of SUV's?
45 mpg is a nice fantasy, but the 92 Civic only gets 33 mpg. My '03 heavier, more powerful 2003 Chevy Cavalier with Ecotec engine and higher EGR flow (due to more stringent federal NOX regulations in later years) does better. In terms of power vs. weight/economy, These Japanese cars are not as efficient as people think they are.
