Default My Accord is dying a slow death.:sad:

I was driving my '92 Accord sedan today and noticed and felt many things that are going bad with it. It just didn't feel right today.

The tranny is starting to slip and its shifting hard. This has been a problem for a while, but now it feels that the rear struts and suspension are totally gone now. Now, the car can't go over bumps very well and will make some horrible noises as if the car is going to fall apart! The head gasket is about to go anytime now. With 203k miles I think its useful life has ended.
:wtc::wtc:

I will record the drive tomorrow and have you guys decide, but I am thinking about getting rid of it. I don't feel like wasting money on this car.

Well those things are all relatively minor given it being a 12-year old car, although the transmission is troubling. But hey, it is a Honda automatic.

Probably not worth putting the money into it. I never understood why you owned it anyway. :dunno:

I just changed the oil on my 93 the other day (has 230k). On the way home i got a CEL but when I got home I turned the car off and back on. CEL is gone. :dunno: Looks like the time for some random shit is upon us.
