Garage
Had an 84 Civic S that I bought new. $7400 f'n awesome value for the time.
Kept it stock and loaded miles on it all over for 11 years.

On a 2 week vacation down the coast and back it munched itself.
Turns out that the water pump is driven off the cam belt. The pump froze and the interference valves said "HI !!!!" to the pistons.
Luckily I was doing 40 in a 40 zone and had a place to pull over only 3 miles from getting back home.

Got it fixed, but sold it shortly after that. Still like that hatch body style. You could actually see out the rear quarters.
