A belated spring clean for the chariot.
The Acura RSX is in it's 20th year, we bought it in March 2003, so it is about nineteen and a third years old, 135000 kilometres on the clock, still a relative baby in the world of Honda engines. It was demanding a clean, and in my mind, after driving the Fiat 500 around winding British roads for two weeks, our car needed a little TLC to not look as tired as it did when we arrived back from the UK.
We have never owned a car this long, and it shows little sign of giving up it's reliable nature, which is a good thing as the current market is a little sad, not only for availability, but also for features and options that no longer seem available, no sign of two door hatchbacks from Honda or Acura.
As for the cost of gas, well, in our little life, it makes no difference, we spend perhaps twenty-five bucks a week on fuel, and we could spend less, but after all, we are perhaps the last generation to be allowed to drive magnificent vehicles like this, and from what I am seeing in the marketplace, the trend is definitely away from magnificence.
