It should be the other driver's insurance paying, or if they don't have it, he should be paying out of pocket. At least that's how it works in the US.
EDIT: Didn't see that you got blamed. That's seriously not right, given what you've told us. I would fight that tooth and nail.
So, are you ferrying around kids or animals, want to load it up with heaps of stuff, or is this a 98% of the time a single person commute vehicle?
I'm probably going to go to court for it, even to just get the points removed or something, but it's pretty much impossible to prove anything, there were no cameras pointing at the road (I asked).
Witnesses? Exact time of accident (check against light cycles)? If you can prove that you didn't run a red then that proves he did.
You must have different Civics in Belgium :lol: Torque steer? From a stock Civic? Rust and leak? My friend just picked up another 88 CRX and its completely rust-free Suspension and tires are terrible on most stock cars but luckily those are easy to remedy. Also, I know from experience that a CRX (albeit with aftermarket suspension) does just fine at triple-digit speeds.
No, they do rust, but the problem isn't nearly as bad as some members make it out to be All old cars rust but Hondas aren't ones to fall apart from it.Hang on you are in Mass and you are saying Civics, well all hondas, from the 80s through mid 90s don't rust?

Hahaha no, I spent a while cleaning up a major flamefest on my forum last night and I'm not in the mood to deal with another one.I fear I may have started an e-war @_@.
I always suggest W201 190E's- which can be had with manual transmissions. There's also your typical E30 318i's that get good mileage, CRXs (if you can find decent ones), older model Ranger and Nissan pick ups, Saab 900s, some vintage diesel W123 240D's had sticks...there's quite a variety out there in addition to what you already have listed.
Wait, what?Hell, the engine in a 900 is backwards - flywheel first.
Wait, what?
Like its predecessor the 99, the 900 contained a number of unusual design features that distinguish it from most other cars. Firstly, the engine was installed 'backwards', with power delivered from the crank at the front of the car. Secondly, the transmission, technically a transaxle, bolted directly to the bottom of the engine to form the oil pan (albeit with separate oil lubrication). Power from the crank would thus be delivered out of the engine at the front, then transferred down and back to the transmission below, via a set of chain-driven primary gears.
Don't we have some 900 owners that have rust issues?

That said, Saabs are nightmarishly bad to work on and parts are anything but cheap.
