My friend used to have a Focus, and it decided to snap a connecting rod at idle, waiting to enter a car wash. Cars, at least in my experience, do things just to spite mechanically-inclined owners.

drove from CO, to NY, and back to CO without any problems. was even loaded up with 200 lbs on the roof (recommended rack limit is 75 lbs) and the only effect was decreased mileage, assuming from wind resistance, but that could also be partially due to crappy gas.
anyway here's a shot from the trip while it was loaded up. It contained a bunch of personal belongings, plus an H22 longblock, 8 wheels, and 4 tires. solid!

Do a little better on gas this time? What kind a mileage do you get in normal driving? My daughter is looking for something that she can put her 10 ft kayak on/in instead of my 93 LX wagon - just curious about the mileage of the CRV.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

And my hitch is the exact same way. Completely rusted together and it sticks out hellafar
I occasionally come across OEM roof racks in the junkyard, recently sold one on FB to the CRV group (they are cheap). If i come across a 1st gen rack, do you want me to get it for you?

Recently installed hood damper struts and replaced the original ones for the hatch. I updated the mods list. Here's some recent pics!
