Exploder gone to the scrap heap in the sky

[Spook]

We traded our Exploder off on a new CRV, the car deals are really great now. About 3 weeks prior to trade in, my wife got rear ended in the Exploder pushing the bumper in on the left side. I took it in for appraisal and the guy offered a cash settlement instead of repair. Since it didn't interfere with the tailgate and we were going to trade it off anyway I took the $425 and ran.

In our province (B.C.) the government has a program called scrap-it aimed at getting people out of high emmisions vehicles and into cleaner ones. The dealer contributes $250 and the government sends us $2000 based on the emmisions of the new Honda. So in all we got $2675.00 Cdn, about $2150 US, for a '93 which brought our drive home price for the CRV-EXL to just a hair over $25,500 US, saving $7,200 in the deal. What a sweet ride it is too, just as much power and almost as much room and waaaay better gas mileage. Needless to say we are pleased .

So as much fun as we had in the old 'sploder, we are looking forward to many trouble free years of Happy Motoring

Actually made in the USA, admittedly with parts from Japan among others. I'll bet that just about any "domestic" has a few made in other places labels on them too, saw a made in Taiwan sticker on the tail light pigtail of a '97 Intrepid that was in the shop yesterday. They all outsource nowadays, even the ones made here in Canada.

True, after they pay the factory workers, the rail employees, the local dealer...
