way back in my misspent youth

Back in the 1970s the only thing worse than a $300 used car was a $300 used Honda, lol. It was my only transportation for a year or so, commuting daily from Loudoun County, VA to Washington DC, rain or shine. It broke a lot, mainly just simple stuff that was easy to repair, but still. It was not at all dependable. I think I replaced it with a $300 car, lol.
