Re: aftermarket speedo

I just laugh when i drive by cars like that that have stalled 0ut on the road and think to myself "HMmmmmm, wonder how many valves that guy needs now, probably broke a timing belt and bent valves." So much money is spent making the car look like ass and sound like its farting, and they forget to do preventative maintenance. There's a honda in the auto repairables section of my paper, "1995 honda civic, (however many miles), great shape, broken cam" I called the guy on it as I could use a good gas milage vehicle. It turned out to be, I dont remember the motor he said it had, but i looked it up to be an interference type. There's about 12 new valves of the 16 it needs. LOL, i just wonder how one breaks a camshaft in a vehicle. Never change the oil or what?
