Short answer ... no.

It might affect a licensed dealer if they resell the car off the used
lot but I doubt it, particularly if they have an "as is" sticker on
it.
BTW in Florida you can also scrape off that USCG capacity sticker on
your boat if you want. It only applies to manufacturers and the
original sale.
This came up on the pontoon forum.

What a stupid question. There's another reason to be thankful for

Herring...ever the asshole.
How narcissistic! WAFA!

I don't know if they still use Lucas electrics... but no surprise,
anyway....







The "electrics" on some of the lesser-known Italian cars in the late
1950's and early 1960's were as bad as the Lucas stuff.

Magneti Marelli.... And lucas.

now the ironic part. In a round about way, Lucas and Marelli merged
about 15+ years ago. Do they make a better product? NO!

There's business wedding was about like two drunks tying themselves
together to see if they could stagger straight.

There was a guy in Independence, Missouri, a TR-4 racer, who for a
living in the 1960s ran a Brit car speed shop. I remember he had a
"special" in which he would rip out all the wiring and whatever else
electrical he could on your British sports car and replace it with GM
stuff. I don't remember the details, but there was always a car in his
shop undergoing electrical transmogrification.

was looking at used land rovers to replace my honda CRV which died at
210k miles

the reviews on used land rovers are TERRIBLE. freelanders with
cracked engine blocks (LOTS of this), transmission problems, etc....

so went with a honda element...

Believe I read that the Element is no more...... most Honda buyers in that
category felt the CRV was a better buy.

My wife has a love/hate relationship with her CRV. After her beloved
Chrysler town'n country van with 250+ thousand on it, she decided she
was scared of it's dependability and decided to get something
diffrent. So she looked at CRV's. She's disappointed in all the
manual stuff. especially the seat adjustment, and the center console
and the ride. Other wise she likes the car's 30 mpg, manuverability
and adequate space for no more car than what is actually there.

Yeah, trade-off's but she's actually satisfied with her purchase. plus
she gave half for it as what a Chrysler TC or compatable van would
cost.
