Regarding the whole revving, clutch kicking deal. I swear you can NOT break a damn D16Y8 engine in the honda civic. Had mine for 3 years and literally bounced that turd off the rev limiter 24/7 (Afterall its the only way to get it to go)
I also own a 1974 custom/10 pickup and love to drive it simply because hords of people (older men) come up to you in a parking lot with compliments etc. It was my first vehicle when I was 16 and will be around forever. NEVER anything broke on this truck and its 30+yrs old. I used to be a die hard chevy fan, as well as my father, but recently they are putting SHIT on the lots. He's actually convinced himself to get my mother a Nissan Titan when her current GMC Sierra nears 50k miles.
you make a good point, d series honda engines are pretty tough in most cases.
