I prefer Hondas, but I got my start on Toyotas and they&#8217;re also easy to work on. I&#8217;m looking forward to many years with this car, and having a reliable car will enable me to possibly get other projects in the future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>New blog posts every Monday and Thursday, plus pictures throughout the week on <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mech_malarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Mechanical Malarkey <a href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/merchandise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">T-shirts, hats, and stickers<\/a> are available to order!<\/p>\n<p>-Dan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but I finally pulled the trigger on a replacement for my Civic.
