Still have no idea how the axle snapped like that. So once we swapped out the axle we barely drove it. The tow truck driver who towed me home took a look under the car and said "Hey, you're the first person I've seen live after having that happen!". It nearly killed me when the axle randomly snapped while I was on the highway going over 90 mph the day before my wedding and made me late for my rehearsal dinner. With how long we had it my Dad would often say if "I'd known we'd keep it for so long he would have paid the extra money for airbags!" He got my Mom a '91 Honda Accord as an anniversary present and we drove that car until he finally sold it off in ~2019 after sitting on it for a while. I remember going on there occasionally when looking for fixes and I'm sure my Dad frequented there as well. Your posting that link opened up a flood of memories. I had a very similar experience on the Acura Legend forum as well, though I sold that car after only about a year of owning it. And when I sold my car, for a couple of years later whenever someone else asked about certain parts, I'd send them my leftover parts which I had no use for since I had sold the car. One was from Oregon, one may have been from Louisiana, and one may have been from Quebec. When it was all said and done, I had three different people ship me this part. Within about two days, I had probably a dozen people from across the US and Canada who went to their local junk yard and found the part I needed and were willing to send it to me. I once posted a question about replacing a certain part and how expensive it was to buy one from Honda. For the owners and enthusiasts of 1990-1993 Honda Accord, there was a forum (it's still there but rarely used) to discuss anything and everything related to this car. I was a member of several but two different ones come to mind. Lots of niche car community forums are amazing groups of people. I'm sure a lot of other car enthusiasts will agree with me on this.
