How a Poor Japanese Boy Created Honda

- CORRECTION: 11:05 Japan Started the Pacific War. Sorry for letting that slipped by :I
In 1922, a 15-year-old boy shows up for his first day at work at a small auto-repair shop in Tokyo Japan. The owner, who questioned if the boy was even meant for this type of business, assigned him to clean the workshop and look after his child instead. At the time, nobody thought much of him, neither they cared, but only because they had no idea who this kid would eventually become.
Fast forwards a few decades, and that boy, Soichiro Honda, was now competing with some of the biggest car brands in the world, while also owning the largest motorbike manufacturer.
This is the story of how one poor Japanese boy, went from babysitting children… to building a multibillion-dollar brand, Honda Motors.

i was lucky enough to have met the great man himself, in the early 80's i was working for Honda Australia and he visited, the first thing he wanted was the Australian flag off the flag pole which he draped himself in and he wanted to meet everybody in the entire office and warehouse and personally thank them for their work, it was an absolute pleasure to have shook his hand and he was so humble and very funny, great memory.
That’s insane!

What an inspiring person...I have always respected Honda as well as Toyota because they built cars to last and to be trustworthy. Like a friend said, " one of the few things you can trust in this world,is an engine made by a Japanese person"

Sochiru Honda was a man on a mission 🙌
Mad respect
*Soichiro Honda
The world needs more men like him!
As a family that owns an accord and civic. I can confirm those cars are best in cost of repairs, maintenance, and reliability. Not to mention fuel economy. I’ve always wanted a fast car but as I grow older reliability is the main factor I look in a car. What an inspiring story.
Hard to beat Toyota or Honda
I had an Accord and Prelude here in New Zealand. The Prelude had been in a flood and I got it pretty cheap. Owned for 3-4 years it never let me down. Great cars.
You haven't driven a Honda Civic SI, Type R, S2000, or NSX. Those are fast and fun to drive.
This man is probably one of, if not the most influential person in modern automotive and motorcycle history. I own a classic Honda Valkyrie, and it's one of the best motorcycles I've ever ridden. I would have loved to have met this man.
I don't think I've ever been more proud to own a Honda after watching this. This man's determination and willpower is unfathomable.
love you
🐵
He is on a whole other level isn't he for determination and drive never to quit! The closest person I know of to this guy is Thomas Edison who its said made around 1,000 prototype failure attempts for the electric light bulb before he finally got it right, massive debts and everyone saying it was impossible to do and he should quit, but he carried on because he believed in his idea and himself..just like Soichiro Honda. Thomas Edison took the same atitude towards failures and setbacks as Soichiro, he said he didn't look at it as 1,000 failures, but instead a necessary process to doing it right, and that he 1,000 learned ways of how not to create a light bulb..I bet he learned a lot of other stuff during that process too. Mistakes, setbacks and obstacles are learning experiences and challenges..if you quit at the first major obstacle or setback, you could miss greatness. One great ape figured out that banging hard shell nuts with a lump of rock opens the nuts and now all the other generations do it as a learned behaviour ;-)
LMAO A STORY...THATS ALLL ....U IDI OTS BELEAVE ALL UR FEED BAHAH

@@respectjungle5119 yes

I love a good rags to riches story. Soichiro had a dream since he was 8 and never stopped until he achieved it, despite what ppl were telling him. This makes me even more proud to be a Honda girl

hi
That's an example of their philosophy.... *_Kintsugi Philosophy_*
I've owned 3 Honda Accords so far in my lifetime. Of all the cars I've had, the Hondas were THE MOST reliable. I tell my kids that they can't go wrong buying a Honda. It's 2022 and my son has a 2002 Accord that still runs great and shows no sing of quitting.
I have a 2008 Accord 3.5 V6. I drove this for 10 years and have passed it on to my daughter who got her licence this year, it has 130,000 kms (81k miles) & It still runs beautifully. I actually looked for a later model Honda Accord to replace it, but wayyy too expensive..so I ended up with a 50k mile 2012 Lexus IS 350. Of course I love my Lexus, but still have the highest respect for Honda and recommend, esp as first cars. A shame we don't get the awesome new Acura TLX in Australia (or any Acura for that matter!)
@@KnightIndustries572 with 81k she's just breaking in.
@@Stuygym I hope so! I’d like my daughter to drive it for the next 3-5 years. It will be a sad day when it finally does go. Even though I have my Lexus, still have a very soft spot for the Accord. It’s Nighthawk black with window tint, looks really sleek when she’s cleaned up😉
@@m.f7979 They just DON'T STOP!
Not only are they good cars but they make good smooth power . Hence all the kids with souped up Honda’s . More fun to drive than other cars .
When I got my first Honda and it was 5 years old all the leaks and problems stopped that I’d had with US and German cars. I was so delighted that I still have that Accord 25 years later.

We buy Honda and Toyota exclusively. New mdx will be here in two months.
As much as a new house, that's crazy I'd take a house over a motorbike anytime, my first honda was a 80cc and you certainly couldn't even pave your driveway for what I paid for it new, peace out love to Vietnam met many vietnamese friends over the years

hi
@👉 telegram me that was epic82 How tf do you dm on youtube?
I owned a 2010 Honda Civic and currently own a 2014 Honda City. The only defect i´ve ever had on the latest was a light bulb that burnt, and my regular mechanic once told me about the first one that he wasn´t exagerating when he said that my Civic engine could run my car for about 400,000 km (around 250,000 miles) before I even had to make a half adjustment to the engine. A boss of mine had a really old Accord and the only thing he ever complained about was that the cassette player no longer worked (picture how old his car was) and he didn´t want to install a new stereo out of nostalgia. Jezz, I even knew about a guy in a place I used to work whose Civic got caught in a flooding and spent a couple of days underwater and other than have the interiors washed and the stereo replaced, his car just kept running like nothing had happened.
So in your opinion mate, who produces the most reliable and mechanically solid cars, Japanese German Korean usa British etc which cars do u think are the best quality. ?
@@celtickshatriya4306 that’s basically asking Honda vs Toyota
What a great inspirational story.
So proud to own a Honda.
The quality and reliability is top notch!
Wow. This made me teary-eyed. Rest in Power, Mr. Honda
same here .
Few valuable lessons learnt from this video
1) endure the process even if you are making mistakes.
2) be consistent with the goal/vision, even when it seems impossible or rejected by others.
3) money will only support the vision/goal and if there's none, we become slave to money.
4) honor the people/institution who have done what you are trying to do in a unique way.
5) if we fail in the mind, we fail in every other thing.
6) the way up is down, nobody suddenly arrived at the top.
I hope you learnt something too 😊😊
I thank you so much for writing these words .
Don’t write these stupid things, we r educated OK
I'm reading this story 31 years after Sochiro Honda passed on but the story is still very inspiring. Those who live for others never die.
I couldn't agree more as evidenced by the best expression of ... "Those who live for others never die" ... delineated in the following prayer using caps as emphasis to communicate the greatest story ever told about the greatest sacrifice ever made by the greatest person to ever lived.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌🏻🙌🏾
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌🏻🙌🏾
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

Thank you for this amazing story.❤️❤️❤️😇🙏
And the CUB design was still used today and I own two of its iterations, the XRM and Wave 100 models, one is already 18 and the other is 15 years old, engines are still stock and was not opened since the day it walked out of the showroom. Quality indeed.
My trail 90 from 1968 is the same way...such a genius man
our xrm is 20yo already and still working great

The Honda Cub engine in its various capacities is the most prolific engine ever made in the history of engine manufacturing. That is a claim for Honda to be very proud of.
I love stories like these. They show us that anything is possible with enough effort, the right people, and consistency. (:
A bit of luck and never give up

As a brazilian, I thank God for this man's life! Seeing SENNA ride a McLaren MP4/4 with a HONDA ENGINE, A TRUE MASTERPIECE, was one of most incredible sigths one could have or ask!
What an inspiring and resilient person! I'm even more proud to be a honda owner now!
Such an inspirational story. Honda not only produces one of the finest cars, but also the creativity and innovation of Honda leads to auto industry. A salute to Honda from US.
I have owned Nissan and Cheys and they gave me trouble and switched to Hondas ten years ago and I have to say this, No one can match the quality of Honda vehicles. Now, I drive Honda CR-V 2017 and I have put 256000 km and it drives like like new. Honda resale value is also amazing. Honda's story inspired me to follow my dream and open my own company.
A story of sheer brut determination, the results speak for themselves.
That's a huge determination of annoying everyone at 3 am.
Interesting story!
I've always loved Honda motorcycles since a child. My father bought me and my brothers a Honda 55, we rode the wheels off that bike. My next bike was a Honda 70. It was 1973 and I was 13 years old. I still have it to this day and it has over 6000 miles on it, I use it as my tranpertation around the airport now. I have owned many Honda bikes throughout the years, 90s, 250 Elsinore, 350 twin, 350 four, 900, but my all time favorite was the 750 four, what a great touring bike and had such a unique sound. Thank you Mr Honda, you gave us so many vehicles to enjoy in our lives.
I love watching this type of content very inspiring, whenever I felt quitting on my small business, it uplifts my spirit..it makes me think of the thousands of reasons why I started, and a hundred of reasons why I should not give up.
true. ,I agree .
My first car was a 1981 Honda Accord Hatchback. Great car for an 18 year old starting out into the world. I've been a fan ever since...
This boy inspired the world and I’m proud owner of a Honda car.
Me too, wouldn't buy anything else.
Chevy better screw your foreign car
@@jerettgilbert3947 If American cars were as reliable as Honda, then we could speak, as for your money you get better with Honda.
@@jerettgilbert3947 lmao butthurt that some forign car brand is beter?
also i prefer fords over chevrolets
merc was first, ford was second but also more like first cause assembly line and its the first motorized transport that looks even remotely like a modern car
and idk where chevrolet fits in this
ik theres general motors, cadilac, pontiac, plymouth
i actually have a plymoutth key ring thing
was originally owned by a man named warren mitch apparently
but as for how much luck ive had with vehicles?
well 2 nissans, 2 fords, a dodge and recently a chevy..
only one that hasnt been murdered yet is 1 nissan and ofc the chevy, but to be fair, the chevy is 13 years newer than the "newest" vehicle my family ownes with 1 of the fords being oldest.. depending on how you want to look at it, its either from 86 or 48.... like i said, depending on how one looks at it
anyhoo, i heard that chevy ran CVT's in the early 00's and now they just started using them again in 19' so uhhh how reliable is a chevy?

Since the crash, I've been in the red. I'm playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
@Robert Domingues I'm sure the idea of a coach might sound generic or controversial to a few, but new study by investopedia found that demand for portfolio-coaches sky-rocketed by over 41.8% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter, I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch, I've raised over $650k from an initially stagnant reserve of $150K all within 14months.

Now I understand why Honda is known for engines and transmissions. I've owned 6 cars, 2 motorcycles, a jet ski, and several Honda lawn mowers. Absolutely better than anything the domestic manufacturers put out. It is the tiny details that make Honda products the best.
Awesome! To paraphrase legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel "You can never go wrong with a Honda." I would love it if a biopic on Soichiro Honda was made. Obviously the casting has to be right- no, perfect- for the film to be a success.
The best 22 minutes spent learning history. And a proud Honda owner for 8 years now.
I work at the Honda Engine Plant in Anna, Ohio. I've been there for 7 months now. It's awesome to see how Honda's products are loved by our customers and that the company I work for and the hard work of my fellow workers and myself make a difference not only in our own communities near Anna, Ohio but also the rest of the world.

You should have mentioned that the Honda Super Cub is the most-produced motor vehicle in history, with 120 million sold since 1958 -- and still in production today. The Super Cub not only saved Honda, but it saved the entire motorcycle industry, which was in a death spiral in the 1960s . . .until the "Nicest People" ad campaign turned motorcycles from vehicles for the "Rebel Without A Cause" crowd into "acceptable" transportation for normal people.
What a great story😔, gives us no reason to give up, after all the failures this man failed but in the end, he succeed and died with a happy heart 😄Just do what you must have do
Nothing els gets me more excited and emotional than Honda having owned a 2001 cr250r dirt bike that was made in Japan and a 2003 s2000 the reliability and amount of joy I get is unmatched.
My favorite automobile brand. Blessed to have driven Hondas in Japan as well as the US.
liar 🤡
The fascinating story of sheer determination, ambition, and an impossible dream accomplished by Honda through the rough and tumbling years.
Soichiro Honda had so much clarity of vision. He definitely knew where he was heading. So inspiring
I used to think the future would sort itself out for me. The job, the money, the family would just fall into place. The truth is that our actions are what get us to where we are. Without deciding to open my first investment account, I probably would have spent that money on BS. Save and invest early, not because your money will accumulate longer, but because it's hard to save when accumulation is easy. This is a behavioral argument, not a mathematical one. I own 3 rental properties, I started my own business and my net worth increased by $830,000 in 4 years
Congratulations. I'm at a huge loss from panic selling then rebuying the presumed dips then again repeating the same procedure am still at a huge loss and just waiting and contemplating. I have to regain my losses so I think I'm wishful thinking

Truly inspirational.. Loved the way he never gave up easily.. he stood again and again...
He would be pleased to know that his legacy continues with cars like the Civic and CR-V. Great cars.

Btw in 2021 honda won the F1 grand prix. So it's not only civic or crv that's popular.
More like the S660
Truly the power of dreams ... The Honda F1 engine has also won 6 x constructors championship and 6x drivers championship. The absolute pinnacle of motor racing.
Amazing story ! we have Two Honda Jazz in the family for the past 10 years, compared to BWM, MERCEDES, VW and FORD, as an Engineer I can say Honda cars are the most reliable and practical cars for the general public. Respect to the Honda motor Company ❤
My first Honda a 1987 CBR250R Hurricane. 250cc 4 cylinder, 16 valve double over head cam. Very advanced for the era. It used to red line at 18,000rpm sounded like an F-1 car. They were built for the Japanese domestic market luckily we imported them to New Zealand. I used to thrash that bike to 18,000 rpm every day for 3 years, I never did an oil change, it never blew up.
I had a few other Honda bikes the
1997 CBR1100 XX Super Black Bird (Fastest production motorcycle in the world at the time)
1997 VTR 1000F Firestorm (Called the super hawk in the U.S)
Having owned nearly 30 Japanese sports bikes, I can say the build quality of the Honda's are right at the top.
My first car was a Honda Integra with the flip lights very cool, I had an Accord after that then the very sporty for the time 1993 Honda Prelude with the LED dash, 4WS, VTEC engine and a neat retractable sunroof.
Soichiro Honda is a legend.
This man's life is literally a movie. Bravo, Mr. Honda.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a movie about half of these inventor's from the many videos.🤦🤦🤦🤗🤗🤗🤗
All our lifes are a movie that we need to live through both good and evil...
Made me cry😫
Is was so epic
Pppl
There will be no other graceful cars as the family of Civics.A rare masterpiece Indeed by Soichiro.
Not to mention the KB1 Legend. I have one!
Takeo Fujisawa is more than just investor for Soichiro. He’s the true captain of Honda Motor Company. He brilliantly navigating Honda through ordeals, securing big deals, and Honda fairy tales like growth won’t happen if not because of his efforts.
Most people are taught that "you only need a good job to become rich". These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
No one is stopping you from having brilliant ideas and starting a company
@@samgerney7213 most billionaires have family that are extremely wealthy and their children, who have done nothing to earn that money apart from being born. Essentially they are hording wealth and their not being taxed appropriately.
It's extremely unlikely you'll become a billionaire from a good idea this is evident in the population of billionaires in comparison to normal people. The American dream isn't real and it never was.

I have a Honda generator, the most reliable brand in Botswana, and the small Honda fit car has erased Toyota Corollas out of market permanently, they are everywhere in people's homes as personal cars, taxis and are known as notorius crime cars too, police are always alert about Honda fit, they are very tough and reliable and uses less fuel to travel long distances, such a beautiful story of very high determination
I’ve been a mechanic since 1980. I love Honda vehicles. One thing I have consistently found is that Honda owners replace their Hondas with………another Honda. And they often have spouses and children that also drive Hondas
Yes, I am on my 5th one
It is so interesting that some of the biggest automotive companies were created by a person from a poor background, such as Honda, Hyundai, and Mercedes Benz (and I know all of these thanks to this CZcams channel)...they become a solid proof from this saying : "you can't choose where you were born (your starting point), but where you are at the finish line is all up to your decision and efforts"
My Grandpa had a Honda in 1990.And after the Honda name was Honda civic.I miss you grandpa.thank you so much for making this video I appreciate it.before the Honda got upgraded.Amazing. thank you for this.
