Dexter how many miles? Lemme know how the head gasket holds up. Congrats on the car and job man.

Let me know when you're going to be back in town, and let me know if you're up for any road trips this year.

130k - dont really care how the head gasket holds up.. its cake work on that car, i could probably have it done in an hour or so. It needs a little exhaust work, its not loud but you can hear it leaking a little right under the motor where the flex pipe is. So i think im going to save some money and put some long tube headers on it - i found a site that has em cheap.. cheaper than factory set up in fact. theres a few things i wanna do to it.. but itll be a little while

Cool, congrats on the ride.

I ended up getting a Honda Civic, but I got a bum deal.

yeah, iv kinda been keeping up on your posts about the ol Hondo.. you havent really said about any problems youv been having. Wokring at Honda - iv definately grown to appreciate what good cars they can be. Honda is amazing when it comes to engine machining.. but other than that, transmissions:junk anything else, emissions - wiring - computers, they arent anything special - theyre just the same if not worse than any other cars. but i see more cars come in here with 200+ on the odometer.. but the trick is - theyve already gone through a transmission, EGR problems - all sorts of things like that. too bad you got a bum deal though

yeah he definitely didn't mean that people didn't read, just that I was the only person interested in the car's engine specifically ;)

"Life seems to be looking up "- where did this optimism come from? i believe i might, just maybe, just a little bit rubbing off on you?
