Well...Hi.
 
'Afternoon ladies and gents.

I'm about $772.67 from a brand new 2005 Civic VP.

Yes, I know it's nothing ub3r b33fy, but it's a ride, it's going to be new and shiny, and hopefully, nothing will go wrong with it for a while. Just decided to stop by, see what I can learn about civics and how they ride.

I had a '99 cavalier before...5g's for the car, 2g's for repairs in the past 2 months, and it's still dead in my driveway. Time for an upgrade.

I sure hope you're right. Well...that and I sure hope I can come up with the green in time.

And speaking of american cars. So far I've only owned a Ford, a Chrysler and a Chevy...in that order. The Ford got crappy gas mileage, the Chrysler exploded...pretty close to literally...and the Cavvie just died.

Welcome to HCF...I too have made that transition and I have been extremely satisfied with the abundance of possibilities.

Enjoy

Seriously...I can't wait. I am so psyched. My first good ride. I'm going to hang out at a car wash and become friends with everybody there so that I can get free washes. I'd go there every day.

Come oooon Friday....and then...uhm...Next Friday...Yeah. Either 18th or the 25th will be the day.

yea, you'll be really happy with the switch. my civ's got 120k on it and still runs like a champ, and i abuse the hell out of the thing. whereas my friends cavalier with 80k has something going wrong everyother week. welcome to the reliability of honda :)

120k is small potatoes... you've got at least another 100k before anything catastrophic happens... ;) provided you maintain it properly.

RE: Well...Hi.
 
Yeah, I'm going to be doing some serious maintenance on that ride. Nothing is going to go wrong with it until I am at least done paying for it. Seriously, though...I can't wait. I am as psyched as a 12-year old Japanese school-girl at a car show.
