Another noob
 

Okay, so I guess I should have posted here first before jumping right in. Name's Becky, we own two Hondas (1998 Civic LX and 1998 Passport [I know, it's an Isuzu, so zue me]). Obviously, the Civic is the reason I am here. We bought the car in 2004 with 80,000 miles on it. Have done all the routine maintenance, and have had no problems until just recently. See my post under Mechanical Problems for details. Have gotten excellent opinions and help so far. I have also been lucky to find a mechanic living two houses down from me who helped me for free. It amazes me how many people will jump to "head gasket" when it COULD be a simpler problem, but also my fault for not giving enough details (like husband doesn't know squat about what parts to buy, never sending him to the auto parts store again). I've been doing my own maintenance and small repairs since 1994 (so yes, I am old) and absolutely adore my Civic. Happiest when I have my head under the hood, tunes in the background, beer close at hand. Happy to be here, thanks, keep it up!!!!

haha welcome to the forum the whole "Happiest when I have my head under the hood, tunes in the background, beer close at hand." made me laugh :)

The guys here are awesome!

^ Indeed we are! Welcome to HCF always can respect a woman for loving her Honda!

Thanks all....this site is quickly replacing FB as my most viewed...especially after reading the "what?" thread! Hilarious!

Oh yes we love to have our fun around here, just watch out for StifflersMom! :P

There is nothing wrong w/ Stifflersmom you just have to understand how to receive what he says...

And you have to understand what I say, I was just playing around.
