Cool New guy here!!!

Howdy,

I was looking for a good Honda website for some good info on Honda's, and this one caught my eye. I turn 19 on June 7th, I attend a small technical college here in Nelsonville, Ohio for Heavy Equipment Operations, I'm VERY handy with a wrench, and I've had my Civic (her name is Rosetta) for almost a year.

Here's the story:

I had a 1995 GMC Sierra that got 8 miles per gallon, but it blew up about this time last year. (I actually sold it yesterday as a matter of fact) I traded my Grizzly 660 for my Civic from a guy I met on Craigslist. I did nothing to it, but the guy said he changed all the seals in the motor right before we traded, but the crank seal still leaked. I drove it like this for a week forgetting the problem, and it blew up. It got close to 40 miles per gallon, so I'm back to getting it fixed. My signiture has all the details, and I just put up a photo album of it on here. I'm very satisfied with how it runs, but the air struts make it ride like a TANK. It's really cool to sit in the parking lot and show it off, but it's not very functunal on the street. I'm looking for a somewhat stock suspension, or maybe something along the lines of a lowering kit and racing springs. With the tank and motor being where the backseat WAS, the car is basically a 2 seater. Other than that, I'm keeping it like it is and getting the most out of a VERY nice car. If anyone has anything they'd like to show me, feel free! And thanks for a great website too!
