Hello--My new addiction
Hello my name Max and I'm a Hondaholic. (6 day to be exact)
A little bit about me. Being a pure bred Texan, I love my trucks and SUVs. But since 1980 I usually drive an economy commuter car and its always been a Toyota or some other small car. I really thought Toyota was "The Car" to own (until 6 days ago).
When my 200k 96' Tercel finally started to loose a ring I figured it was time to sell the little car and get a newer Toyota. My journey started in late April of this year, with $5k in hand I was determined I could find a decent commuter car. I poured over ads, looked at so many cars, I had three flippers looking for cars and then one day I went to look at a Si with a salvage title …WOW nice car. Well salvage title was not the way I wanted to go. Then the quest got deeper.
A little bit about the car. 2002 Civic EX, 141k miles

Re: Hello--My new addiction
Not a bad deal, I like the lip kit....But they took you to town with the wiper blade replacement and the oil/filter change. New Honda blades are around 25$....top of the line aftermarket blades would be around 40$. An oil change at a honda dealership usually costs 20-25$ and the air filter is 15-20$

Thanx!
Yeah I guess I should have grouped that better. Those blades would be considered government issue at that price...LOL.
It's Pads, cabin filters and blades-$128.47
