The Civic is Gone

Well I know I havent been around lately but thought I would say HI and let you all know I just got rid of the Civic. After tons of problems it just wasnt worth the headaches anymore. So here is my new ride, an 05 Chevy Trailblazer LS. I got it the week before Christmas and love it. The only downside is the gas milage, but I knew what I was getting into when I bought it and have no regrets at all.

Congrats on the new vehicle. Hope it works out better for you.

I am curious though, what sorts of things were going wrong with your civic? What year and what kind of mileage?

It was an 01 LX with 75K miles. I was on my third trans, also 2 alternators, a starter, 2 set of front struts, 2 driver side door actuators and 1 on the passenger side. Also the passenger side power window motor. Those were the major things, there were a lot of little things also. I was sick of fighting with honda, they refused to say it was a lemon so I had enough.

If you've switched to domestics?

Maybe get her an SRT-4. If she can drive stick, it would be a fun car to own. Lots of upgrades out there, and good power. Get her somthing you can enjoy as well.

Yo Homey-

Looks good, is that the LT model? No leather or anything right??? My mother-in-law has an LT and they're nice. The LTZ's are way too big.

Good to see your still around, hit me up sometime.

DMAN
