Good one chris! I know enough that your 1.8t engine in your dub is a small ass POS motor. And your 800$ CRX that your ghetto rigging with walmart paint and its shitty ass non vtec motor that has 400,000 miles on it is shit, but I don’t know anything I guess.

Nothing special about that car at all) Watch it bro :skid:skid (granted any CRX motor is “good” technically speaking, considering they last forever, but still.

Well the CRX has been out & about getting me to & from Selkirk everyday for the past 2 weeks like a boss. I got just under 37 mpg out of the 1st tank & that was with doing some clutch dumps & driving like an @$$hole. Speaking of which, Easter morning coming home from work I got this old car up to 95 mph! Cost me an insane 35 dollars to fill the ol’ girl up, loving it. Every day somebody stops and asks me either if the car is for sale, what I get for mileage or where I found it. I get more attention in this than any of the cars I have ever owned haha. I had those old 15 inch steelies laying in my garage so my buddy offered me a set of Greddy headers in exchange for rusty steelies with shot tires. Couldn’t say no. Now it’s just finding time to do them. Mod wise she’s done, I may do a short throw shifter & get some 13 inch hx rims down the road but that’s all up in the air. For now, just gonna run her & enjoy the smiles people give me. ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/headers001.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/headers001.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-bought-a-honda-dear-lord-what-am-i-doing/262961.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-bought-a-honda-dear-lord-what-am-i-doing/262961.md?page=4)
