Still got the same piece of shit as last year. 1997 Civic EX 5spd on Michelin X-Ice. Bought the bitch for $500 I’ve put 30,000kms on it so far and haven’t put a dime into it beside oil changes. And I have literally beaten the fuckin hell out of it. - Been to Sault St. Marie averaging 6.5l/100km - Been to Ottawa averaging 6l/100km - Towed the kouki, 3 men over 200lbs, and 12 rims with tires 60kms from Shannonville to be within CAA 200km range - Tows the seadoo - Tows Uhaul trailers full of shit from home renos - 500sqft of Hard wood flooring inside the car - I’ve have had 10 4x8 sheets of drywall on the roof rack And seriously a ton of other shit, I should really put a list together. ![http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/djdoublep/photo.jpg](http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/djdoublep/photo.jpg) ![http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/djdoublep/photo1.jpg](http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/djdoublep/photo1.jpg) ![http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/djdoublep/photo2.jpg](http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/djdoublep/photo2.jpg) I’m so pleased with this car we just bought a 2012 EX for the wife. ---
