Then I'd stick the pristine AP1 wheels (I have at home) on it and use it as a daily.
I have Monday off too. Will finish reading "The Last Open Road"
The front has been repainted, and repainted cheaply
The fake air intakes are not supposed to be body color, they are supposed to be black
Buyer beware
If the seller is not mentioning the fact that the nose has been repainted I would not consider this car

I know full well he saw the truck, he just assumed he could pull out and I would slam on the brakes
That happens 3-5 times every time I drive around here. I drive with my lights on all the time, not just DRL, you can't miss seeing my car. Obviously their time is more valuable than mine

I noticed that and knew right away it was painted over. One more thing I dislike on the car are the AP2 wheels. They dont belong on an AP1.

Seriously I cant understand why people wont let AP1's be. They do the AP2 conversion, change out the head lights and bumper and essentially bastardize the character of the car.

Im gonna get an Ap1 someday. I like them more than I like the CR. Not selling my AP2 though.


ELLEN - scroll through all the posts in the previous page. Cone Mark correctly guessed what was in the box.

Even if I had money I am not big on screwing with the way things are on cars. You would never see non Honda "stuff" on a car I owned.

The only "mod" my 80 Prelude got was 79 fenders because I could not locate any new ones for 80

Im not against mods per se Ellen. They need to serve a purpose though.

Doug, Jeff & the rest that have extensive mods have a purpose behind it, OR thats how it seems to me.

If I went and got a J's bumper and only drove my car around Albany, whats the point? It'd look silly.

But, I appear to be getting on to dangerous ground here and shall say no more.

I got used to Coors L from golfing. On a HOT day, it really does taste extrordinary when you're frying. I just became accustomed.

I don't like dark or heavy beers. Tastes like used and burnt ATF to me. Amber...ok.

Wines, wasted on me and nothing is worse than a wine hangover as once you open a bottle, you're driven to finish the bottle. I don't like all the snobbery about wines either with people using words to describe wines like they have an audience with the Queen. Just stupid. "legs, breath, bouquet, blah, snoot...alore".

Truthfully, I'm more of a Jim Beam and gingerale or Dewars and water guy. They are my favorites.

The only mod I am truly jealous of, is Jeff's license plate!
