Please someone stage an intervention for her. If she cant find a buyer for the bling wheels, she wants to powdercoat them Suzuka and put them on the car. Me thinks that will make it blingier in a hello kitty way
Yes, please someone buy my freaking wheels hey dude, would they work on my Fit Word!

Someone go warn the Fit community. Having failed at selling them to the Civic guys, she is now targeting the Fit community

an HPD CR-Z will be part of an exhibit at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will also do laps of the circuit

oh! I forgot to add this. The highlight of Saturday's drive to Lime Rock Park was all the cool old vintage cars I saw including the Morgan's in that video and a Porsche 356 Speedster on the backroads. The joy however began with the sighting of a white CRX with a for sale sign on it off the side of the road in Schodack, NY.

Well after handling the refridgerator woes that beset us yesterday, I thought a drive may be in order to go see the CRX up close. Even considered the wild thought of maybe purchasing it.

Once we got to Schodack, NY and I pulled into the lot, it was apparent why the car was still there unsold. The car was a CRX HF(not saying this went against the car). Rust had eaten through the body panels, but what turned me off was that the owner has performed a GS-R swap and listed the car for $2800. Interior looked very beaten, used and abused and the tin worm seemed to have taken an irreparable hold on the car. Appears the car saw full-on beater duty through all the seasons and did all that was expected of it.

Hopefully it goes to someone that can afford to fix it up and keep it well. I know I wont be able to afford it

As were the ones on the Civic Type-R, and we all know how many of them are wandering the roads in North America

Besides the fact that we did not get a hatch (which is disappointing) I for one was happy that the FA5 Si looked exactly like the JDM Type-R.

The HPD car was first run at the 25 hours of thunderhill where it finished 2nd in class on debut. Im keeping my :fingercrossed: and holding my breath

My co-driver is considering a tow vehicle replacement. He is towing a 7x14, V front, enclosed, dual axle trailer. Looking for something full size, less than 35K miles, under $25K. Any suggestions?

My first thought is a Tundra, but not sure it fits in the budget. Diesel may be a consideration.

OMG it is warm!! Makes it hard to concentrate, my brain is sludgy

Thinking about buying a super small A/C just for my office... it's only about 80 square feet.
