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

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

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.
