lol, when we bought her car it had like 160k on it and the radiator blew an she nursed it home, replaced the head with a new one an still no compression so the block musta been warped. after all that i said f'k it an we just bought a used engine for 500$ an swapped it out. then her harmonic balancer pulley somehow came off an the key slot was chipped so i hadda use the crankshaft outta the other engine which meant pulling the engine again and swapping crankshafts and while i was there i put in all new bearings. she been running good ever since. finally replaced her one wheel bearing an gunna do her entire cars bushings. only thing left to replace after that is the rack an pinion which is leaking a little. those civics are easy to work on tho. lol

A few thursday's ago there was a pretty huge organized Sonic meet, it was actually pretty massive.
There was a black Cobalt SS there and a blue Cobalt LS/LT wingless.
I drove around but didn't stop, I was more hungry so I went to Applebees.

Yeah, it's like 40% Honda's.
A lot of Subaru's, some Evo's. There were a few Mustangs. And the over-enthusiastic VW crews.
I haven't talked to anyone, but I have two friends that go, one has a hella quick GTI and the other a Jetta GLI.
