I'm gonna be emissions exempt next year. I rode 1/2 the winter on the bike and now I beat on the Talon most days. Not that it really matters because I will pass emissisions no problem even without cats.

200k is impressive.

To be fair I blew the head gasket at 181,000 and I did refresh the top end at that time (but it still would have been fine even if I didn't). The bottom end is now starting to get tired and consume a lot of oil but still no mechanical failure, rod knock, etc. Go synthetic oil. This is fairly impressive when you consider when I bought the car at 125,000 miles I found a ticket in the glove box for 127 in a 65. This car clearly has been driven hard.

I get too sick of mine to keep one for 100k miles. I'm shocked I put 40k on it actually. In another year I'm going to start looking into an early to mid 2000s Viper and a POS daily beater. I just want something different.

piku · 05-20-2010, 05:41 PM

I've been thinking about vipers too. They're such a good value (both in terms of performance and how much ladies like that kind of car).

jpalamar · 05-20-2010, 05:43 PM

Yep, very low miles for arround $30k thanks to the economy.

Damn, a cocky BMW owner said you can throw thousands of dollars at a Honda but it will still be rice. I called him out on his ignorance and then the thread got deleted. DAMN IT!

actually had this discusion on a honda site. and hell, even the honda owners said the same.

i mean, you can have one of the cleanest EG civics in the world, yet some douche can pull up in a beat up BMW 3-series, and people will still say the BMW is better.

Hell, and with women. I forgot where i read this, but, they took 50 women, should them a picture of a nicely modd'd civic, and then a pic of a slightly beaten BMW 3-series. The majority of the women said they would rather date the guy with the BMW, cause the think he has more money.

russiankid · 05-20-2010, 07:19 PM

Well I have both so I am set. Haha, but I don't like how people associate rice with Honda. I mean yes Honda's are known to be riced out, but there are so many clean and fast Honda's out there that far from rice. I love my Honda and will drive it into the ground.

Was that on here? I'd love to contribute if it was still available.

russiankid · 05-20-2010, 07:35 PM

Nah it was over on bimmerforums.

sleeperSL2 · 05-20-2010, 07:36 PM

Evening all..just lost 4 pounds sweating, literally, from umping a baseball game. how is everyone?

HickRocket1258 · 05-20-2010, 07:38 PM

Doing alright, don't feel like being at the other job though.

sleeperSL2 · 05-20-2010, 07:40 PM

I hear ya. I'm beat.

HickRocket1258 · 05-20-2010, 07:42 PM

Yeah I bet that sun was nice, but probably got to be a little much after a little.

sleeperSL2 · 05-20-2010, 07:46 PM

Oh yeah it did. i was on a field with no trees, shade, or a breeze. I got some nice sun, but felt i tad sick afterward even though i drank almost a gallon of water. OH well. air conditioning is on now at home and I'm just relaxing.

russiankid · 05-20-2010, 08:04 PM

I am doing good. I checked under the Accord just now for rear bushing deterioration and looks like I need trailing arm bushings, and might as well do the lower control arm ones too. Then do the front radius arm bushings, struts and springs, and get it aligned. On a good note, no rust on a 21 year old car!

DPancoast · 05-20-2010, 08:44 PM

flyers are stinkin it up.

oh well.

time to relax

piku · 05-20-2010, 09:10 PM

Just smoked a $2500 ultra rare vintage computer

russiankid · 05-20-2010, 09:23 PM

I am contemplating whether or not I should install my Auto Meter volt meter into the Honda instead of the SunPro I have now.

piku · 05-20-2010, 11:11 PM

Fixed vintage computer.. Down to $320 loss. Amazing it has black char marks on it and boots up.
