I retract my previous statement... . Great find too BTW.

I bought an old Toyota pick up (1987 2wd 4cyl) for $700 for a DD. It lasted me for about a year then started giving me all kinds of problems. I ended up with a '99 Prelude for a DD now.

I'm suprised your Civic has given you as many problems as it has especially with the low mileage it has on it.

Trust me, I would love nothing more than to drive the evo to work. I like to drive to dumb places at stupid times of the day. I'll go to the store to get a drink when I have all kinds of stuff in the fridge. But, other people seem to be haters or jealous of nicer cars. My friends 3000gt just got egged last night for no reason. I mean come on, what's the point. It was more than likely some kids just being stupid, but if it was my car that got egged or worse keyed...I might just leave some stinky lincoln logs in my boxers.

My brother-in-law works for the RR also. He refuses to move closer to work. That's funny that you think the same.

Actually, my wife and I put our house on the market about 2 weeks ago to move closer. Funny thing is, I will be going from 90mi down to 60mi one way. It will still make a world of difference though. Plus when we get bad weather this winter, I will whip out the evo to tear up the icy roads...safely of course.
