Well I finally got the car that makes me happy. Check it out--http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?p=2041321#post2041321

Not that the Ej didn't make me happy, but the girl is gettin old. It's hard to get excited about her anymore. With her dents, smalll scratches, faded interior, etc It'd be so much work till I'd be really happy with her again.

Any ways, I've been a pretty active poster on and off here but I don't think I ever made a pic thread other than right after I first got my grill and foggies. don't know where that thread is...found it-http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=78591.

sad to hear that you are letting her go. I used to have an ej coupe but then I sold it. I loved that car but I had to move on. Goodluck with your new car.

There was a time when I would've said you're right, when I wouldn't have traded her for anything. Reality just caught up to me and then I fell in love with the FG and the thought of a new car. I'm finally happy again. I'm staring to have the import modding fever again lol Before it was like yeah I could get wheels, but there's still all the dents, scratches, faded paint, etc. And if I got the body restored/repainted, it would be a few thousand into a car that isn't worth that much, and the interior would still be crappy, still on stock wheels, still getting older...ya know? It was an opportunity to take the plunge and I did. And other than being paranoid about the new car, I'm very happy with my decision. Who knows, one day when I have the money, I might find a clean shell and make me a project car.

Both are nice cars. Love the white colors.

Yeah whenever I tell people my new car is white, they're like "What!? why white?" lol I think people who aren't Honda heads don't get it.
