2009 Civic

dang.
I value your input pal, thanks for playing.

Somebody has to keep you on your toes.

Seriously, though - hope it works out for you.

Having a gas sipper daily that you are probably not emotionally invested in is a good thing. Gives you time to fix the good ones right and without the gotta have wheels right now pressure.

That's the thinking, yeah. Neighbor seems cool AF about it but I wonder why.
Placating the guy aint a bad plan.
I got a tire hookup dude, no worries.

i know. you know. we all know ,hell, even HE knows... that one of these says i'll be able to spend the time in both them new 30 year old vehicles that theyll never break again.

The '75? It was near finished. break proof.. I spent a year and $10k on it though.

Stinkin Lincoln.

Stupid old church ladies.

the Camaro still has a million tons of work to do it's really rolling project status but it's almost got it's basket case runnin troubles fixed.
THEN I'll wire a radio and build the console. A load of interior stuff to do. It's gonna have to come WAAAAAAAAY apart before i'll be finished.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more apart.
Really bought to play with long term.

i'm gonna fix the ⁸⁸K5 bulletproof like that too but there's zero money for it today. I shot its' *** already because it was intended to be reliable by now ! Seriously i'm looking at dropping TWO GRAND more to the transmission on top of the ONE GRAND i'm already out because I aim to keep the Blazer. Must be un-hacked.

Tuned Port Injection has been considered lol?
I've got another one that just sits here.

can you believe how good I am at picking the perfect song for almost any occasion?
i mean damn.

dudes.
im driving a ****** honda.
my worst nightmares have been realized even now i'm sober damn near a decade.

make sense of that! does that sound right to yall?
lmao


ever heard of "the itch you can't scratch"?
I know exactly what they're talking about!
I haz need 4 speed

Hell naw I aint mad, promise im having a good time!

As a matter of fact , I just started.

Of the three vehicles from the fifth post?

The cheapest ride to insure is an Iroc-Z
It has 24 hour live-monitored video surveillance with WIFI Police AND direct-call FIRE alarm but that has nothing to do with it?

found a $600 donor for the K20 swap.

k20 swap?
yeah, in the Honda world a K20 is equivalent to a big block over an SBC.

a K20 block yields bigger displacement than 2.0 liters! It's a bolt in 40-50 horsepower. on top of the stock 125.
Pretty involved I take it. Only way to go is buy another Honda roflmao.

So we agreed to be good right this second and im done spendin money on it so I can fix the Blue Ox. rent is $20 a week. fuhgedaboutit.

Something wicked this way comes, and it aint no Honda!

I started workin him on buying exhaust parts see....i'm not buyin em.

Finally got the ELD replaced. Kinda skeery being the only ride to work.

i'm staring at a plastic fusebox that is FOUR PIECES and i'm terrified i'll break it lmao.

Anyways, the ELD is buried in the middle piece. All you gotta do is....take it all apart.

Emerging victorious, it changed the attitude of the entire car for FOUR BUCKS.

helluva deal. The Honda LOVES ME now.



didn't even break anything.

All that build up, excellent writing, and then it falls apart in the denouement.

In this reviewer's opining, if this was condensed by 1/4 ( the ending ) a riveting tale would exist.

Sorry, can't recommend.

Sincerely,

Great job, Dood !

For bonus points, who can tell me who I just condensed and plagiarized (kinda sorta) in the 1st part, and 100% in the signature?

I deserved that.
I knew ahead of time MONDAY was gonna be the LAST nice day for a good(bad) long. while and the heat was on!
I felt compelled for peace of mind if nothing less I didn't wanna keep -wondering about it.

Anyways, while I was even preparing for the repair I considered "filming" a Youtube but ya know, I really fail to contain that required effort. Decided that energy would be better spent elsewhere while it was 66° in the middle of the winter, and I was right.
haha sad face

PLUS!
<---- not filming a blind with 0 experience repair.

I got a rep yo.


























It don't matter what it is, ya dig?

I took Brother Bryan out to lunch today and saw Babe the Blue Ox.
Dude has been slammed and there is no change to report outside my $$ShopCredit$$ gets bigger weekly.
I guess it's gonna snow 6 inches in the next 24 hours so the shop will slow to a crawl soon enough. Gettin closer!
That reminds me, I need to grocery store.

TODAY:
I delivered Camaro bucket seat brackets and we discussed making the custom mounts over BBQ.
One entire Square Body bench bracket set to fit one Camaro bucket.

BBQ is a Ruff gig.

Mercury retrograde can SMD

 

[Goldie Driver]

Man - that blows. Downside of any low car - lots o damage can be caused by objects that would not even touch Bonnie, babe, or hell - maybe even Helen !

Is that radiator hose outta the Honduh ?

 

[Snoots]

Sorry to see that. As long as you're ok.

 

[Catbox]

Did you hit it doing 80?

 

[Rusty Nail]

Nah..that's a piece of the air silencer thingy deal in the intake tract.
Provides for a nice flat spot in the powerband at about 3krpms now it's missing like that.
Gonna go vote for myself another 14% pay increase that I HAVE actually realized in 4 years of TRUMP, then ima start looking at at.

Cheapest replacement plastic piece - painted to match- on ebay, $165.
That will get it started to be fixed..its money out of Bonnie's pocket...I cant get ahead.

Three months in, still treading water.

 

[Dutch Rutter]

If there is enough actual metal in the front of that thing you might be able to get some steel and fab up a custom higher bumper with a skid plate across the lower front. Kinda like this thing minus the hoop dealy. Might be cheaper then buying new plastic shat and itll hold up better.

DEFINATELY A BETTER IDEA!!!!!

<3!

Omg Hilarious!

Dude took my advice and decided to use this opportunity to switch to a much better looking 2006-2008 nose in the interest of PRICE over an even cooler ACURA TSX? RSX? whatever TL? switch over but at double the parts cost .

Of course the 2009 black color was new in 2009 and gotta get that later color on an earlier part which is NOT sitting on a shelf somewhere is a price we gotta pay cuz it is way better result for a full custom job.

2006
