I've been planning this thread for a while, but I procrastinate
Right, so allow me to rant. I'm gonna start this about two years ago or somewhere thereabouts.
Once upon a time I got really close to buying a 1991 Ford Bronco. It was pretty cool. It had like 62000 miles and the red velvet interior. Looking back I'm glad I didn't buy it because gas mileage.
Flash forward to last summer, I actually DID buy a 2003 Ford Focus ZX5.
$300 and it lasted MAYBE a week. Third day I was licensed it just outright quit on me. Not wanting to even bother with it anymore, I sold it to a friend for $300 cash and bought a 2000 civic ex coupe from the dealership my mom works at within the hour. I paid $700 in total for it, including the ~$200 licensing and whatnot. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Sitting at the dealer
This is after I got her home with some 277000 miles
Previous owner hit....something?
Whatever it was the bumper is all misaligned :I
It didn't take me long to find out that whenever I park anywhere, Hondas sorta....flock. Also it looks really weird seeing the taillights all red.
It also didn't take long for me to get that dent outta my bumper and move my plate to cover it up
Before long my taillights found a can of nite shades in my brother's garage
And I found the internet
Again with the Honda thing....
My friend bought me a $7 exhaust tip from walmart because he thought mine was too stupidly small (this actually ended up on his subaru outback, but more on that later)
And uh....this happened ._.
Honestly, me and my friend bought this with the intention of it lasting maybe a week or two. It's been there since like september lol
This was the product of about $150 and walmart
4th gen 6th gen 8th gen
With a friend
I dunno man, they just show up wherever I go
Around January or so I hit a snowbank when it was like -40 degrees out and cracked my bumper :I
This is an opportune time to say that I bought some foglights on ebay some months beforehand
And honestly I think my neighbor hit my car but he won't admit it :I
I got reeeeeaaalllyyy close to buying this thing
Yay 5555 (daft punk fans will get it)
WINTER MODE
I would be able to put more money into this if I didn't get sidetracked making stuff like this
My doors froze shut after this :I
Hooray for $40 "performance" parts
Yay stickers
Aaaaannnddd winter. Still.
Stickers on
Funny story behind that last one. I have an autos class at my high school, and class was just about over so I figured I'd slap the few stickers I had left on. So I was partway into putting my "+10hp" sticker, and a kid walks up behind me. Mind you, living in Minnesota, everyone drives trucks and believes no replacement for displacement, so I get made fun of...a lot. So a guy walks up and says "how much horsepower does THAT sticker add?" So I pull off the little covery bit and say "Ten!" Shut him right up
THE SNOW MELTED!!!
Aaaannndddd it's back
And eight hours later it's....gone?
Man my car is dirty
