Are you keeping the low rolling resistance tires with the new wheels?

That Civic is ugly as sin!

Nice truck though.

You really are a strange dude though.

Lets complain about gas..................Ding..............I will get a hybird!

Oh shit, I forgot I traded my other gas guzziling truck for even a bigger gas guzzling truck! Oh don't worry, I only drive the Tundra on the weekends or when I am hauling my brand new back hoe.

Oh and I borrow money that I never pay back, but I can get approved for loans left and right.

Lame.

So looks like gas prices are dropping again, 3 month low and we should be looking at dropping prices all the way into winter. Appearantly your not a classical economist, ever hear the term wait out the storm. Sometimes drastic changes need to be made like getting one of these, but I dont feel this was the time.

Meh... I'd much rather buy a 98/99 saturn SL1 for a commuter and take the other tens of thousands and spend elsewhere.. Costs ~$2,000 and gets 40mpg.

Saturn was producing 40+mpg cars in 97 and only the civic is equal in efficiency.

unless it drops to $2.00 a gallon I'll feel my Civic was a good investment....I'm glad prices are coming down I may be able to move a few things....locally so I can work on a few projects...I'm still wanting to turbo my Focus ST....

I wanted an automatic that gets 45+ mpg from what I read I feel I'll see up to 50mpg...I have a 96 Corolla 5spd with less than 30,000 original miles that gets 40mpg on the hwy....but its a manual....

no...i was commenting about the grill being a expensive imported real jdm part..The Acura CSX and "jdm" civic fa5 dont look anything like that..hense me calling bs. the front and rear end of the fa5 civic and the 2 dr coupe model (fg2, does not exist in japan/uk/can) are USDM specific
