Bought my first car!!!!!!!

thechix0r · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 02, 06

Yeah, buying my first car never felt as sweet, I got a good deal on the kind of car I've been wanting to buy since I was either working on my license and after having it.

I bout a 91 Honda CRX Si and it's beautiful, runs great, has a great sound system and gives me a sense of gratification every time I drive it.

WOOT for buying a new car!!! Don't have any pictures, but I wish I did :D

congrats Sandra, good feeling isnt it!! When you post pics of the car make sure you are in them to ;)

thechix0r · #3 (**permalink**) Jul 02, 06

Hahaha, yeah I will work on that. Damn it's a good feeling, such an accomplished feeling, almost liberating?

Chewy · #4 (**permalink**) Jul 02, 06

for sure it is, now you have a new sence of freedom at your hands, the ability to go where you want, when you want, and with who you want. The choice is all yours!!! There is no turning back now.

How much was it?

I have a 97 Honda Civic CX Hatchback I got as a gift when I graduated from HS in 98

no matter how hard he stresses the point... it is NOT easier to shift gears when you're naked.

See if you can find a beater to learn 5spd on , you don't wanna wreck your poor CRX !!!

thechix0r · #20 (**permalink**) Jul 02, 06

^^^ not that bad at driving stick, just some minor glitches...

Beater cars are for the manually challenged (IE, those who have not driven standard ever in their life)

Crystal clear sound!

^^ Ahhh, Alpine and Honda, such a good combination.

, I hope your honda lasts you a long time!, I've been waiting for my 92 Integra to die for over a year and 1/2....but still running strong....282,000km too!, I cant wait for it to die so I can buy a G35....

Leviathan · #23 (**permalink**) Jul 02, 06

^we have the same plan :) unfortunately I have a 97 prelude that is a long ways from kicking the bucket yet.

Some sucker just bought my 91 RS automatic

for more than i payed for it two years ago...I was asking 3500...the guy saw the sign in the window and offered me 7000! Enought o put me through 3 years of trade school!

Congrats on the CRX , hondas are great cars. That block (if well maintained is good for 350,000) I'm good friends with a honda mechanic, and he told me that they are generally bagged to shit , because teeneagers think it's a race car. Hard on the clutch and heavy on the pedal. I hope you had a mechanic check it out before you bought it.

^^^ Yeah I got it checked out by Honda and there were some things that were going to need to be done to the car in the future, but that's with any car that is 15 years old. The guy put in a new clutch and transmission less than a year ago, so as far as that aspect is concerned, it's good.

There were a few aesthetic flaws in the paint, but when I decide to I might just go have it repainted. Other than that, the interior looks like a new car and the engine runs beautifully
