Between my bike and public transportation, I only need to drive like 5K miles a year, so spending $30K on a new car would be a waste.

Or get a 10k lease for 200 bucks a month.

I miss my Probe. It was a good car.
Guy that eventually bought it apparently fixed the stuff I was to lazy to sort out so its probably still chugging along.

Did you see the timestamp on my post?
You should know by now that any post I make between 8PM and 5AM will likely be sketchy

It's noisy but nothing that turning the radio on won't fix. Some of the weather stripping is bad adding to the wind noise, but I also drive a convertible and an 89 f-150 so it's the quietest of the bunch for me.

My dad's hybrid has trouble accelerating with 2 ppl in the car. Scary how slow that thing is..

Oh, btw.. good luck with the sale!

Eh, I guess you can call mine aftermarket.. I've got a free pioneer deck (7 yrs old) driver side front speaker lead is dead. And I bought 2 pair of 2way pioneer speakers off ebay for 15$ each/pair. Gets the job done.. lol

The radio that came with the car played static.. really loud.. and the speakers were all completed ripped. I had to run speaker wire throughout the car, but didnt hide any of it.. it's a real beater.. Never washed in 4 yrs too.. lol

I'm not knocking the car.
Despite all the "tuner wannabe's" out there destroying them, older civics have always been great little cars.
