2nd pic fail...

And how dare you insult me like that? I don't drink that Bud Light ****! Sheesh!!!

 

Ok much better...

 

 

That's a very hard decision. You need to test drive the 07 more. Rochesters input here is valuable, he may PM you some pet peeves or whatever to keep in mind after having owned it for a bit longer.

Personally, I look at it this way. Let's say your car budget is 25,000. You spend 8,000 on the car, that's potential for 17,000 in upgrades to max the budget (not a good idea, but you get the idea).

Or you spend 25,000 on the car.

This is the viewpoint I ran with when I got my 03 g35 for $7000. I can do a lot of maintenance, paint, tuning, etc to this car and still be well under the $30,000 mark, and end up with a car that is signifigantly better than any $30,000 car you could buy.

THEN AGAIN, if resale is important to you, don't hesitate, buy the 07. My purchase was a long-*** term purchase, I willr un this car into the ground, then pick it up off the ground, clean it up and run it again for anothe rround, yaaamean?

 

I'm flabbergasted at your blatant use of ghetto slangature

 

 

AutoX today was wicked. met some cool guys, got lots of tips, bettered my times.

All around wicked, just wicked. Happy joy joy day.

Also one other dude had a G sedan he snapped a couple pics, nothing great but nothing great is better than nothing at all

 

mad JDM yo!!!!

 

 

Oh no and Rice references?

 

I like how you reversed the picture so it looks right hand drive. Remove the numbers on the door and it will look real.

 

What is this crapwagon?

 

 

Anybody know where to find one of these now....

Yeah true enough. The editor I have won't do it well though, and I have no use for such a picture. Funny stuff though

 

Looks like you already answered your question and found it?

 

What numbers?

 

Nope, cant order it, No Buy button or Nothing on that page, but found em already....

 

Well done, sir.

 

Some things are easy. Some are not.

This here... this was difficult. Although in hindsight, it was collecting the right elements, and the political BS here on the Org.

 

Witchcraft!

 

The "Lifetime Oil Changes" promotion from our Honda Dealership was a scam. Now that the car is out of warranty, they will only change the oil if I agree to hundreds upon hundreds of dollars of unnecessary "scheduled service".

It's a scam. They are the Devil, and I hate them.

So I'm going to have to start changing the oil on the wife's CR-V, like I do on my G37. Which is no big deal, I suppose. Here's Teh Funny... it took me 10 minutes to find the hood latch. And in actuality, I had to get out the owner's manual. The release switch is recessed and on the side panel under the driver's side. Very stealth.

OMG, her engine bay is disgustingly dirty. And before anyone suggests... no, I'm not going to clean it. Nor am I going to put titanium bits and pieces inside her Honda.

Still, it could use a good cleaning.

 

You have never popped the hood of your wife's car? Ever? Not even to top off the windshield washer fluid or check the oil level?

I find this difficult to comprehend...

 

Do we need to adjust the service managers view on the term "lifetime"?

 

They find a way to get ya one way or another...

 

Well played, Rochester, well played



Shytty buzz about the honduh, I can't fathom dealing with a stealership, or really any repair shop. So shady.

 

+1

 

The only times i've bought cars at a dealership is when I used to work for one. Even then they try to screw you.

One car I bought was supposed to have gap coverage. When it was totaled, the paperwork they kept on file mysteriously didn't exist, even thou I clearly remember signing something for gap coverage because gap was the first thing I asked about. Of course the finance manager that did all of that didn't work there anymore so there was no way to trace a paper trail down. Good thing I actually got a good deal on the car or I could have had to have coughed up a few thousand dollars to pay for the gap between the value on the car and what was owed to the bank.

 

I get that, T_Behr. But it's true. It's was bought brand new 4 years ago as the family car, with full warranty and full service (or so I thought). It's never given us a single reason for repair, and we brought it in for regular service. I've kept it clean all these years... relatively speaking to other CR-V's, certainly not relatively speaking to my Maxima or my G37. But it's in fine shape.

What can I say? The Honda isn't a hobby, it's just a tool.

 

I see... I'm just surprised that even though you had services, you never inspected their work to make sure they didn't overlook anything (low oil level after a change, forgot to change the filter, washer fluid, stuff like that).

I'm just surprised that you had that much faith and trust in your stealership with your $25ish thousand dollar tool that you didn't inspect it yourself, considering how particular you are with your own cars.

To sum it all up, your wife and kids ride in that car. And you take road trips in it. That's a lot of faith and trust to put into a stealership regarding it is your family's transportation, especially when their safety is concerned.

To sum it all up, inspect your tool.

 

I know that. They are probably the only set of 16s is get.

For that price, I'd rock them all day. Lol. I think I know the seller of that listing by the way.

I like the hiros too but I always pass on those because of the weight.

The leonis are nice too. Width and offset is lacking but might work.

I wanna pull the trigger on those bbs as some permanent wheels, but I'd need some fat spacers.

 

Exactly. Very well said. The car is probably going to last me for the next 5+ years through the last year of high school, Plus university. I'm thinking i'd rather be able to slowly chip away at my mod list over the next 4 years, then be paying off the car for the next 4 years. I love changing the way a car looks/drives

 

F*** NO. I see an 03 G Sedan 6MT pop up today, 58500 miles, no accidents, etc. asking 9800$ By the time i see this ad, go do a few errands and i just called the dealer to basically purchase the car (There is NO 6MT's on the west coast, PERIOD.) It sold. It was listed for less than 6 hours. FUUUUUUUUUU

 

Damn...

 

I know. I was rather excited. Almost started ordering parts, That's how close i thought i was LOL. Oh well. Always another one.

 

Widen ur travel search

 

 

I trusted the dealership to do an oil change, service the brakes, swap gear oil and flush the coolant. That's about it.

They did some body work on separate occasions for manufacturer defects, and both times when I went to get the car I had to bring the Service Manager out to show him where they fcked up, and gave the car back to get repaired correctly. On one occasion, I gave it back to them twice. Seriously... twice.

So, there's no full faith and trust, per se.

 

Boy this Usain Bolt guy sure is a tool in the spotlight. I feel bad for Jamaica having this peacock rep for their country lately.

Closing ceremonies last night were... kind of a mess. I'm hoping Rio will be more like Carnaval. Get ready for the Sexy Olympics, LOL!

 

anyone watch the female brazilian volleyball game?
