I took it to a friend of a friend's place to look at the water leak. Turns out there are two problems:

1. A rust hole right below the windshield big enough to fit an egg roll through. Was covered with bondo, so the windshield guy didn't see it

2. No flapper over the HVAC intake

So he slapped some fiberglass over the hole with questionable results and I need to find a flapper at the junk yard.

Once again, I'm thinking this car may not be worth putting money into. I don't want to have to get this windshield taken out to get the rust fixed, but I don't want to have to deal with a wet interior anymore either.

I need to get out of this apartment and into a house with a garage. Then I can buy either a VX or HF, restore it and have something worthy of my money and time. Found a clean running HF for $3k in Colorado, so they're not expensive. What's an engine rebuild run for VTEC-e? Does anyone know whether a bicycle will fit in the back of a CRX?

PS- Drove to Petosky for Thanksgiving week and had no issues. Car works great. I need to tabulate my recent MPG and post up.
