I’m back, again.

Been a really awful nearly two years. In the meantime my Civic has been retired due to a tree limb which landed on the roof. I’m really sad as that car suited me extremely well. I enjoyed driving it,...

Me either, but depends what you consider a wear item. My Echo got to 16 years and about 290k miles with all original hard parts despite hard abuse. It was really heavily abused, I say that again...

$2k is tough. I second ‘96-up for diagnostics. If you understand how to use it, it makes upkeep and diagnosis remarkably simple considering how complicated these cars actually are. My Civic was $2100...

Rochester is...a place to live. I’m not that excited about it, but having the Glen nearby is kinda nice. I’d like to chase fastest lap times, and the Green lap times, both. A 90s Civic is one of the...
