I know some people here have kick ass rides, but this is MY new baby, it's a 2000 acura integra special edition. In Canada, since we get a lot of precipitation and snow (and salty roads that is used to melt snow and ice) one of the main problems with cars is rust, rust is a big issue here, it's unavoidable. After a week of searching hard for either a good sports or 4x4 for a cheap price, I found this gem. This car is clean in and out and under the hood it's a beauty, i brought it to the mechanics and they were all very impressed with my find;D Today i'm going to get the timing belt replaced (100,000 km mark) {"name":"p2210103jo8.jpg","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/4\/74f3425bc21ab89235d47abe7ca93d79.jpg","w":1024,"h":768,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/4\/74f3425bc21ab89235d47abe7ca93d79"} ----------------- |

This summer i'm going to replace the base carpet and shampoo the seats, I've already detailed the dash. ----------------- |

I've spent enough time doing up my car this week (i detailed the interior, got it to literally shine inside out, flushed all the fluids, new timing belt+sealents+water pump and i need to flush the injector in about 2 weeks), i've put so much time+money+work into it, and the ride quality is amazing, time to go cruzing and picking up the ladies with it. ----------------- |

A Galant of that type is nice, except they forgot to install sound dampening at the factory, and the ECU doesn't allow the engine to start when it's below -25c (this can be cheated by warming up the cabin as the ECU makes that decision based on its own internal temperature sensor). But it's built with old school technology, it's quite reliable. edit: I just found this: Quote: , i've put so much time+money+work into it, and the ride quality is amazing, time to go cruzing and picking up the ladies with it. Unfortunately the only cars that make a difference in picking up ladies are small hatchbacks and they need to be red or yellow. A black japanese family car size coupé won't do it. Then again if you're targeting redneckettes or white trash girls, that just might do the trick... Note that I didn't include cars such as Ferraris, Maseratis, Aston Martins etc, because when rolling those, you don't pick the girl up, the car does. Which is why I decided to restrain myself from buying my first Ferrari until I'm no longer single. You don't deserve my sig. |

I've been driving for about 15 years and had 7 different cars. Luckily none of which have been stolen and only 1 that I crashed. Mind you it only the most recent ones that were worth pinching I started off with a Ford Capri, then moved to a MG Metro, then a Fiat Tipo, followed by a Vauxhall Corsa then a Mazda 323 and now my Honda CR-V (I also own a Citroen C1, but that's just for commuting). Not that those names mean much to anyone as they change names when you change countries... Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I'm glad your not stuck with one of those! Quote: Hondas are the 1 most frequently stolen car. My father had his Civic stolen about six months ago. 2-door Integras are literally the most stolen car in America. Anyways, looks like a great car! I'm happy for ya! -----sig: |

Actually the only UK-specific name there was Vauxhall, replace that with Opel and all the models are internationally uniquely identifiable. Well, except MG of course is identifiable, just not seen, luckily no-one ever exported such waste of steel outside the UK in any significant amount. You don't deserve my sig. |

Quote: Actually the only UK-specific name there was Vauxhall I meant the model as well. Most models are specific to the country/region, e.g. the corsa was never sold in America. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

Don't carry passengers Matthew "Side Driver: 1/5 stars safety concern" btw, that's a nice bit of open country you've got outside your house. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

Of course, I just jinxed myself most likely...
I paid my brand new car (in 2000) off in one year.
sunroof is a nice addition
