1.8, the engine is gutless, but cruises fine on the highway. Still getting used to how it downshifts when I'm braking, kinda feels like I'm braking too hard

I'm not the only one! The rentals I've had freaked me out by doing this! damn autos.

Made my wallet a little bit lighter yesterday. Ordered a bunch o s*** for the Civic.

Suspension
Cam seals
VTEC solenoid filter & gasket
Distributor O-ring
Head gasket
Timing belt kit
Wheel bearings for the rear


Time to start wrenching when the parts come in.

I really do need to get back to working on the 6. I did get a YMCA membership last night, wife gets a discount through her work, so I can stop being such a lazy fatass all the time. I do have a feeling that it's going to make me feel even less like working in the yard or on the cars though.

I feel like the last time I saw your 6 running was over at Kevin's parents place shortly after we graduated high school lol

It died 3 years after that, not due to me, but I won't get into it. Now I'm motivated to get it running again to use it as another family car and a better DD than the 7.

what plans do you have for the 6? sorry if I've missed your build thread somewhere.

Finally picked a name, the Cruze shall be called Ethel.

On a side note, it no longer surprises me how stupid people are, its just annoying. Reading comprehension goes a long way.

I like it.

I haven't come up with a name for the Wagon besides calling it The Wagon or Daddy Wagon.

Does everyone have names for their rides? I don't like to name my cars.

I've tried to name mine but I usually end up calling it whatever it is.

I have a name for mine. But I usually just refer to it as "my car " haha

 

[princess peach]

I've had names for all of mine, started doing it after Gone in 60 seconds came out. Haven't picked an Eleanor yet though...

Blown motor turned into a near stock rebuild. Now it won't turn over, and I wonder if the timing chain tensioners need loosened up a bit. I just want to get it on the road, but that involves some time and money after the motor is running again.

I also call her uncivilized, as a pun based on the fact that I'm a civil engineer.

 

[Perro del Sol]

I do not have names for my cars pe se....Spicy, Whitey, Waggin and The Hatch......Pablo, I am calling you Lucy since your car is known as Ethel(Mertz) or we can call you Fred (Mertz)?

This afternoon needs to pick up, I've had it with work today already, I really just want to go home and chill with the little man

 

[o0n8]

Just got a call for an interview from my monster.com account that's at least 3 years old. What makes it more odd is that it's right across the street from the building I work in.

I don't, but my wife has several for the RX7. I think the top two are "ugly" and "waste of money." Then again, maybe that's one name: "ugly, waste of money."
