what? i thought you two were unseperatible??
i do love my car, which is why it will take me a while to decide what to do - but with all the changes that have happened in my life lately, along with the new priorities, etc - it is an option i'm considering. there is a financial factor to the decision too; i'm not working right now, and won't be for a few more months at least, and hubby can't afford to pay my car payment (not that i would ever ask him to; that's my responsibility)... it's something i'm thinking long and hard about.
Cool, thank you. It does not sound too bad.
That's a shame, I'm sure you would regret selling the car.

P5 took a rock to the windshield. Time for a new windshield. Good thing for glass coverage.
It is cause of the VTAK!!! (seriously though, probably is with that motor haha)
I partially filled my car with gas. Maybe I'll partially wash it today too

Hahaha. Yeah...that and the fact that 80mph is 4000 rpm. I think mainly it's because of the pop can sized gas tank in it. I have to fill it up more often than the P5. I get about 30mpg from the Honda. 80% Highway here.
exactly and i am afraid to wake my g/fs parents when i leave her house. lol. how tight is too tight though? i dont want to over tighten but i cant stand that sound. it didnt do it today so we'll see what happens tonight

lol 30mpg bad? I guess compared to what you got with a nice 1.6l SOHC. I'm averaging about 17mpg with the turbo hopefully due to my tune and/or right foot. That is quite a bit of highway too.
Today i installed a hot wire corba radar detector kit, that way no more taking the cig lighter spot(dont smoke anyways) and the wire is ran up the door pilar and accross the roof liner so no more wires hanging around!!! I hope this plug works for all radars, because i want to buy a escort 8500 someday

i would say experiment on a day when there is no moisture in the air, so testing it in the wee morning hours is not a good idea as there is probably dew or some moisture crap all over the belts. mine originally was squealing during the day or once i turned on any accessories....thats when u know it is too loose. in my opinion (this is very non technical right now) it should only squeal during the morning cause of the dew or possibly if there are heavy rains/flooding.
here in gainesville and jacksonville there is almost always 100% humidity.
so there is ALWAYS moisture in the air. but i tightened them again last night and the alt belt only has like 5-6 threads left. the belt will twist 90 degrees if i twist hard so i think it's ok, but is only having that much thread left normal? i know the diameter of the pulley is smaller so making it tight will mean the bolt would have to be tightened more, but only 5 threads?
