Nay! No Honda for you! After the S13 and MR2 should be something more like this: http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp....t=557It's got the same gas mileage as any Honda (about 30mpg), but it's SR20 powered!

just so you know you could have just left the car there without paying a fee. They actually charged you to transfer the title, and seeing the shape your car is in I would almost guarantee it could be rebuilt and sold it again. oh well.

Yes, that area code is way down here in the dirty south, but I didn't know your's. Check your newspaper, I know they're a dime a dozen around here (there were probably 2 or 3 SE-Rs in the paper when I recieved my car). I know my SR20 gets upper 20s, if not 30, and I drive pretty hard. That's also w/CAI and it's all city driving.

Damn man that sucks. Might I suggest a Maxima? Pretty fun car if you ask me. I have fun every time I get in my auto, but you'll have even more fun with a 5 speed.

yeah I know plenty of people that left it at the towing yard.. they eventually auction them off or sell them to junkyards. Of course the yard was wanting something for their efforts, but if they are keeping your car (which could be sold for at least 50 bucks) then thats their compensation.

Hey sorry to hear about your car... I had my custom VW ripped and stripped when I was in college... really sucked...

But I have seen guys willing to pay for your pink slip on craigs list in San Francisco... Some guy with a salvage title looking to clean up.. said he would pay a couple hundred... may be worth a call

Good luck on hooking up a new car
