new daily driver

[nismokid]

i just bought a 1990 honda thats right honda crx. this will be my new daily driver so that i can take apart the 240 and put it back together for no apparent reason. hopefully by next summer the 240 will be all shiny and fast so i guess i can call it my project car now.

anyways the crx isnt all that bad, its an si with rear disc brakes, sunroof , and a couple of other things, but to tell you the truth i don't see why all the honda guys are raving about their cars. this thing is slow as hell. the handling is pretty good though. i think the whole car weighs 6lbs. the only reason i got it was because the good gas mileage thing and its in pretty good shape. btw i picked it up for $1300, 129k miles, miles arent too bad for a 90 and everything works in it(a/c, radio etc..)

at first i was going to sell the 240 and put a b16 and all that other nonsense into it but when i drove it i immediately knew that this car could only be my ***** while i mess around with the 240.

when i drove the crx home that night i felt like i was bringing home another woman and quickly remembered the emotional attatchment that i had with my 240 and realized FWD is for girls!

i feel guilty when i drive other cars. plus its no fun, cause they ain't RWD. i love my 240 :cuddle

the only other car i have ever driven beside my baby were RWD...my parents cars...DAD: 1995 Ford Crown Vic...MOM: 2003 Mercury Marauder (i love this car)

You got ripped my friend picked up his crx 5-speed (non si) with 96k for $250.

Its very nice to have a daily driver! You can go into some major projects on the other car, and not have to worry about finishing in time to drive it to work! I love my Maxima for that reason!Tyler

i plan on getting another 240 as a daily driver...i know that most people will think im stpid for this but ill probably get an auto...i think it will get better gas mileage...i hope to get maybe a conv.

I thought you get better gas mileage with a manual?

You do.

heh then.... DO'OH! lol

[S13Drifter]

This is assuming you don't shift in high rpm with the manual, but if you shift at the same rpm in both an auto and a maunal the manual gets better gas mileage.

Being in tampa having a conv. would be cool, but living in chicago as i do, that would suck.

theres a guy here in tampa with a white conv....it has an sr swap, eibach sportlines, tokico struts, and white buddy club rims...really sweet lookin ride :drooling

Must be a sweet conv. I would rather have a coupe with that stuff, just because of the stronger frame.

true but he did win first place at a local car show...he did it to the conv. because it looks so much better...ill see if i can get pics of it
