new to Hondas

Whats up yall the name's Brendan. I saw a Civic hatch today with a stlhondas.com sticker so I figured I'd check it out.

Yesterday I bought a 1995 Accord EX for $1600. Its a two door. 165k on the body, 35k on the rebuilt VTEC engine. Its got a few mods, nothing extreme- stage 1 clutch, full exhaust from header back, lowered on nice wheels, good audio system. Working A/C, which was one of the selling points. It has ABS and four-wheel discs, but the ABS light in the dash is on so I doubt the ABS works. Kid I got the car from said it was a sensor or something.

The car itself is very clean, it was in a totaling accident at some point, and was subsequently rebuilt and repainted. They did a good job of it, the paint is damn near immaculate. Prior salvage title, but that doesn't bother me any. It originally had a full leather interior, at some point somebody swapped out the front seats for cloth, though I haven't a clue why. It needed front brake rotors/pads and the brake system bled, but I should get it back from the shop sometime tomorrow. I took it to them not from a lack of skill to do this myself, but because its been in the 100s lately here and I don't particularly feel like dying of heat stroke from doing the brakes in the driveway.

Anyway, that's my car. Now me: long story short(er), I got fed up with throwing money at my old daily just to have things keep breaking, so I sold it for $700, and started shopping for something else. My project truck is still a long way from road worthy. Well, go figure, I lost my job the same day (long story). That was almost a month ago. Since I can't rely on others to get me around, I needed a car to get another job. I drained my savings and started looking for something that would get me around everyday reliably, comfortably, and wouldn't be a total bore to drive like my last daily. Now that I have a new daily, I need to get back to looking for a new job once its legal.

Past vehicles, lets see. Two DSMs, two Saturns, several trucks, a Toyota, two Nissans...most of which were modified to some degree or another. This is however my first Honda.

Anyway, I kinda rambled. Hopefully I'll have pics for you guys within the next couple days whenever I find my camera.

EDIT: Quinton, if you still get on here and happen to see this, yes its Brendan from TB. Godlike's friend. I've joined the dark side.
