Sold my civic.. bought something new =) ... sort of big pics... 56k.. =(
 
I bought my civic back when I was a senior in high school and I did n/a mods to it til I put together a turbo kit, using mainly used greddy parts (due to lack of tools at home).

A lot of help I owe to people on the board, including jeff who I would ask (which I now know are stupid questions) but he still helped me and gave me mainy tips.

After all I thought about how much help I recieved I will be throwing some money in jeff's direction to help keep the site up. I don't post as much as I used to, but I still cannot get enough of checking out the new manifolds and all the setups. I don't think I ever will. Hopefully sending a few bucks to help keep the site will help someone else out in the future who may still be learning.

Here are some pics of the civic I just sold. :'(

Sorry for the large pics.. if they appear

Here is the stack of money I got from the sale =)

Here is my civic sitting right at my apt. right before I sold it!

And the moment I dreaded... watching someone else drive it away

My new purchase is the car sitting next to the civic.. I am still breaking it in but it is a lot of fun to drive.
I know it cost quite a bit of money, but I have saved up for a year to put a down payment and my payments are manageable for me.

I drove various cars, but I liked this one the best.

It always hurts to see a car go, even if you get a better one, i just sold my tahoe with a broken tranny to a guy who was going to fix it and flip it, it hurt, and then i just saw it up fore sale on craigslist today... ouch... oh well it was its time to move on down the road... :'(

no matter how much/little you sell the car for, there is no price you can put on the amount of time/fun you had with the car.

if it wasn't for that civic i would never have had any initiative to try a turbo setup and i wouldn't be where i am today

Sucks to see it go. I always liked your civic.. But look at the bright side, your new car will be just as fun

Evo's are mediocre. I would have kept the civic ;)
