BearJew,

Why would you go from your Z to an older civic and expect to have less upkeep?

Also - sorry to hear about that Stu =/ I had some relatives up in that area a few weeks ago just visiting and they said it was beautiful. I hope your friend is safe and was able to save most of his belongings! It looks rough over there and I bet the hail didn't help too much..
I think it priced pretty high.

Well the civic has good reliability ratings as do most Hondas and what I'll be paying in gas will make up for it easily. It'll be my college car anyways and I'm not looking to impress anyone exactly. My Z at 125,000 miles and with a small dent in the door (although a clear title) is up for $10,000 and I'm looking to get that cash out of the deal as well which will help me a lot.

Jake, you might need to change out those rear hatch shocks if you upgraded them from the ones Jason got for me. It will pop that biotch way open too fast ! You gonna paint it right ?
