I have been toying with cars for as long as I can remember. It all started in my dads garage as we played with his Plymouth Conquest TSI. Man I loved that car. That is what got me started. Growing up most of my friends got cars before I did, so I had to live out my dreams with their cars. My friends and I spent countless hours playing with their cars. Doing everything from adding nitrous to a 69 Camaro, to body work on an old Jeep CJ7. We would do everything. If you could not find us over the fenders banging under the hood, you could find us crouched under the dashboard running wires for a new stereo system. Then I finally got my first car!
Yep, that is right, my first car. It was a green 1964 Chevrolet Impala 2 door. It was beautiful! It had 54,000 original miles on it when I bought it, and still had the original paint. The paint was dull, but after some TLC, I got it to shine. I spent everyday toying with this car.
After that I went through a variety of cars. I had a Pontiac 6000 (don't laugh) for a while, and I concertrated my time into car stereo on that. I wanted the loudest thing I could buy. So, after 1,200 watts, and a LOT of speakers, I had it. Then came my project car. It was a Cadillac ElDorado. It spent its entire life in the garage. It only ran on the streets one time. I was too busy to take on the task of that car. After the 6000 left me, I picked a different number, a 5000. I got a 1986 Audi 5000 CS Turbo. I loved that car. It was nice and quick, looked good, and ran great. Well, for a while atleast. I started to have some problems from the factory turbo. I then bought my current car as a daily driver while I upgraded the Audi. Well, the Audi sat, and I ended up selling it.
For two years I let the Accord drive in its stock form. I never thought of doing anything to it. I mean after all, it was just a Honda! What could I do? I was no longer into stereo, and quick cars to me at the time meant it had to have a bowtie. Well, then one day I saw a Civic on the cover of Super Street magazine. I was intriqued. I picked it up, and the rest is history.
The car has been through many changes. I have had three aftermarket hoods, and am now back to my stck hood. I am on my second aftermarket grill, my second wing, and my third set of taillights. Tese are also my 5th set of wheels. Hopefully I will finally pick something that suits me. I think I have it now.
Now this does not mean I am a Honda guy. I am just a car enthusiast who happens to be driving a Honda. I love almost every make of car. Keep checking around the page here and see what I have done to this Honda. It ain't the fastest, it ain't the best, but who cares? I like it.
