Ok this has been sitting at a local lot and I thought I would take a closer look.
Its a LXi hatch they just got in. The inside is clean, the paint is smooth, no rust, and the motor is stock. It has 160,000 miles on it. I don't know what year it is because they are waiting on the paperwork to come through on it. As soon as it comes through I think I'll go back for a test drive. Oh crap I missed the wing, I'll get that next time. Oh yea the car is a bit lighter and the flames are actualy purple.

Thats my fault, I had to take a peek. The dealer wanted me to leave it open because it was locked and he wanted to do some basic maintaince under the hood.
It looked ok under the hood, a little dirty but everything was there and looked functional.

I do too, I don't know if I'd have the balls to drive around in a camo-ed up honda though.

holy Cornholio! That Geee needs help in the looks dept! however, there's no way to tell if it's 86-87 or 88-89 becuasee the pic isn't clear enought show the headlight lip pattern...... it's a toss up

Yea its a 86 LXi, I drove it earlier and it was decent.
It had all the usual quirks of a 3g. No radio or speakers either.
It ran ok I guess, but slower than mine.
The guy offered me it for $2,000 after I trade in my 87 LX.
Umm, screw that.

yes but even the 88-89 hatchy's had those same corners as the 86-87's

damn he wanted 2,000 after a trade? what the hell is he thinking? the price of that car should be cut in half twice due to the ugly ass paint. :cool2:

i didn't know there was a certain point where cars get so fast they actually need flames.


I do too, I don't know if I'd have the balls to drive around in a camo-ed up honda though.

i just searched forever and i couldn't find a picture of it, but there was a camo 3gee posted on here before.

86-89 hatchbacks had 86-87 bumpers. so if you have 89 hatchback you would have 86-87 style bumper no matter what.
looks like the dealer is trying to make some money on that car.

I like it, it just needs a kit and the bright paint won't look half as bad.

hey guys, don't hate....., I'm getting flames on my whip, but there not going to be like that..... , I'm not giving out ideas, cause my ideas aren't being stolen(hahahahaha!!). That hatch in the picture is a 86-89 Hatchback . It is the same damn car that I have ,only the motor which I blew up has 196,000 on it. So, I obviously am getting a new motor, but I'm not saying anything about my whip, cause I don't want people to cop my idea,and copy it ,and do it on there ride(cause they lack creativeness). I'm all about being original, thats why I still have my Accord.

Oh I can get a lot more dumb, I got thousands of stories.

How does this sound?
I was smoking up with my brother one night. Right before I left I decided to use his eyedrops. I dunno who is stupider, me or him for putting it right next to the breath drops. They were the green breath mint liquid that is in a bottle just like eyedrops. Well I managed to grab it without looking. On the drive home I thought I was going blind in one eye. Damn thing itched for 2 days.
