    Some driveway shots

    Small photoshoot. These are the last pics I am going to do in New Orleans. The car is getting transported to Pennsylvania June 12th, which is in about two weeks. From there, I am either going to keep it, or sell it. That is right, sell it. Reason is that it's a great car, but its time to move on, just how it is. Enjoy the pics.

    It has been a money pit really, but it is worth it. I want to sell it in a couple of months. The list of things that have been replaced on it goes on and on.

    Re: Some driveway shots

    It's a bummer that you are thinking of selling her. I hope you give the 3geez crowd 1st dibs on it. I'd be interested but getting to Penn. to get it would be a bitch(although alot closer than NO).
    Really looks nice.

    Re: Some driveway shots

    Looking good.
    it's too bad you might be selling her but I understand what you mean about the money pit thing, there been time when I felt like that, but I have too much tied up into my accord to let it go. If I hadnt had put so much $$ into her she would have been gone along time ago

    Thanks. I just know that sooner or later my transmission is going to go. The main issue apart from the money pit is that I am moving to a state with snow. That means salt, so it will die from salt.

    But, speaking from many winters with the 3G, it is hands down the best FWD car I have ever driven in the snow. The '02 Protege I have now royally sucks in the snow. If you're hell-bent on selling it, I would wait and sell it in PA. My guess is you'll be able to get pretty good coin for it up here.

    It has been a money pit because someone must mess with lots of stuff. I think you've screwed with more stuff on that car than I have in the time that I drove it. At this point its probably 60% new, so selling it is only going to make it a money crater Just my $.02

    Meh, gave me something to do. Either way, sooner or later the things I've messed with would have failed.

    Re: Some driveway shots

    It really isn't up to me but mainly my father. If and when he decides to get me a newer car, I would like to sell it to a 3geez member so its journey in life can continue in good hands
