    $400 is a deal all around! Once you get some post under your belt, get some pictures up.

    No worries bro. Sometimes the board hiccups like that. I just closed the other one to avoid confusion.

    Nah, maybe some day. I still drive my '85 prelude which takes up most my time & money, but the longer I don't have my 3gee, the more I miss it. Maybe someday... Been casually shopping for an LXi or a Prelude Si, but I'm not ready to commit quite yet. (unless the perfect car comes along.)
