Default New Girl, OKC!

About a year ago, I went to buy a new truck. The only problem was this: I stepped on the lot and there, sitting between a cheap Camaro and a silver Fusion was an '01 Accord EX Coupe. I was in love. I bought it and I haven't looked back since.

The last owners took amazing care of her (as far as performance and exterior goes, the interior leather front could be reupholstered). They were also kind enough to leave the turbo hook-ups inside her, so I'm already planning on getting that. I purchased her with a cool air intake installed and the owners also had her engine painted a lovely, sparkly blue. Fortunately, whoever painted the engine did it properly.

Being that I've got steep payments, I haven't put as much money into her as I wanted to, but oftentimes after I get off work the guys and I will sit out in the parking lot showing off -- one of them being a Civic enthusiast.

Her last owners also equipped her with a cheap exhaust and some aftermarket tail lights (the stock ones are sooo ugly). I've actually stopped at a red light, looked in my rear view and seen people taking pictures.

That aside, I'm also pushing off further modifications to my car until after I move out to California. I have no plans to replace her -- only to build her up.

I've been checking into that. I plan to get the dB on my exhaust checked before I head out there. I don't think it's above 95, though. I've heard -plenty- of stock bikes that are much, much louder.
