Default Newbie Startup from GA

Bought my first car, and ended up not going the route I thought I would. At first, I thought I was for-sure on the course for an AE92 Corolla, but, as I kept looking, they were just too hard to find for what I could afford. In the end, I stumbled upon a 1988 Accord LX (sedan) for $1,300, and it's looking pretty stellar for 24(25 from build date; model years are annoying sometimes) year old car!

All it's needed as of now have been an oil change, going to get a tune up later this week, and I REALLY need some tires. Hoping that 13" tires won't hurt my wallet too much :|

Still, I had a power steering mishap RIGHT when I pulled her in today, and I've just decided to replace both of the Rack and Pinion boots for now, and get a better look at where all the power steering fluid I just bought for it poured out from. A seal set was kind of costly, but, if I need to buy it, I will!

She's got a VERY strong A20A1 for her age, and getting a 1300 dollar car with only 167k on the motor hasn't been a bad deal at all. As of now, drives pretty good even without a tune up, but doesn't turn too well...yet..heh

So, I guess I'm a Honda guy, now!

Here's a little album, seeing as I was never privy on how to compress image files too well >.<

if you take the address where the picture is located and put this in front of it [img] and put this behind it [/img] it will make your image appear in the thread which is better than clicking on links.
