Whatev... I hate Civics with a passion...

Hes probably going to drop $6k on this Accord and then inherit the TL fairly soon.

His justification is that the TL is super nice with HID and whatever and my rebuttal is that hes driving a palace built on sand (the notorious auto tranny thats already been replaced once)...

But the Accord hes looking at has like 155k on it... which is a good 4-6 years of life left in it. It just doesnt make sense to me for a 20 yo kid to drop big dough on a car thats only going to be driven in the winter when he gets the TL... not to mention his super luxurious TL tranny taking a dump on him.

AND hes buying it on a loan, even though he can afford the straight cash. A) paying out the *** for interest FTL and b) loans require full coverage insurance FTL (i know this first hand). So in the end hes paying a crap ton for a car thats going to be parked for the most part while hes in school. NOT WORTH IT.

I am stupid bored right now. Was going to work on my car, but was like well I could do it now in the cold, or later when its warm and it really doesnt matter when it gets done.

I need a hobby thats not expensive.

except my 360 is broken, so that would require money. Now my hobbys consist of: cars(more of my life not a hobby, and insanely expensive) guns(not cheap) and thats about it lol.

Think I'm going to go wash the fo-do Accord.

what wrong with the 360? Mine is getting fixed fo free!

And you could try reloading... somewhat high startup cost for the equipment, but saving money in the end if you plan on shooting a crap ton of shells and bullets.

reloading shotgun shells? lol. And Nagant ammo is $6 for 20, so not bad at all.

The 360 is weird, like before it would get the red ring sometimes, sometimes not, then one day it worked perfect, turned it on several times without issue. Now i have tried turning it on like 50 times and gets red ring every time.

Do you know how to pull the code? Could be a dead DVD drive from what you said before. Which is a $30 fix.
