i have a 95 honda civic ex 2door, with 218,XXX miles on YA ALOT! i figured eh ill buy it cheap it'll die and i'll get something after my driving experience is at an all high, well...after winte ri gigured it would croak, and still nothing. it is a beast, the peopel before me told me it is allllll highway miles. so that leaves me with the shitiest paint job ever, the front looks like a million pimples from rocks. nothing on the car has ever gone wrong since ive had it for the past yr and a half. i have the problem lots of people do, i liek to spend money, lots of it...so of course i waited to do anything to my car and now its summer again with my car and i want to start modding it, Do you guys think that...i should say 'fuck it' and get a new paint job and dont look at the miles, get a new car(if so let me kno where an integra gsr or type R speed is OR 96+ HB 5speed) or what else, i dont kno what do you all think?

you say you dont like your car enough to swap - so why keep it? get something you like.

You're going to spend more on a TypeR/GSR then you will by putting a motor and a paintjob in your EX. And you already have a better motor than all of us hatch guys have to begin with. So what I'm trying to get across...just work on the EX. No one ever said that a 95 coupe wasn't "cool"...rawk it out.

*light bulb* Now I seeeeeeee. Well...You can get some cash out of the altezzas on Ebay, but not enough to get rid of the tranny.

You were withholding valuable information, Mr. Cascino. Buy another car and keep that auto EX for a runaround.

i agree. you aren't going to get shit for any car with that many miles on it, wether you sell it to some 16 year old kid or trade it in. might as well keep it as a daily driver and get a new car to work on.
