What all work have I done to it that really adds up to the cost in repairs that the truck needed?

 

Not saying the total is the same you just seem pretty motivated to fix this car and doesn't seem like you had that same motivation w/ the truck...

 

Ah. That's because the truck had no purpose, it wasn't good on gas, wasn't good in the mud or off road, and wasn't fast.

I drive this car a lot and I like it a lot more then the Mazda, I have put over 2000miles on it in the month I have owned it. I love being able to go fast and get awesome mpg. Its a nifty little car.

 

The truck hauled you around, correct? If so, then it had a purpose.

How fast we talking?

 

It hauled me around and cost me about 60dollars a week in gas.

Not that fast but I like doing 85 on the highway not 60.

 

I do 85 on the highway with my 4 banger and 33's.

And I can put 2,000 miles on my truck in a week.

 

And she probably gets twice the gas mileage you do. Don't ruin this thread again guys

 

More like triple.

And I agree, enough thread ruining

 

Atleast you got one of the GOOD Accords and not a Civic.

 

How many miles tho'? I usually spend $60 a week too, but that is with gas at $1.43 a gal.

 

Very few, I was only driving to work, school and fun places. The last time I drove to Jacksonville and back (170miles one way) I spent 130dollars total on gas. With the accord I spend about 20bucks for the same drive.

 

atleast you had a 3.0. I'm filling up my 4.0 every 200-230 miles.

 

being spent on gas.

by the way i was looking thru my docs and i have the entire HONDA SERVICE MANUAL for this car ... its 49.5 mb in pdf, let me know if you want to do an aim direct connect and i send it to you or somethiin

 

the truck got like 8mpg because it was neglected, dont blame the truck...

 

+1

I have the same engine/tire size/gearing and according to my odometer after I factor in the percentage that it is off it says I am getting 17mpg city.

 

i have 33 4:10s and a 5spd and i see 20 regularly, not in the winter though, its all on what you do to em

 

+2

 

 

dpfi ftl.

 

I got 15mpg city and 19highway

Now I get 25 and 33

 

yea.... but you have to drive a honda to do that..... its not worth it!

 

if you dont haul **** and you drive many miles then a honda is worth it, i would still be driving one if i didnt start driving less and hauling **** / camping / moving more.

 

i guess i just like the safety and security of my tank, rather than driving a honda and being vulnerable to the likes of me. I mean, my big steel front bumper is at the same height as your skull when your in a honda. When or if Sh*t hits the fan, who's gonna come out unharmed......... the tank. Is saving a couple miles a gallon really worth it?

 

Tank? LMAO

Go hit a Dodge Ram or Hummer and see how your 'tank' holds up.


Cant hit what you cant catch, so Im safe.

I think his bumper is above your skul
