Well, your wife's car average it out very nicely. Keep pushing your G!

The mileage for that tank wasnt my highest. I was able to do 39.1 awhile back. But my overall mileage in my ownership so far is about 33mpg

But 10k already

Oh, and I just got an email saying I won an oil change from my dealership..too bad I just serviced it last week

Nice like the LED lp lights. Makes it so much easier to run plates at night.

yea, a few of my buddies have been stopped for them. If I ever get stopped for them, I'll just tell him its more visible for him. Plus, a lot of cars come with them standard now.

And my fog lights barely shipped out today. I guess they were held up at the Honda lot. Tim took care of it for me though. Highly recommend buying from him.

The cops in my town pull you over for anything. My TL was a magnet. No front plate, window tint, 6K HIDs (too blue i guess) ect.

Off topic, are you a city cop or CHP?

I take the written and PA test for CHP in Feb. any tips? I'm considering doing a ride along.

Im worried about the running part. thats about it. Ive had knee issues off and on my whole life

Definitely not chp. Feel free to pm me with any questions about the hiring process. Each agency is a little different, one thing they all have in common is there's a lot of hurry up and wait.

I didn't know you wanted to be a cop B. I just turned one down because I have the baby an I rather have my mon-fri 730-4pm shift.

I love my LEDS in my license plate an reverse lights never had any problems. If I was to be pulled over I would say hey Lexus come factory with cold cathodes.

Lol so today I had a guy with a '12 pull up next to me and said thanks for making his "new" car look like shit he was pretty mad Honda redesigned a few things already.

There more and more I see '12s on the road, the more I'm glad I didn't end up with one.

I think you can get a good paint match, as the car isn't too old.

Too soon for an Asian driver joke?

I have a paint pen, but when I get my tax return, I'm going to get my trunk lip spoiler, and have my dads' buddy install it and fix the paint damage.

Sad thing is, I almost bought a used 07 SE V6 before the Civic because the deal was too good to pass up.

I'm at +15k miles already

Hoping to get close to service time by May since the oil change I won expires then.

Not really anything else to add. Kinda irritated that Honda put better looking wheels, push button start, a touch screen, and a few other things to the '14. Not sure how I feel about the switch to a CVT though.

I likes my CVT.

I think you need to buy a commuter and then buy the car you really really want. If u get into your career that your trying to go into, I think it should be a gift to yourself.

I find out next week if I passed the written test. Then onto the PAT test and interviews.

I will keep the Civic while I'm in the academy as I will be driving home from Sac on the weekends.

More than likely I'll move, and see how much budget is left for a funner car.

Thanks Aman

So my TPMS light came on again. Had a nail in my sidewall on the left rear. Two weeks ago I just had the right rear patched too. Now I had to buy a new left rear today

Front plate going on and side front window tint coming off.

I guess in order to pass the CHP background check, the car has to be violation free.

Oh well.
