Alright, I am confused....
I checked the CarFax on the TSX that I wanted, and it turned out perfectly clean..
2004 Carbon Grey 6M Non-Navi
I drove it, and I bought it, this is where the story starts...
I go to get an alignment because I didn't notice it needed one when I test drove it, and I find out that the left front wheel is out of camber by 1.5 degrees (at 1 degree instead of -0.5)
Every wheel is curb checked at least twice...
The car has perfect window tint on it, definitely professionally done
It has the stock amp and door speakers, but with Pioneer Competition 6x9s that cost about 500 a pair...
Engine runs perfectly smooth, shifter is perfect, clutch is great, car is in good working condition besides the alignment (which I have decided to fix with an Ingalls camber kit, see thread "Front Camber Adjustment?")
Also... when you look at the box section beam that connects the two frame rails together underneath the radiator you see that it is deformed and bent in 3 spots, meaning that the guy before me hit something pretty bad and got it fixed, without Carfax knowing (the body shop guy did an awesome job though!)
So I guess my question is, what kind of person knows how to drive a manual very well, has the money to fix a car without insurance, has good taste to put tint on the car, likes good speakers and pays a lot for them, but doesn't know how to power them correctly, and hits curbs all the live long day?
I mean, seriously?

lol I was expecting people to laugh,
I don't really mind about the bent frame rail, the car is perfect besides that... even if it was in an accident (which is strange, because any good body shop would have replaced that frame rail, and the work must have been done by a GOOD body shop...
I'm just confused thats all lol
