new to me, 05

picked up an 05 rl, 130k miles, I like it, been a honda/acura guy for quite sometime, even had a few built da integras back in the day..

Feels good to be back in a honda. Especially over the pos 01 grand cherokee I had. Talk about a nightmare of an suv..

Pics to follow... Its red, nothing special, but I love it.

Congrats on the RL!

grand cherokee is made by dodge / chrysler so no surprise it's a POS.

Hey thanks man, I cant get over how ahead of it's time this car was for being an 05.

Oh I know the fit and finish of the dodge/chrysler world, I had a momentary lapse of reason when I bought that pile. I had just finished up debuting the cherokee and the ram eco diesel and figured I'd give it a shot. Even parted out my tuned (265 awhp) and dropped audi a4 after I bought the grand cherokee. dumbest move, ever. LOL oh well, onto better things now!

Congrats on your purchase. I'm sure you'll love it. This is the only car that I plan on keeping until the wheels fall off.


I had a 96 GSR back in the day. Man I loved that thing. Just a few simple mods here and there. Only thing I hated was constantly being paranoid of it getting stolen being that it was left outside every night. Sure enough it did get stolen. Not outside of the house, but at school.

my all motor (14:1 compression) 93 integra ran 13.5@108 at sea level. It was a beast, it blew my mind when I put the quaife lsd in it, and could drift the front end through corners. lol.

I feel like almost every Civic/Integra story I hear ends with a theft... In Detroit, it's almost a broken record that a stolen one ends up a burned out, parted out shell

Anytime I made the trip to the detroit area for work or for demf, I would always disconnect my teg battery in the hotel lot. No one wants a car that they cant steal easy.
