That was my exact reaction too! I love the look, it just mentally hurts my back thinking about how harsh the ride must be.

looks like it would be really hard on your ass, undercarriage and inside edge of the tires.

Thought I'd ask here instead of making a new thread:

I have a 97 Accord Coupe EX w/ 154k. It's not been treated well by my sister when she had it. Multiple accidents, nothing too severe. Still sports a big dent in the bumper/rear 1/4 from where she hit a pole. Needs a new clutch, most likely. Needs the timing belt service. Has a vibration at 60mph, but I don't think it's driveline. Needs new rotors and pads. Paint damage on the roof before and behind the sunroof.

So...I have a few options. First, I can fix the brakes and try to sell. Second, I can just try to sell right now. Third, I could give it away. I'm not going to fix everything, because it would be a waste of money to me - fixes would be more than I would be able to sell it for. I'd like to get $500 if I sell it. What should I do?

That's what I was leaning towards. As long as I sell it before mid-August, it will only cost me about $25 a month until then. I'm not paying ad valorem.

Washed it for the first time in months on Tuesday. You should have seen the grime.

Also detailed the engine bay, and got all the crap out of the trunk (before I put it back in bags). Found some kick-ass carpet cleaner to get all the coke stains out.

Nice accord, I had a 95 2dr ex 5mt but no H22 though. I saw the pic with the mountains and had to check where your location is. I've probably been there before, I've been to the three forks area a couple times. I grew up in Hamilton and lived in Missoula for a while before moving here. Nice pics.
