My 17 year old had been driving my 2006 Avalanche. The AV was a fantastic vehicle and had accumulated over 185000 miles. I drove it for the first 16000, then handed it over to my older son. I drove a VW Jetta TDI for a few years then bought a Malibu Hybrid. A truck with 12 MPG was getting old. So, after doing some work on the truck, it finally was needing a ton of work. Also, I was still paying $100 per week in gas. So, I decided to sell it. Did so, and used some of the cash to get a smaller car. After driving a few Camry cars, a Calica, and a Prelude, we happened upon a well-maintained 2001 CL Type S with only 150000 miles. My son fell instantly for it. Timing belt was done last month, along with oil change, smog, and transmission fluid. Though it is front wheel drive it is a nice car. I've always been a fan of Honda, and even owned a 2005 Saturn Vue with the Honda 3.5 V6, which was a rocket.



So, I'll be here asking questions and finding out what needs to be done. First on our list is an extra set of keys. I ordered new key fobs on ebay but am finding out these cars have immobilizers in the keys. A programmer seems to be $400 so I'll have to find a dealer to take my money.

Looking forward to learning!
