Okay, here's the first pic of my new car. I'll upload a few more in a few more posts. :)

It's a 1998 Accord, though I'm not sure what model (LX or EX) because it doesn't say on it,(odd, but perhaps because it was special ordered by the original customer) and I haven't put much time into finding out.

It's about 99.9% mint condition, both inside and out. As you'll see in the last pic, it's got their 3.0 V6 VTEC engine in it. It's got a 4 speed automatic, which is a bit of a bummer, but I'm gonna love this car anyway. It's got power everything, including the driver's seat. It's also got ABS. Right now it has 94,802 miles on it. The exterior color is "Black Current Pearl", the interior is "Quartz". If you want any more details, just ask. :)

Good buy Endo
..those cars will easily do 200,000 to 250,000 miles without any internal engine work

Now all you need is a 5-speed, lightweight flywheel, cold air intake, decent catback, a wide throttle body, and a 75-shot wet kit. Then you can see the vtec's true power. Sure, it'll last you a lifetime, if you only let it work to half of its potential. ;)

Seriously though, nice ride.

good choice...i got a new civic lx in march. love it.

btw its probably an EX or SE. Easy way to tell is if it has a moonroof, the LX usually isnt V6 nor does it have a moonroof. Unless it was a special order from the factory.

I'm pretty sure it's a special ordered LX. One thing it doesn't have that I'm pretty sure EXes have is alloy wheels. It also does not have a moonroof (unfortunately), as you can tell fairly well from the first pic.

But I'm seriously loving this car already. :)

And I just found out from my insurance agent that I actually paid $3,000 less than retail value for the car, as the interior is in ultra-clean condition.

Thanks for the suggestions KC2ILQ, but I do want this car to last me as long as possible, and it's already got more than adequate ponies for me. Pretty big step up from my '89 4cyl. :D

LordKwiKSilva00- If you are gonna throw glass packs into a 98 accord, then you might as well paint Uncle Ben's picture on the side. Besides, who wants to hear your car from three miles away anyhow?

Blackwatch, that's a great idea. I have my '89 registered there, but I'd forgotten about it.

I just registered my new one, and it calls it an LX-VA.

And thank you all for the kind words and compliments. :)
