Just Bought

[plumers]

Those of you who haven't put any or very little into repair bills, consider yourself DAMN lucky.

I just think my car was a lemon from the start. The day after I bought it, the Idle Air Control went horribly bad...had to replace many things....etc.
Apparently the engine in it wasn't original either.... damn POS auction car.

Consider yourselves lucky. Had my old Galant been in better mechanical condition? I would have kept it and modded it...but...my faith in Mitsubishi's has diminished since I got the Civ.

This lil' 1994 Civ' EX VTEC has 195k on it---unrebuilt motor, unrebuilt tranny, body is straight, all the past owner did was change the oil and service it regularly. All it has is a tiny lifter tick which is typical of Civics.
It is running proof that Honda's do last forever if they are taken care of...

That one Galant? All I did was baby it, and drove her hard when race time came, but it fell apart. If the Civic ever gets totaled, I will definitely consider buying an 8th gen Galant.

But...good luck with your Galant's guys. They're good vehicles if they are well taken care of from mile 1.

Dude, What's lemon anyway?
