I'm really bummed about it, drove it in to work this morning and I felt that the tranny just wasnt acting right...flash forward to lunch time. I go out...car is now feeling REALLY shitty in reverse and acting really strange. I grab some chicken out, drive back and in the driveway to my parking garage. RAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBWAHBWAHBWAHBWAHBWAH(soun d of my rev limiter)...hmm the car is in D4...shift it to D3...same, 2?...same...1??!? same.. FUCK!!

Yea so i'm done with this goddamn Sedan, i'm prolly gonna go out now and pick up a used 2000 Civic Si. Someone please cheer me up, I've lost a loved one. Even tho we've had out fights here and there, that car has given me some good times.

Was the Chicken Out any good?
I would be bummed too... My hatch stalled in the middle of a service rode while it was raining buckets. I got out and pushed, while my girlfriend steered toward the side of the rode, Engine blew. I feel for you.

That's really a bummer man. I know the feeling I've had a motor go boom before. Look on the bright side a SI will be a lot more fun!

Yes, everything happens for a reason...keep the memories and knowledge you gained from this car and apply it towards your next project.

yea but after coming home and reviewing the funds and talking it over with mom, i'm prolly gonna go for a hatch for around 2 grand or so. or an EX coupe that in decent running condition for the same amount of dough.
