Before I got my ti, I had a 94 Accord auto that I really grew attached to and had plans for a Prelude motor swap and a 5-speed swap. I got the ti though and gave her away to my cousin. __________________ McLaren F1 - BMW M Power S70/2 | | | 07-19-2010, 04:48 AM | #6 | Member Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: NC Posts: 33 | Maybe instead of hating women, you should hate that you are so bad at picking them? | | | 07-19-2010, 04:51 AM | #7 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | zzzzzzzzzZING! __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
