Thanks for the tips; I'm glad that you had a great time in yours for that matter, and it was good to hear about it as well.

I can't blame you on swapping out that timing belt, and seeing as inclement weather is relatively common around here I'll be sure to keep that in mind. :D

Thanks for the information; I'll keep those points in mind when looking.

Thanks for the insight; I'll keep that in mind when searching.

Thanks for the advice. I'll see how much that budget'll stretch, ha.

Thanks for the info!

Sorry to hear about that. A shame that they're such popular targets.

Was it ultimately recovered? I've never personally driven one, but there's gotta be a reason why many seem to enjoy the hell out of them, and what you outlined above just might be it.

I'm sorry to hear about the multiple thefts; damn thieves just can't get enough of 90s Honda products it seems.
