btw, the Civic had been wrecked more times than I can count, the engine in it was non-original (D16Y8 from a junkyard, paid $750 for it) swapped out by me and a buddy, and was loosing about a qt of oil every 2 weeks. The passenger door handle had broken off earlier that Winter, along with the hood latch that was also broken (inside the cab)...The engine probably had somewhere around 80k on it when I got rid of it...if the guys at the junkyard were honest about the mileage on the engine when I bought it...who knows...The car had about 170K on it, so I feel like I did decent on the trade in...considering this was a 12 year old Civic, with a sticker price of $15,500 new...
