Default That time of year again

Yep, away she goes again for the winter now that summer is over. As is now customary I take a going away photo op. Time just seems to fly by and I honestly just didn't drive this car very much this year. Anyway, not really anything different with my boring old EM1 but I do plan on a few choice upgrades over the winter to round her out.

Tallys and stats for '07:
Oil changes: 1
Total miles: 872
New Mods: 0
Road Trips: 1 (Danbury meet)
Waxed: 6 or so times

Few pics that I snapped for the hell of it (My photo skills suck and I have point and shoot and no PS, well I have pS just too lazy). I really like this old abandoned house around the corner from me.

Hi:


Obligatory side view:


Mini vans are cool:


Mad JDM Anglez:


In the weeds:


Pretty clean paint if I do say so myself:


My fav of the day:


Well until next time.

Now that I can agree with. With those big wheels you should be rocking a nasty brake setup

Correct on both counts.

I have my polished Si's but honestly I like these wheels although alot h-t doesn't and that's OK.

Thanks. I have thought about a brake upgrade but truth be told I'm cheap.

The 17s are a nice break from the cookie cutter civics in this forum.
Nice stance too!

Yeah, they'd do wonders. They'd make it look like every other car on here.

Looks good as it sits.
