Default Do you still have/drive the orignal car that you had when you signed up on Honda-Tech?

I've only been a member here since early 2004...but I've had the same car since August 2000 so it's been through a few stages. I don't see myself getting rid of it anytime soon either.
It's paid for, fun to drive, a blast to beat on, & maintenance is easy cheesy because you know the car inside & out. There have got to be many others here who are able to say the same.

Please commence.

What it looked like when I joined, but not how I bought it. (stock with no mods)


Progression.


Little more.


Now.

I signed up right at the beginning of 2006, so that's my 2 year anniversary I guess.

Heres the beginning:

Little later:




And here's her home for the winter:

What I had when I signed up. The paint was great, but it had about 10 body panels that needed to be replaced due to being in Michigan from the day it was purchased in 93.



I only had it for a few months after I signed up, then I got this.
Purple window tint, pinstripes, rusted out steelies, rusted out muffler and a blue interior.






During. My stepdad was too big of a ***** to hit me, so he hit my car with a concrete statue from my neighbor's yard.



During later on. Got a new fender and lowered it.


Got it painted, CF hood, LCA's, Tie Bar, thin molding, and later removed the tint. Then I went to my Rota and mega lip stage.





Now.

I have had the same car since August of 2000. It has been through many stages from ultra rice to where it is today. Unfortunatley I dont have any digital pictures of the rice times.

Here is it's current state:

Right on! Well your car is sick! Does your brother drive the silver teg with the JDM front?

That thing is sick too!

You should go to the OKC meet. Chris make sure you hit me up and let me know the info! We all need to hang out!
