I picked up my 01 silverstone with 16k from the original owner who only took it on golf trips. When I test drove the car, I ask the old man if it was okay for me to hit vtec just to make sure its timing was correct and he said go for it. He said, "Holy shit, I never have heard the car stream so load" and I then replied, "Sir, did I just break your cars cherry". He could not stop laughing and sold me the car for 12.6k.


I'm working on your top. Hoping to get you in this week.

Welcome, what are your long term plans, or you still thinking it through? And are you leaving your soft top installed?

Long term plans...not much. It's my DD to my other car, which is where most of my modding goes to. Plus, picking this up in such prestine/new condition, I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible; maintain the purity of the car. My other car is an 01 with 75k miles, purchased it at 25k miles. Still looks/smells new inside also

I'm going to leave the soft top installed under my hard top.

A few hours later I was going home in my bb ap2 with 9000 miles.
LOL nice pickup bro!

And reading that story halfway, I already predicted that was the sort of response that you were eluding to!

Of course, anything over 5k is the red zone LOL. epic fail.
