Default Third time my car surprised me!

so let me take you back to the beginning.

When I was test driving this yellow ap1 for purchase, on the CL ad, it did not mention many of the things that was on the car. As I was inspecting the car, I popped the hood, and saw a spoon strut bar. got a little smile, but nothing too big.

then little whiles after I purchased it, I was changing my brake pads and as I took off the tires, i could not believe my eyes, I had some Tein RA Coilovers/Shocks on this damn car and I did not even know it. This car only takes me to work and home, so I rarely push it, but I was shocked.

Then just now, the car hit 3,000 miles since the laster owner did an oil change at Honda, I went down under the car and couldnt believe my eyes, but a spoon X-brace under the car.

So im pretty happy, I wonder what I'll find next .

I probably would have been alittle happy and mad because I thought I was buying a stock car to find out it may have been tracked or driven hard.

ehh well the S wasnt built to grab groceries and come back home.

i dont mind if the driver was enjoying his own car a bit, as long as it drives perfect and straight (which it does).
