Hey, can anyone run a carfax or autocheck by any chance? I'm about to look at another car tomorrow (this one is local, which is a nice change from the 10 hour drive of the last car 
), but I just would like to make sure that nothing comes up on the vehicle history.

PM me the VIN and I'll get to you as soon as I can.
Unfortunately, it turned out that the car was in an accident.

u know what's funny? i had the similar story about the "4" quarts of oil...
this guy owns an red ap1 was also former member of s2ki ... ap1..
met this guy from a car meet, and we used to have a weekly gathering.
one weekend we were bored and decided to check our oil levels, (different cars at scene, is300, s2k, is350, evo, sti, etc)
this guy... i pulled his dip stick out.. it had nothing, so i was like wtf, i tried again... NOTHING.
prior arriving to the location we hung out, he was racing the shit out of his car with some other guy on the freeway... and he claimed he had been driving like that since he got the car (approximately 20k miles.)
so i asked him, does ur car burn a lot? he said not sure, and i asked him "when did you changed ur oil" he replied "approximately 5k miles ago."
how much did u put in it?
" 4 quarts."
.............. wtf?
hey, u know ur car take 5.1~5.5 qts depending where u want the oil to be on ur dip stick/ kind of mod u have.. right?
he replied " ugh, no, my FRIEND DRIVES A WRX told me EVERY HONDA TAKES 4 QTS!"
.................................. complete silence..................
me: well, ur friend was wrong... here is a qt of oil from my friend... hes got a qt in his trunk for emergency... top it off...
we topped it off, started the motor, turned off the car waited for 5 min... pulled the dip stick out again, the oil was no where on the dip stick.
long story short,... he sold his car within 2 weeks and got himself an evo 8, and disappeared from the crowd.

^ Wow, some people are just plain retarded. Hearing stuff like that and seeing the quality of used cars that I have seen so far, its starting to make me weary about buying my first used car.
