New member of my family

Since I mentioned it in another thread, i figured I would expand just a little on the subject. recently, I bought another vehicle. and not what you would expect from me, but a 4x4(sorta) nun-the-less.

I needed a second vehicle for my mother, and this was something I could NOT pass up. its a 2001 Honda CR-V. It was a 1-owner, and the previous owner serviced it religously at the local Honda dealer. the CarFax report revealed such. it runs fantastic, looks cool and handles like a dream. AND on a recent trip up to Massachusetts with it, we averaged 29mpg! there is no way my Jeep, or any of my other previous vehicles, would have gotten mileage like that!

Anyways, she's pretty eh?

LOL Something only mother could love... Your a good son.

mamma knows how to slam them gears too huh?.. car is nice.. stealership must be treating you good.

Nice man. you know that B20Z engine under the hood of those CR-V's are some quick torquey little motors. A buddy of mine used to have an integra with a B20Z swap T3/T4 turbo combo stage 3 clutch and a ton of other stuff. That car pulled high 10's low 11's with strip tires on. With street's he turn a corner grab 3 gear break em loose in just like a FWD car in the snow the wheel was turned but you kept going straight!! Amazing little car sweet little motors!

Nice ride for mama though!!

Gota love them hondas, you service them, put fuel in them and drive them, thats all there is to it, the GF is driving an accord with 300k kms on the motor/trans, and 550k kms on the body/frame, its not the prettiest but it still drives straight and has pretty good pep for a car with the same displacement as a bottle of coke

Nice looking unit Junior, Id like something like that for the GF when her car dies, but she wants a Mitsubishi lancer

Congratulations Junior. What does mom think of it?

And what the hell were you doing in MA without calling me? Thats it, I am not waiting any longer, I am drinking your beer!

I was asked on a whim to drive a friend of a friend home.... I didn't even know the guy. We left PA after I got off work on a Saturday night and drove just over the massachussetts state line, dropped him off and headed home.... It was a fun road trip though....LOL

Next time though bud, next time. LOL

Nice! I almost bought one of those a few years back.

How is Mom liken her new ride?
