I'm new to the site but not new to forums. I'm the oddball gear head, because I'm into all types of automobiles. I live in the Hillyard Bourogh of North Spokane.

I've had two Civics in my life, an 87 Si hatch (my favorite) and an 97 DX coupe. I'm currently looking to get another 86-87 Si Hatchie for better gas milieage, but work has been slow with all the snow. I've been scraping by this past month or so, I'm not in any shape to get another one right now, even though there are a couple outside of town for cheap. Hopefully in the next couple months.

My last Civic, the Hatchie, I did a De-Vac on it and got rid of the parts. I'll admit and join the club now, I got a no insurance ticket back in 2006 and I said Fuck It to paying a $65 reinstatement fee and SR-22 insurance. So I moved to Spokane so I could ride the bus. But, the Civic was not registerable because there was no way it was passing emmisions anymore. So I decided to build an EP Auto-X car out of it. I had it all gutted and tore apart down to a shell. I ended up losing the shop I was using because it was on the next property next to the house I was living in. So I loaded the shell up onto a trailer and towed it to a buddy's field, where it sat for the last year and a half, and is thrashed. So I decided to cut my losses and have it crushed when my buddy has the crusher come to his property.

I started off loving muscle cars and hot rods when I was a kid, and am still a Fox-Body Mustang fan through and through. Mostly I'm into 4x4's these days, but I'm considering buying a $50 82 Chevy C-10 to build a little Street Truck out of.

So my hands are always full. I've been told I have "too many cakes in the oven", and that's why I haven't gotten too much done lately. Other than I have to lay in a snow bank to do any work for now.

Thanks for a local site.

EDIT: That isn't my hatchie in the sig, but it's one of the nicest EW's I've seen

Must have missed my Ninja Edit at the bottom of my post. I can't take credit for that EW.
