300 dollars that's fucking crazy, see all you have to do is hook up with someone in the military and that should be easy in VA. Then go to any hobby shop in one of the base they have all the tools you need and must of the time is 1 dollar an hour from what I remember in Norfolk atleast.

damn, wish I had the money to drop my Prelude but things are a little tight right now. Got other obligations that need funding so lowering it is a good way down the road. Though if I do drop it I'll say goodbye to most driveways and have to drive like a grandma around certain places. Not really on the top of my "to do" list for the car anyway, but someday...

You going to the Prelude meet by the way?
