Fortunately the hardest part of the exhaust install/removal are the (2) rubber hangers. LOL

Missing the Fit every single day. This is hard. I plan to get a 240sx hatch when I get the funds, then since the Fit will be sitting at my dad's house indefinitely, I'll eventually buy it back from him and continue building it. It just sucks not having my baby. Hope everyone else is doing well though!

Tires

Also put some handkook ventus v2 on the fronts to replace my bald and plugged old fronts. I have yokohama avid accents on the back that are in good shape and would like to compare the 2 since that seems to be the 2 tires you guys like here.

The Yokohamas cost 30 more per tire but they have lots more tread depth and look like they would do better in the snow. Also they look nicer to me...

the handkooks are noticeably softer(more grippy) and cost less.

yokos run 90 a tire while hands are 60. Buying on amazon is the best way to go if your in the market.

Got my oil changed today.

According to the tech at Honda it looks like I've used about 20% of my brake pad life.

They're the original pads & I have 80k miles on the car.

TFW my driving habits are justified.

Nah, I just engine brake as much as possible & leave a cushion to the car in front of me. I plan on selling my car next spring, otherwise I'd like to aim for 200k out of brake pads.

My brother actually owns an Insight. My parent's house looks ridiculous when we're both home visiting.

Good luck on finding a good 240 SX Hatchback! I had one when they first came out...now, I never see them anymore, and rarely see the notchback!!

Picked up this Storm Silver Metallic 2009 GE 5MT a few weeks ago, completely detailed inside and out, removed all the water spots and this now looks as good as new. Tint goes on later today.
