I know that the Off-Topic section is for everything but our CB7s, but since this topic will not fit in the other sections, I will go ahead and post it here. Please move the topic if need-be moderators. Thank you.
Ok. Let me start with my first love, the A20A3 1989 Accord LXi 4 door. I bought her the summer before my senior year in highschool. As far as she was concerned, I bought her simply to have a ride to school and nothing else. Incase you were wondering why I label my cars "her", it is quite simple. Treat your car like you would treat a lady. With dignity, care and respect. You do that, and she will take care of you. Simply put.
When I bought my A20A3, I had no desire whatsoever to make her into something greater than herself. Long story short, I started hanging out with the mini-truckin' crowd and thought that I could make my LXi into a shaved wonder. Holy shit was I wrong lmfao. To end this sad story, lets just say that I ended up killing my first love. I'll leave it at that.
Now comes the story of my current beauty. I looked and looked and looked at every Honda dealership in my local area. Damn, it was hard to find a car. But, good things come to those with patience. I was browsing the internet dealership sites one day when what did I come across? An Arcadia Green 1993 Accord EX Coupe 2 door (thats right, the F22A6
) sitting right on my screen. I read the information on her as I always did with cars, and it looked like a decent deal. Little did I know that upon arriving at the dealership in question, that sweet little ride was on an extra special discount that was not posted on the website. As always, I pushed and pushed to get the price as low as possible. I ended walking away with this sweet little ride (which had 1 original owner and 83,587 original miles as of September 2004) for $6,366. Even though she had no warranty (as is), I talked the dealership into fixing her broken antenna mask assembly.
Fast forward to the present time.
Only recently (actually, around the time I signed up here at CB7tuner.com lol) have I had a desire to make my daily driver into something greater than herself. That story short, here I am.
Just today (read on, its stupid), I found out that the F22A6 has 140hp and 142ft.lb torque. This whole time, I thought that I was running the F22A1 (125hp and 137ft.lb torque). I thought to myself, "holy shit. 20 more hp and I'll be running with the Civic Si lol). Now, I never rough up my baby. In the almost 2 years I have had her, I might have pushed her into the red-limit 2 or 3 times. I baby the shit out my CB7 lol. Once I figured out that I was running the F22A6, I decided tonight to open her up and see what she could do. Holy shit is all I can say. For a bone stock 4 cyl. CB7, my baby could move! This brings me to typing this post.
I now realize that I have fallen in love with my '93 CB7. The only problem I have ever had with her was some leaky coolant (fixed with a new hose hehe). I have always treated her with respect, and in return, she has rewarded me with alot of good times (damn that sounds ***, but I swear it isn't. true CB7 fans will understand where I am coming from). I just realized tonight (right before I typed this) that I have fallen in love with my CB7. I am willing to work my ass off and spend every extra penny I have to making her greater than I ever thought she could be. It is almost as if I have a human bond with her (damn I'm sick lmfao). I clean her daily and I could care less what people think about her (to an extent of course) as she is my sweet cinderella.
I could type some more, but I'll leave my post at that. I am sure you can get the jist of my strong feelings for my car. She is a beautiful machine that I respect like a person. I can't wait to see what the many more years have in store for us. It is going to be one hell of a ride!
Whew, that was crazy. Just typing as I think. Thanks for listening! I hope that every last one of you feels the same way. If not, you are doing your CB7 an injustice!
