    Default I rode to VA for 20hrs to get this

    I've been looking for a hatch for a while now. I can't find a good deal locally,so I went and try my luck at HT.com . I finally found a good deal on this hatch and the price is way cheaper than the hatches being sold locally in here.

    It's totally stock unmodified except for the shiftknob and the alpine cd player.
    I totally don't regret going there by greyhound and went straight bach home.

    What do y'all think?

    the car looks in great shape where'd you pick it up in VA? If you don't mind, how much did you pay for the car?

    Well few reasons:
    1.I don't have my own car, and it's so ineffecient to keep borrowing my parents' car.So I get me a loan and buy it.
    2.The small mini motor that has great MPG.With Gas prices going up and Rita coming again, I don't wanna take the risk.
    3.It's a good base model for a project car.
    4.I got it for a heck of a deal...lower than KBB.

    Full tank of gas for dx I think is 11.0 Gallons. So if u are a broke ass guy like me, u shld consider getting it.It's almost the same as the hybrid.

    I don't mind the long ass ride.What I do mind is when they stop and ask u to change buses at some terminal twice and ask u to wait for 2 hrs each,

    2 questions. Why did it take 20 hours to get to Virginia? It took me about that to get to Connecticut to pick up the galant. AND why aren't there any clean civics in your price range down here?

    I should have said clearer.20 hrs back and forth to and from VA. Actually it's 25 hrs to be exact. For ur second questions, IDK..I guess people in atl love hatchback. Just look at the FS sections. They are selling it more than 3 grand.
