Default Bye to the 4 banger!

I have come to see the light. I am in Iraq right now, and my dad is gonna be pickin up a Z-28 for me. I have a turbo charged honda crx, but thanks to a great friend "LS96TA", he has shown me the way. He even hooked me up on findin the car on here and gettin the info. Glad to get away for the slow, expensive imports. BTW, I'll be sellin the Honda if anyone knows someone lookin for one. Dbout it, but just thought i would throw that in there.
