Default I had no idea hatchbacks were that hot.

It's been a week I took out a small personal loan for a car and new catback. I figured it would be easy to find an EG hatch but hot damn I found 7 in CT and NH and every single one sold within 2 days of it being advertised. There's one more up in Rochester NH but it has rear quarter rust all the way through and I'm not to sure if I'm willing to tackle that.

So the one in Boston fell through, huh? I just sold my old radiator & fan w/shroud for $30 cause I got a new one and the guy that bought it had nothing but horror stories about how is last 2 EG HBs were ripped off. He bought the radiator to put it back together (stripped) and sell it. Living in L.A.... I better be careful. Are they rippin' 'em off like crazy on the East Coast?

Yeah, the one in Boston got sold a day before I was going to go up and buy it. Kinda pissed me off because I had rented a dolly for the Jeep and canceled my plans for the weekend but oh well. There's a lot of theft in some of the bigger cities but I'm never around them. I live in a small country town with a population of like 1500. And the surrounding towns are Colechester which was named the 50th best place to live in the US and Franklin where there are probably more farm animals than people.

It's rediculous. A stealership in New London wanted 3995 for a 94 VX with 257k and it sold for that price with no negotiations.

the fact that you can take a honda hatch, swap out the engine and put in pretty much anything from b16 to k24 is the new craze

btw, I sold my ek for 7k and it was 96 with 150k miles. STOCK.
