Response from the “Real hubby” of the old Honda Civic
Hi folks, I’m the hubby with that 10 yr old Honda Civic whom my lovely wife “chided” me. There was a fake reply out there but the admin will know I’m the real McCoy (hint: only admin knew the post was sorted from another whisperer’s submission)
Just following up for the curious minds. Nope, I don’t have to sleep in my car. Nope she’s not that angry and merely just messing with me (admittedly I was really caught off guard). I was like “WTF” when reading it and we both giggled throughout the comments section!
The story is real although some facts were exaggerated. Now she wants me to be the spokesperson since I have “fans” siding me…lol
Truth be known, she has no problem with me spending on my hobby but her issue is more on the communication part. I admit I should not have hide the fact that I was spending so much and so fast modding the car. But I want to spend one-shot to mod the car and get over it so I can have fun with the car… without the nagging. If I was more upfront earlier she wouldn’t have made a fuss. That is wrong on my part.
Anyway, we reconciled and enjoyed the comments. She didn’t knew her post will trigger so many car enthusiasts and garnered so much reaction!
And to answer the rest who are interested:
Yes, it’s an FD2R (white, yr 2008) and I’m loving it! Always wanted a Tyre R, a fren is selling his, easy done deal.
The 25k is not the real amount (she wrote that to scare me lol) it was lower actually.
What I spend on:
– G25 rims
– RE71R tyres
– Classified coilovers, for privacy in case you all CSI me. Workshop took down my car photo too.
– Endless Mono 6 potter
– Exedy stage 1clutch
– GruppeM intake (2nd hand)
– Ceramic coating package
– various engine components, sparkplugs, gasket and fluid replacement… really wear and tear
– other mods done by previous fren owner.
– more to come (maybe)
Thanks all … signing off Mr YZH (that’s not my real initial too, more like my nickname’s initial)
Ps: Will not reply/post anymore follow ups…
