Hello from Maryland

Hey everybody. I bought a root beer colored 1991 Wagovan from the auction. Graveyard people were bidding so I wasn't going to let that happen. One owner, 160k miles, clean body, clean interior, electrical gremlins lol. Maryland rules allow 20-year-old cars to be registered as historic, which means no emissions and inspection so I'm just going to work on it for the next year and get historic tags as soon as 2011 rolls around.

And a here's a little about me, I guess. My name is Ami. I'm 22, I study Automotive Technology and Business Administration, and work in the automotive aftermarket. I have two Integras, a daily driver GS-R and a JDM fronted project GS-R waiting to have a GT2871R slapped on it. I'm so excited about this Wagovan! Please excuse the crappy cell phone pictures.

    It won't get the 2871R but I like to recycle so the Wagovan has dibs on some of my parts already.
    And thank you all for the warm welcome! I'm really excited about this whole new Wagovan thing!

    Blades from my GS-R #1.

    Yesterday, I bought an alternator, a battery and an Exedy clutch kit. The inop JVC cassette deck was tossed aside for an Acura OEM CD player that was lying around. Gotta love recycling. :lol: I should be driving this thing around starting the 12th or so, then come the blades... Can't wait!

    With a new alternator, battery, brake pads and clutch, this Wagovan is good to go! This car is surprisingly smooth, and my only wish was that it was RT4WD. I took the Wagovan to a Team-Integra meet today. Everybody seemed to like it. 8) As for me, I'm in love.

    Hah, thanks! Integra meets here in Maryland can get wild... I am apparently supposed to spend a week riding around with "FREE CANDY" written on the Wagovan in painter's tape. :lol:

    You know, I don't see too many Wagovans out by my way. I've seen, like, two... ever. Three if you include mine, haha. Most 20-year-old cars on the East Coast are in the junkyard by now, unfortunately.

    I have heard this question dozens of times over the years, lol... And the answer is always: never! I have speed bumps in my neighborhood. Besides, I'm a "do it right or do it twice" kinda person and doing it right is just more money than I really need to be spending on my third car.

    Thank you! I tried really hard to focus on midterms and the Wagovan was my reward at the end of a very arduous week!
  • leWolfleWolf Senior Wagonist
    Disco potato wagon! :lol: Looks like it's in good shape.
  • B18Ch1ckB18Ch1ck Wagonist
    So the starter decided it didn't want to start today... Just my luck, I had put some vise grips in my purse on Monday and never took them out. The starter is pretty new, but whatever... :roll: At least this happened while I was on the clock and getting paid to smack the Wagon lol.

    Oh, I almost forgot this:

    Dead image!? :lol:
  • B18Ch1ckB18Ch1ck Wagonist
    On Friday night, the starter shorted out and melted the battery... Thankfully, it was isolated quickly enough that the car didn't catch fire. I did inhale a lot of smoke though... That was a rough night. Silly eventful Wagovan...
  • udubrx7udubrx7 Senior Wagonist
    Wow good thing you caught it quickly, glad you're OK!

    Nice to see more and more females out there modding cars! There is definitely something to say about any girl who can tastefully modify a vehicle!

    (granted, pedobear may not be the moste "tasteful" of bears, lmao) - I've still gotta tag all my friends' cars with the collection of pedobear stickers I have laying around.
  • x88EE4xx88EE4x New Wagonist
    awesome to see a girl into hondas, and actually know what she's doing.
    and as far as i can see from the reflection in the window, an attractive one. haha.

    looking forward to seeing some updates.

    What part of maryland are you from?
  • B18Ch1ckB18Ch1ck Wagonist
    Thank you, everybody! And cb723, I was born and raised in Montgomery County. Can you imagine how much fun an RT4WD Wagovan would have been in our blizzard?
