Re: There is nothing wrong with Hondas

["Chris Chemidlin" <spredhaus@hotmail.com>]

The funny thing about the whole Civic Si thing is, I sold it for more 
$$$ 6 months after I bought it and bought a $100 GLi instead. I didn't  
like being off the team. I also had no connections in the VW parts 
world, and I really couldn't fix it! Glad to be back in a VW daily 
driver-----read between the lines here, floks----THE GLi IS ALIVE!! 
THANKYOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HELPED!
