Here it is:

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/PB198361.jpg

It's a 2003 Civic Hybrid. 5 speed manual, 68,xxx miles. I looked at lots of other cars, but I have to say I really love the idea of awesome gas mileage. Better for the wallet and the planet.

This car will NOT be getting a fart can, stickers, ironing board wing, pizza pan sized tach, nawwwwssssss or any of the like. It probably will get some tasteful wheels at some point though.

Here's a picture of the engine bay and the massive 1.3 liter powerplant. The cable with the orange loom is main battery power, 144 VDC.

not bad man so how good does it do on gas. I would get rid of the hybrid logo and put a nice set of rims on it and run it.

EPA mileage is 38 city, 45 highway. Haven't even put gas in it yet so I'm not sure what I'm getting. I'm thinking about getting these wheels for it:

It's really quiet, you kinda have to watch the gauges to know when to shift because you can barely hear the engine, even under load.

In the words of Jeff Dunham, when you here a hybrid driving down the highway you hear "Iiiiiiiiiiiiii'mmmmmmmm gggggggaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!" hahahaha.
Joking buddy. Congrats on the new DD.
