So it’s abundantly clear that I will not be buying a car this year, because I’m buying a house, and adopting a kid, and that’s a “not a bad way to blow 10 grand”. But the good news is some major stuff is now fixed on the Galant so it’s not longer a PITA to daily drive.
However I still carry a flame for my 91 Civic hatch and need to own another one. So my plan is next April I should have about 4,000 bucks to spend on a car, and my wife has agreed to this. So im going to search nation wide and find the cleanest souther Civic hatch I can, fly to where it is and drive it home, and keep the Galant as a winter car. When the day comes I’ll be asking you southern Opponauts to help me in my search. I thank you in advance.

I could try, but there’s very few 90's hatches here in the Houston area. I was looking before moving back here and couldn’t find anything :(

As a guy who owned a 91 LX sedan, and had imported a B16/LSD trans, wiring harness, ECU, purchased axles, and cooling upgrades, and then had to sell it all off before project completion (because of life 18 years ago), and ended up buying the new version of what he wanted so many years ago (08 Si Sedan), hell yes.
I’m in Virginia, most of that generation Civic held up pretty well here. I’ve got a shop/lift/storage space, I’d be more than willing to poke and prod a prospective purchase for you.

Congrats! Since you are adopting a child, you obviously need a Suburban. Don’t you know anything!

We have a 2010 Fit. For the family hauler. I’d say it’s about the perfect size for 3 people.

I’ve been looking in Texas. Dallas seems to be the place to go. Cheap to fly as well.

I did the “buy a house not a car” thing last year, it was a good decision. Good luck with the search (both house and car)!

We found a house we like enough to give a low ball offer on. It’s great but needs some work.
