I clearly have low IQ.

No. MVS clearly has some moderators without enough to do.

You heard him abscate. Need to buy more cars to donate more cars. I'll take a 97 turbo 855 so I can tow my odyssey to flex around town. These diesel guys have big egos with their '6 inch' liftkits if you get my drift. I'll flatten 'em. Robert said 9k was too much in the mountains but I'm sure a manual 855 wouldn't sweat with 5k or even 7k on mild hills.

Today I drained the trans fluid, replaced the trans filter/orings, added a trans cooler, and filled fresh trans fluid. I need to make sure this automatic transmission lasts a good while while I save money to buy a 6 speed manual. BTW the 2003-2007 accord v6 6sp/2006-2008 TL 6sp is equal to the 2000s s60R 6sp, except for the novelty of the Volvo.

I'm sorry, I just now saw your reply. Suspension will need a few parts before it gets a needed alignment. Already did a Stage 0 on the transmission. Still need to do a tune-up on the engine. My main concern is the timing belt kit. I could not find a car fax history, a sticker, or any dealer info about a timing belt. At the moment I'm on edge about that, hoping the belt doesn't jump or break. I won't have the money for a timing belt kit for another month and a half.

Hey, I nailed it!

I am confused by your joke. Can you please explain it?

That’s a recycled joke!! Make sure the horn works and don’t put a Siren on it if it doesn’t (you will have to read below for that one)

Lol I appreciate the copy of the Odyssey you sent me from Amazon Prime.
