That Honda life

[ChristopherJason]

So as most of you know i drive that cross breed of a civic/domani/el

well my insurance has fucked me for it so ive gone and bough her sister car

a Honda Domani Aka Acura EL





Picking her up on saterday

everything is changing to make this a better car then it is.

[rsingh3g]

So are you giving up on the civic?

[ChristopherJason]

Basicly The civic isno longer allowed on my insurance, so im buying this so i dont have to part out all my brand new pieces i can reuse.

the civic is getting stripped of my parts replaced with the EL stuff thats not needed and sold to my little brother.

but im driving the civic till May when my insurance renews then swaping the insurance to the Domani as of now thats the plan it could all change over the next little while but atm this is the new build.

[rsingh3g]

So you are not allowed to swap panels from different cars onto other cars?

[CrackerTeg]

How is a car not allowed on insurance?

How is a car not allowed on insurance?

That's what I was wondering

[ChristopherJason]

Let me explain better.

I under a high risk no modding allowed insurance.

when they found out i did a Acura Swap they when banana's and said you need to get another car to keep our policy or else were not renewing it.

so i bought this to keep insurance and everything from the civic is going on here.


new time for some more pics

Picking her up


Meeting camber



Spent all weekend at the hospital cause my niece was born

Destinee born Oct 5th at 2:28 Weighed 7 pounds 15 Oz's


Getting camber ready for winter and front off the el and my buddy genc showed up

[CrackerTeg]

Two things:
1. Your insurance sucks.
2. Your niece is a cutey. Almost makes me miss when my two boys were that small. Almost.
