well all i've come up with is that it was an accord. i never saw the car cuz my buddies were setting everything up for me. but after i allowed them to look under my hood:

guy 1- 'that's all?'
guy 2- 'THAT'S ALL!?! '

then they all walked away and said NOTHING. guess one of 2 things happened there, they didn't know what to expect from the oe 2.3 or they honestly thought i didn't 'have enough'.

i jus wanna line em up one time :-D
