Ha, ya right. :-) Around half the CRX's on Ebay at any given
time are highly modified--different engine, muffler,
whatever. I wish the used car sites would break down cars by
"riced" vs. "OEM (or maybe Autozone) parts only." My upper
limit for a parts car is $1500, as well. My interest is fuel
economy, not racing like a 17-year-old teenage boy. :-)
