I haven’t spent a single dime on repairs since the build (except for the broken glass – damn you thief!). The CRX has proven again and again to be light years more reliable than my 2005, 60k miles, Subaru Outback. This car has left me speechless in amazement. Now with no radio, speakers or amplifiers and virtually no electronics running in the car, it now gets 40 mpg easy!

My only gripe is the car has developed series of nasty rust spots. First, by the left rear wheel well, now on the A-pillar and all over the damn sunroof…

The motor, trans and brakes are as strong as ever but the body rust is getting worse every week. The a-pillar rust on the driver’s side is growing faster than ever.
Just over 2 years in Chicago and the rust is popping up faster than a teenager’s zit. Damn! I love this car but I don’t know if I will be able to commit to the whole body overhaul…
