Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

GM or Honda? hmmmm, hard choice. :roll: sorry, gotta go with Honda on this one. I love the sound of a Honda engine when the cams switch over. :twisted:

semi-on topic: the reviews I have read of the Saturn Vue Redline all say the best part of the package is the Honda V6...

I hope these aren't the prices for just the engine? :shock:

Nope, that's the price of the Ariel with that engine... and pretty much nothing else, haha.
