get the oil changed anyway. i noticed that my engine after its first 5000 miles made a slightly harsher, raspier? engine sound before i changed it. after i put a semi-synthetic oil (royal purple) oil back in, it purrrred. plus my mpg went up. and if nothing else, its easier to keep track of oil changes every 5K. as for the nicks, 3M makes a paint protectant film that goes over the paint like a decal, but its clear. i used it on my hood since my concern is rust from a PA winter salt. you can get them precut (for a small fortune) or buy it by the roll (still not cheap, but a heck of a lot cheaper than precut) Try your paint store. something else that looks intriguing but i haven't checked into yet. Griot's Garage sells something called spray-on bra (or something like that). apparently it peels off easily enough, but not by itself. around $20.00 a can. This is obviously in lieu of a real bra, which you really don't want since they can do as much harm as good.

Hi all: not sure if this is the right category for this type of question. But here it is, I am interested in buying a 2006 civic. I will be in NY for 4-5 wks and is moving to CA. I don't mind driving the car to CA, but what would be some of the advantages and disadvantages of buying in NY versus in CA. thanks for any inputs.

I am very happy with my LX sedan despite the following few issues. #1 Alignment was fixed by dealer and car still pulls to the right on a flat level road when off the gas and off the steering wheel #2 I still have a very noticeable gap difference between the front fenders and tires and the rear fenders and tires which no one yet has checked on their LX to confirm if it's only a problem with my car #3 My car still hops around quite a bit in the rear on broken pavement and bumps. All in all I love the car and took in camping up state new york and the car performed excellently on twisty winding roads and went up pretty steep roads without any problems. I have broken the 1000 miles mark and all is well other than the few things mentioned above. We all have to remember there are always bugs in newly redesigned cars and this is the chance we take when we purchase first year in, etc.
