It had all 4 of the honda wheels when it left my garage so I sure it still does. Knowing what I sold it to Wayne for the rims are probably worth the purchase price.
Those wheels are going nowhere, except maybe the garage wall! They are the hottest looking OEM civic wheels IMO
I called Wayne today but he's probably on the road.
Miata still available? Can send cash and come to get it in two weekends.

We were also promised more car listed for sale....
Tried leaving a message again, VM still full. 434.962,6095

Sorry for the delay guys. Will finally get home this Thursday (yeah, I've said that before, but working 500 miles from home on various projects makes life a bit unpredictable Found someone to cover for me on Thursday and Friday, so I get to go home!!) Dad had called me when he found out I put the Miata up for sale, saying he might want it while I am still working on his Hornet, but I think Mom has vetoed that idea. He will let me know by tomorrow night before I leave town, and I will let everyone who has expressed interest know. The other cars posted are still up. I'll be adding an '89 Cabrio, '89 Swift Gti, better pics of everything, '95 Accord with reconditioned head, '92 Accord wagon. I'll also have some neat Minis for sale, but those will not be challenge priced. I'll send pics of those to anyone interested once I pull them out of the garage. Oh, and a '95 S10 extended cab, and a '90 Sierra 2500 longbed, and a '90 Astro, all needing work in some way, but I'll give details with the pics. Crazy cheap to get them out the yard. I've got more, but that's it for now.

How much you want for the Cabrio? Still have the wheels on it?
Swift a shell, or a good one?
Minis, huh? Do tell more!
I have been lusting over that swift for years Wayne. Talk to me about it when you are in town OR 3 5 2 3 3 9 2 1 9 9 OR PTJoshmiller at Gmail dot com.
Wayne is doing me a huge favor by picking up some wheels/tires for me on his way back north. Big props to a great guy!

Josh, you are a pain in the butt. I called it first, and I'm bigger then you.
Of course, you ARE in better shape than me. Hmmm...
OK, Wayne- fess up. Better tell us about the Swift.
IIRC Its a running driving Swift with no AC. I have been bugging him to sell it to me for years-so I think I called it first. Honestly, I don't need any more cars so if you want it it is yours.
Sure you want to know? I can be long winded....
Swift was from a few years ago when, fresh from a divorce and feeling the need to salve my wounds, I went on a bit of a GRM buying spree. I also had a good paying job and as usual, not a lot of sense, which makes for a dangerously delusional combination. So of course I go online and find a guy in Connecticut (I think it was) with an 89 Swift Gti for sale. Great I think, I'd just driven Ramon's 3 cylinder Metro engined Mini from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale, complete with the 5 spd tranny, and it was sweet, so I'll do one better by throwing the Swift Gti motor in a cool little Mini I had hiding in the back yard. So I like any GRMer who possesses neither a truck nor a trailer would do, I call Avis to see if they have a Trailblazer. No luck there, but Budget or National had a Ford Ranger. Hmmm....no tow hitch, but a hole in the bumber for a tow ball. Ummm....how many miles per day does that come with? "Unlimited Sir", was the reply. Score! U Haul obviously will not let me attach a tow dolly to the bumper of a Ranger, so.... "Hey Bruce, mind if I borrow your F150 for a couple hours?" Used it to get the tow dolly, returned it to him, and by noon I'm heading North from Florida to meet some guy with a Swift Gti at an exit off the New Jersey Turnpike. I don't drink coffee, and this was before 5 hour energy drinks, so tiredness induced some interesting hallucinations of animals and objects in Maryland at 3 a.m., before I finally found a truck stop to sleep and take a shower. Early a.m. and I am at the appointed place, and here comes the Swift 10 mins later. Drove onto the tow dolly, exchanged cash and papers, and I'm heading south again. Slower now, but still get back to Tallahassee before daybreak the next day. Not as much fun as the trip to the Argentinean Embassy in DC to drive the GTV back to Tallahassee, but a good run nonetheless. Parked the car behind the Mini, met my my second wife the next week, and nothing got done as we went travel crazy. Brother Paul said he wanted it, so I gave it to him, but it's back with me now. Car is black with everything original from a Swift Gti on it. Will pull it out and clean it up this weekend for its photo shoot. Has spare on driver's front, but will put a good tire on the original rim and remount it. I had it running when it came home, but it has sat for a while, so I will get it going again. Josh did ask about it a few times while Paul had it, So I must defer to him first. Paul Svrex, you have first dibs on the Cabrio and anything else that no one has called on yet. Now don't get me started on the Minis.....

I'm in for the 2002 - I've had 3 of em before (m20 swap might make it go good) - just have to work out storage in the next few days (wifey is a little touchy about the 7 vehicles).

Shoot. I only have 3 currently including the daily drivers. 4 if you count the motorcycle.
