Unhappy ...

Bro thats just engine, wht about the body work he worked on n paid shyt load of cash to...



I drive a 95 civic si coupe, lowered, c.f mirror, hood, mugean c.f lip, 17's with low profile tires, etc,.... wht can i do whn i'm broke n no winter beater, just keep driv'n it but carefully u knw, thts tru as mentioned by another member in the post, can't trust sum retarted drivers, whn u throw shyt loads of cash on ur car. A car is ur baby once u spend all the money u make on it. As long as u maintain ur car well, with rust proof n all, n dun drive for no reason, n wash ur car n shyt, u knw wht i mean thn ur good to go, but if its sum crazy paint job n shyt, i wouldn't bother taking it out. i live in a condo not a house so no point storing it, i store it for a fact it'll get broken into. Sorry for the slang words, just used to it.

haha there's no way kumanan's ride can be driven in winter... its too valuable (the parts) and it can't risk being hit by a stupid driver who slides in the snow haha...

btw, i'm deciding to store my lude during snowfall and only drive on clear days haha... and i'll hand-clean my lude indoor on warm days with a heater in the garage....

all i will do is underbody protection =)

next winter, fully stored as i'll be doing a paintjob in the spring =)
pure show car, then i'll be getting an EF or EG as winter beater next year...

Even after proper bodywork & paint, all one has to do is rustproof their car once every year, and wash it once every week, and it'll be fine ... if your car rusts up, its because you haven't been maintaining it properly ... about the bad drivers, yes of course there are alot of idiots out there, especially come winter time!

Fortunately, I have easy access to a straight bus route from home to work and back for those odd occasions when there are really bad snowstorms ... thats when the Civic will be in the garage!

Lol, like we needed to know everything. Only winter significance here is exterior and suspension.

You got air ride, jack it up, slap some steelies on and there you go.. Winter ready! lol.



In the end everyone places their own level of importance on their cars. I see guys driving around in M3s, S2Ks, G35s, etc during winter and during stormy days. Then you see the kids with $3000 civics stored. Some $3K civics are physically incapable of driving in the winter so driving it is not an option.

I personally don't hold much importance on my vehicle. I'll maintain it, wash it when it dirty. I got my winters coming very soon and I'll drive it all year round.

In the end, Oh well, who gives a ****.
