Truth is, human nature gets tired of everything.

End of the day, it's just a car.

Enjoy it while you can, learn from it - and that's that.

You want change, always a good thing - go for it.

Regardless, I appreciate hard work done to any car. And if you really care about what others think, horrible start.

PS> VeeDub, apparently is no longer made in Mexico, so workmanship should be better, but then again... we live in a disposable society, where everything messes up once the Warranty is over.

For me, Jap anyday

Roofies are expensive, I use eye drops.

you know what it may just be a civic .... but i dont really care what people think its mostly what i think about the car ... im the one that drives it and nobody else....

kwasley

i miss my civic, but the prelude will be better.

i've lost interest a long time ago. i think i'm just about out of the scene. i've honestly thought about selling my car and going big...either toyota tacoma or land rover. test drove a land rover the other day but its a v8...can't afford the gas.

looks like i'm not alone on this. I got sick of my civic over the winter. I was thinking about upgrading the suspension (1000$) but what for? I'd rather buy some more tools or better yet save it for a better car.

Tacoma...you won't regret it. If you can make it to one of the Hamilton meets...I'll bring the lifted '05 Tacoma for you.

Gallagher

Thats the way I started looking at it. If I sell now, i'll get the exact same amount even if I invested the $1000 in suspension....

Dont matter....


Sold it and bought the audi and dont regret it ever

Same thing happen to me last summer...I was going to swap in a motor...5 bolt conversion and redo the interior...but at the end its still the same car.

Bought the RSX and I'm in love with it!

I've been through a few cars,
so far I like my civic the most, Maxima was nice and comfortable but that gets boring fast =) to me there is no sound like a high reving motor, bike > big rumbley v8 IMO

so far I've been through
91 Beretta GTZ Q4
90 Integra SE 4 door
94 Golf CL
92 Maxima SE
2000 Integra GS
96 Civic CX
96 Civic si

I definetly enjoy the civic the most, its the most plain next to the golf, but its more fun to drive then alot of other cars, even my sister i nlaws celica GTS (95) doesn't have the same feel

I <3 my civic =p though I would much rather have a TL

rema

i always have second thoughts lol, but i like having teh civic because i throw so much milage on it, once im done school i can think about getting soemthing newer

szuberi

is it perhaps due to the fact that you are trying to make it go fast but the car is not designed to...unless you dump huge loads of money under the hood and such.

honda civics are excellent cars for the purpose they were designed to. the sad part is that due to the neverending aftermarket support available, alot of young owners give in to peer pressure or the 'scene' and stretch themselves too much by modifying the vehicle.

i know your feeling however...too many new cars on the road these days make you feel you want something newer...more powerful and advanced. if you have the budget, why not.

imported_chris_v2

yeah, excatly. If i throw 1000$ into my susp. i'll get **** all back.. and what will I have to show for it? A lower stance and I can take on-ramps a bit quicker (which i dont even do)

Gallagher

you can also show your bank account statement drop $1000....put it on your rear view so you see it everytime you look into the rear view

imported_chris_v2

haha..


get those quotes yet or what stephany?

SimpleG

the dumping money thing is not an issue
i knew it what was going to happend at the end of the road, as does everyone else who mods their ride.

the scene is not what is was a few years ago. im guess im growing up a bit

r32 is the only way to go for sure, but the gti is the closest us canadians are going to get to that.

After researching the horrible reliability that the VWs have vs. Honda i'l stick to my Civic and enjoy it ion the streets, instead of the repair shop

When i need parts, japanese used parts shop: starter $40 vs a starter for a VW probably find it from a junkyard $200.

Don't get me wrong, VWs are cool in thier own way, but i count reliabilty 1st if im gonna drive anything.

kwasley

all the money i spent on my civic doesn't bring it close to the prelude SH that im driving now.
ATTS ftw.

imported_InfamousCivic

Anyone can buy a new car, but it takes a true enthusiast to breathe life into an older one.

szuberi

were you expecting your civic to be close to what a prelude is in the first place? by the way....congrats on the new car...now post some pics.
