Am I old?

[djtano]

I'm 27 and thinking about picking up an Si for a daily driver. Am I an old fart compared to you all? :'(

BTW, What's up with the monkey smileys? that's kinda fun.

LOL

Well I'm 27 as well. My first new car actually.

Your right though,there are a shit load of spoiled kids on this board. They are generally cool spoiled kids though :)

[esmith13]

Funny, I am 27 as well.
This is also my first Brand New Car.
(My first stick too)

As far a spoiled goes, I got my first car and license when I was 20.

1978 Mercury Grand Marquis w/ 351 Cleveland Engine

I miss that car :'(


Sorry for rambling.....

[potator]

Sheesh, 27 isn't old at all really. You might just feel old compared to the 16 year old kids getting their new rides and stuff, but I'm sure there are many people your age, and older that frequent these forums and also drive Si's. I'm 19 and got my EP last year when I was 18. First car as well.

[LordKoo]

Hahahaha... I beat all of you! 27 when I brought her and 28 this year!

I love this car because it is more powerful than my old SR20DE and much, much more refined! Yeah baby, Honda product!!!!

[FACTION95Si]

I'll be 30 in July and I just installed Coilovers on my EP last night :)

[ThickMick]

32, first brand new car, first stick. Love every minute of driving it. Had company cars all my life and I can't tell you what a joy this baby is to drive. I highly recommend it.

[NeuroSi]

If you were just a few years younger, I could be your daddy.

[Laz's EP]

Well I'm 31. Last year I got married so I sold my EK and got an SUV. Got tired of it and I got an Accord coupe(big mistake).Three months later I got the Si. Three days later I lowered it ;a week after that I got I/E and a week later a NOS. And I'll be like this for a long time.
Just call me young @ heart.
;)

[Dunrick]

Actually I was considering 200sx SER for my daily driving but now am intrigued by the idea of having a new car. Just can't find a clean 200sx around here...

I feel all warm and fuzzy now that I know there are other old farts :cool:

[Dunrick]

Its all about the warm and fuzzy feelings in life!

Its a great time to be alive!!!!!!!!!!

Cool...except for that first picture of you grinnin in front of your Si last Christmas. I was thinkin GRRRRR what a spoiled Brat. In reality I guess I'm just jealous LOL :o :D

[SHAKEnBAKE]

Wow, this IS a more "mature" forum than I thought it was. I'm 21 but I feel old, really. I can't hang out with my ricer friends anymore, feels like I need to find another kinda crowd.:)

[Brettnyt]

Haha, yeah... That day totally blew me away... I cant even explain how happy I was, and I still love my car as much as the day I got it :D I skipped Lacrosse practice today cuz I was lazy and hadnt washed my car in 3 weeks... Now I have a clean Si! haha... OOO! This one is for you! ;)

[Lost03si]

wasup guys...I'm only 16 gonna be 17 in june and this is my first car (share with older bro). You guys aint old, but if you wanna call yourself old. Then you guys are really cool old folks:D .

[DownTheHatch]

17 here. We may be a decade apart but we share a common interest.

99-00 Si? Puh-leeze.

[hondaman9468]

24 here

[SiR Medic]

29 year-old... Old fart by this board's standards!

First new car, first Honda.

This is my 5th car, paid for all of 'em.

It blows my mind that some kids got a brand new car for their 16th birthday! Y'know what I got on MY 16th b-day? PANTS!:mad:

YOU WHIPPER-SNAPPERS DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF EARNING SOMETHING! Why if my knee wasn't acting up and Matlock wasn't on... I'd go down there and... Zzzzz-zzzzzzzz.

**old guy falls asleep**

26 here, and these words still ring true...

--Ian Mackaye

[djtano]

It's interesting that for the old folks...I mean eh, older folks, the EP is the first new car(such will be the case for me if I do buy one).

Man back when I got my license, I was driving '84 Renault Alliance which blew engine twice...I mean, I was doing 85 in it when it happened the second time, but still...:o Oh yeah, it blew radiator hose when I was taking some chicks to the mall too. Real smooth...:confused:

[Jester]

26, married, job, kids, responsibilities...
This is my 4th civic. I think I drove a civic before they were cool!
Maybe I should have stayed home with my parents, skipped out on college, kept my pizza delivery job and bought an NSX or something, picture that..the Pizza Hut delivery guy pulls up in an NSX...I could deliver alot of pizzas in a fast car like that...

[master7]

Peace I am 27 yrs young myself, and just love the whole street import car scene, i mean i got my first honda in 99 a civic dx traded it in 02' for the EP. I dont feel old at all, cause i am a big kid on the insides, hell if a shave my beard i look like a twelve yr old..go figure .... I think i am more jealous of the younger cats cause it seem like they getting mods on the rides like every week.... i mean ... i make 30k plus a year and still cant go out and drop 600 for a exhaust system, or 200 to drop her etc... with out thinking and squeezing pennies together or taking months to save- i mean i got two pit bulls and i think i am about to start pimping my boy dog out for $500 to have sex with a few bitches:D and make some car fun money...so all you younger ride and die Si'ers enjoy the shelter of parents home and the college school life..cause when you get out there in the rel world money be tighter than a squeezed out fart....:o ..excuse me;)

Ahh the '80's, fun fun, ...:) Gotta love Ian

[hayseed]

djtano-

The Si makes a great daily driver! I put 90 miles a day on mine. Solid, quality construction. Nice daily-driver torque spread. And a good platform to start with if you want to mod it later.

Who cares if you're older than most of the folks on this board? The common bond is the car. Half the people I see in Si's around Southern California are over 30. BTW, I'm 46, and I can't wait to throw a Pro-Kit on it with some 17's.

Buy one and enjoy!

Dayum man! I never realized how young you were. I thought you were in your mid 20's for some reason.


Steve

[mullogutherum]

I had the big Four-Oh this week, and judging from the responses on this thread alone, that puts me only 2nd or 3rd (depending just how old NeuroSi thinks he'd need to be, to be your father).

I actually don't have an Si at the moment. I did have one briefly in early April, but the dealer screwed up the paperwork, and managed to turn a straightforward car purchase into a 930 mile test drive. I have owned a '99 SiR (stolen after 20 wonderful months together), and 3 other Hondas.

My extended test drive convinced me to wait and see if the CTR rumors are true. IMHO the car needs the extra fizz in the upper RPM range to be a longtermer for me. But, that judgement is based on the desire to take the car to the track occasionally. If you don't need/want to do that, the current Si makes a noisy but fun daily commuter.

[BlasTech]

Im 31, on my 4th honda civic, second brand new one.

1986-1989: '79 cvcc standard blue hatchback
1989-1999: '84 civic dx standard blue hatchback
12/1999- present: '00 civic dx silver hatchback (auto, for my wife)
6/2002- present: '02 civic si silver hatchback

[oogy-boogy]

:eek:


Wow! I feel so young. I'm a month away from 26 and just getting ready to buy a house. My EP is my 4th car but my first new one. I had a 97 Civic EX before it and fell in love with Honda's. Like some of the others mentioned it's so much tougher to try and come up with $$ for the mods even when you're making good $$.......I'm still excited about the intake I put in 2 weeks ago.

I ended up waiting until late last year to pick mine up for a way better deal.

[Lt_Si]

I'm 26 and my '03 Si is my first new car also. I really don't feel 'old' compared to the younger guys here, either. I may be a Lieutenant in the Air Force, but I still skateboard and listen to Minor Threat and all that. Probably not your typical military officer, huh?
I'm new to this board and the Honda scene altogether. I also have a '66 Cadillac, which can't get anymore opposite than an EP. I drove the Si for a month and then tried driving the deVille. It was like driving a block of jello on a waterbed, compared to the Si. Anyway, I enjoy reading this board everyday. I'm glad to have such a great source of information(and humor) right here.

[milanoep3]

Hey oogy-boogy, I'll be 26 in just under a month too!

02 SiR is my first new car. I've always had used domestics, the last one was a 97 Saturn SC1 and now I can't ever see myself going back to them.

[BSEVEER]

I'm a ripe 36 here and my 02si is my first new car and my 3rd civic hatch.

[chet]

I will be 32 in June, so djtano, don't feel old. As far as daily driving, I put about 110 miles on mine (round trip) to work. Now, lucky for me I only work 3 or 4 days a week. Its my first Honda and I love it. I'd love it more if I drove it off the dealer lot with 200+ whp, but I'll get there.

WOW -- DTH, I had now idea you were such a young cat. Years ahead eh?

[SmoothOperator]

Yeah I'm surprized that DTH was so young too. Very mature for his age...young pup. hehehehehe ;)

I'll be 28, in less than two weeks. May 5th. This is also my first new car (some kind of trend here!).
But it's my 3rd Civic Hatch as well.

Silver 86 DX hatch
Teal 93 Si hatch
white 2002 SiR hatch

[jaydub]

I've hated the monkey smileys since day one. We should have the ability to choose a smiley set.

Anyway, you guys are old!!











































































I'm 25. :D

[bmx269]

I am 27, and I still bmx. :) This is my second NEW car, and my 5th Honda.

My list.

81 Honda Accord. $500.00 (sweet car) traded for
98 Honda Civic DX HB (new) traded for
02 Honda Civic SiR (new)

and purchaced with/for my girl

90 Honda Accord traded for
03 Honda Civic LX Sport (new)

[BarracksSi]

31 myself, third car, third Honda Civic hatch, first brand new off-the-showroom-floor car, and I'm just starting to get interested in upgrading the engine (all motor, preferably).

I miss my old '86 Si, but I'm very satisfied with the EP. I'll get it to the track when I get some time to myself.

[PoRT]

i am 22 today :p

[blueiedgod]

I guess i fit in with the rest of you people. I am 27 and will be turning 28 this summer. This is my third new car.
For my first car I BOUGHT with MY OWN MONEY an 83 chevy celebrity, and paid MY OWN INSURANCE. then traded the chevy for an 85 civic hatch DX, that was my fist honda, then traded the civic with 250 000 miles for an 87 Accord LXi. The accord later became my sister's car, while I got my self a 91 Jetta. Sold Jetta, bought a 99 civic coupe new, traded for the 2001 CR-V. And now I have the Si. In a sence I have come back to the Civic hatchback that started my affair with Honda :-)

[PoRT]

Happy B-Day Tim! why thank you steve!;)

[SFla02si]

Just turned 41 ten days ago. This is my fourth Honda but had plenty of other cars before. So far this is my favorite.

[robscar]

i'll be the old guy today. i'll be 45 in july, the wife is a couple years older. we are saving up a sizable down payment to purchase an si in august or sept.
last week i helped put a jdm engine in the son's 91 civic 4wd wagon. the week before i put an engine in the daughters old escort gt. it just doesn't get any better than that.
the fun of driving a performance vehicle knows no age limits. the si may not be the fastest or the best handling, but for the sheer pleasure and comfort i don't think it can be beat.
now all you kids go to bed!!!!!!

[S2kGirl]

It's neat-o to hear from everyone here. I'm 26 and alternately feel very young or kind of old depending on which car sites I'm on. This is my 5th car, and 2nd Honda. It won't be the last.

[Jpax]

This old fart is 26 , and im still pimping the ho's. I think that what the young kids still say. :cool:

But yea, I m just having fun.. :D

[I SELL HONDAS]

Funny how I felt the same way when I was 24... Now I am 29 and hitting 30 next year... But I still hang out with my highschool friends and still feel like I'm 18.

Yes, sometimes I feel vey old when I go to those bubble tea places, but I think as long as I am young @ heart I can still date a 18 yr old hottie with my EP :p
