i just bought my third civic last saturday night
an '02 si of course, otherwise i'd be posting
on another message board somewhere

anyway, my first was a blue 1988 hatch
i drove this car for about five years
this car had character if nothing else
nicknamed the floyd mobile
my god i loved that car from it's horrible body damage
to it's faded paint job
to it's broken c/v joints
it had about a dozen bumper stickers, most pink floyd related
i still have them all in a box with other souvenirs from that car
i took out when i sold it for a whole $500

my second civic was a new black 1999 dx coupe
don't boot me out of here when i tell you it was automatic
after i put a cd player in it i realized i was not going to put any more money into this car other than maintance because everyone on the planet had a faster car than me
i mean don't get me wrong i still loved the car it was a honda, but come on 106hp doesn't cut it

so last weekend i opened my eyes a purchased a magnificant driving machine
i'm gonna get into trouble with this car

HAHA that's funny $hit! Congrats dude.
This is my third Civic Hatchback.
I had a silver 88 <--I think, hatch that I abused in college. Many awsome memories in that thing for sure. Can't remember half of them! Blew the "Honda-matic" transmission. lol Then I got a 93 Si Hatch, which I LOVED. And I discovered modding. At first...I just wanted it to look a little different from all the other civics. "rims and a drop" is all I told myself. Then I got the "Bug" hehehehehe
The EG began giving me a few problems...I was thinking, "I could drop a b series engine in it, add a power window kit, A/C, and all those other luxuries, or I could just buy a new car."
It was time for something a little more refined. So here I am with a new SiR.

Third hatchback here - '90 Civic Si - my first; '91 Civic Si - bought it used after I was dumb enough to sell my '90; and now an '02 Si. Of course, there was a '00 Si coupe in there, two Acura GS-Rs along the way, a bunch of Accords, etc. And then there was the pre-Honda era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth . . . .
