Im a fan of honda's, always have been since the F&F days( lol right? ) not because they're "mayd fayst yo!", but simply because of gas mileage, looks, and when I beat the shit out of it, it always starts right back up.

first car was a 2000 civic si, got it with 62k original miles,( yes those are 96-00 ex seats, dont ask why previous owner had them) slammed it on stock wheels and i/h/e and loved every minute of it.

But as i never thought it could happen, it broke my heart to let go when got rear ended by a guy who blew a 0.16, twice the legal limit =[

and not as my first choice, i bought a nhbp 2003 civic si, i havent yet had the money to do much, just some tein s-tech lowering springs, fogs, and a cai ( volvo 940 lip shows up to my door tomorrow)

i like it, handles very well, definitely needs a new wheel/tire set up

future plans:
Raceheader
exhaust
type r/ mugen spoiler
reflash
coilovers
wheels
