I bought my car in February, and on the way home from the dealership it snowed about 3 inches and my gf was scared shit-less because she hates driving in the snow and she didn't know how the car was in the snow lol

it was a funny ride

My first day with my First si (blue one) i bought it from the dealer with only 6 miles on it...they pulled it around front..i got in it...fired her up...let out the clutch and BOOM! Stalled it...first and last time. i usually leave my cars in 2nd...but this guy left it in first...plus the shifter positioning looked normal...so oops! i stalled it in the parking spot. i was starting it to let it warm up before driving it home.

after being embaressed i went in and thanked everyone and then went for a 150 mile drive :) just drove around listening to music, for like a solid hour i had the music off and just listened to the car.

i can remember it like it was yesterday.

day 1/ first week of when i got her :

My dad and I drove down to Phoenix to pick this ricer up. It was my first car and first manual one at that. I decided it would be a fun "project."

Here is how she sits (thank god).

The previous owner(s) truly neglected this car. I have had so many "wtf were they thinking" moments, but I guess that makes me love this car even more

we were in the car at a turn out on Mt. Baldy
she was nervous cops were gonna show up but i kept telling her not to worry
finally she said "ok..im ready"
i could tell she hadnt done it before
her grip was tight but softened after the first couple minutes
she had this radiant look on her with a smile full of pleasure and said "faster?"..to which i said "yes"
after minutes she said "i want more" but i said thats enough till we get down from the mountain





and that was the first time i taught a girl to drive a stick shift car

The first time i took the Ep for a test drive at the Honda dealership i was like wtf when is the vtec going to kick in? After i got home though the first thing i did was grab a screwdriver and take off both of the plate frames off.

I never used to be into this seen, I came from driving big lunky suv's that where slugs. I picked up the ep in law town mass witch is about 1 hour from me. As soon as I started to pull on to the highway and the vtec kicked in I was hooked ! :mcool:

I remember my ep, was my first car, At first, I only liked it for the way it looked because I didn't know how to drive stick yet. Then I learned how to drive stick using the ep and once I learned a little more about the car (vtec, vtec engagement, etc,etc) and just more about driving stick I fell in love. My parents bought it for me december 09, some dude ran a red light october '10 and now shes gone :(. I miss my ep, RIP, I'm in the market for one atm. ;_;

9/20/03 I picked it up, drove to a restaurant for lunch on the way home. I sat at the window and stared at it, ignoring my fiance the whole time. the front plate frame frame came off that day.
