LuckySnake Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Flame suite on, but this car rocks. It reminds me of a baby Shelby and I can drive it to work without upper management wondereing if I'm being paid to much. 2010 Crystal Black Pearl Civic Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 No flame but how about photos of the car. Most of us drive something else to work than our Shelby's. Heck, our stable is the Shelby, Jeep Wrangler, Ford Explorer, Honda Odyssey and Mazda 3. You are in good company. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Thanks Jim, I picked it up Monday night and it rained here until today, I'll take some pix tomorrow after I wash it. It sure is fun but it's good to know the big guns are safe in the garage until needed, ha, ha. I did try to take some pix in the evening and I'm not doing something right or it's because it's black the pix didn't come out, barely see the car. The six speed is awesome fun, completly different way of thinking on the gearing, probably because the engine loves the rpms. Blayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckySnake Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 This car is allot more fun than the CE Corrola I traded in and very affordable. Plus I think it will be easy for me to learn AutoCross with Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks for the photos. That is a nice looking car (although I don't think I could keep up with a black daily driver). We have had great luck with Honda products. Hope you have the same. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremes10 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Very nice, one of my friend's dream car actually. If I could DD something other than my work truck I would for sure be looking for something like a WRX STI, can't keep my hands off anything I drive, and boy, if you spend a little bit of money and you spend it right, those cars can be REAL quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckySnake Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Black is a bear to keep clean but sure looks good when it is. Thanks for the compliments. Blayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 congratulations on your new part time job! Keeping a black car clean that is! In all seriousness... beautiful car, take good care of her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Your Civic looks great! We have a 2008 Civic EX as our DD (and sometimes the Expedition). They are great cars. We're considering replacing it in a year with a new VW GTI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slabo Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Isn't that a cute little engine! Just messin' with ya LuckySnake. I drove a Civic as my DD for years. Great car. Then my wife used it after I picked up an Explorer. After that she called it her Hondamedown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my wife used it after I picked up an Explorer. After that she called it her Hondamedown. 2.0 liter with 197hp, the hp to weight ratio isn't as good as a Mustang GT but the hp to engine size is better. It's one revin little dude and very fun to drive. I had a Hondamedown from my Mom, it was an 84 Accord, good little car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Buy American! I don't know why anyone would want to spend money on a foreign vehicle. There's no excuse!! Ford has some really nice cars to choose from!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford has some really nice cars to choose from!!! Your right, Ford does have some nice cars to choose from. I'm not defending my decision to buy a Honda but 65% of the car is made in North America and that means jobs here. We live in a global economy and need to compete globaly, that's why Ford sells in every country they can. Show me the Morony sticker on your current daily driver that shows how much of it is made in the US and lets compare, is that fair enough for you?

The money is going to an American company. Honda is a Japanese company. Its a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a no-brainer. You are correct, some profits go to Japan just as some profits from Ford cars sold abroad go to the US, not to much difference. Happy Thanksgiving.
