wow I haven't been on here in forever. anyways, I finally got a car. my first choice was the Civic Si, but according to my parent's it's 'too fast', etc. etc. you all know how it is. anyway so I got a 5 speed LX. it's not a bad car, handles nicely, revs somewhat high
, and good on gas. here are some pics:
don't know how I missed this post earlier...
that's a nice looking car (for a honda
)
as for the civic being "too fast"
you should tell your parents to try stand up comedy because that's some funny sh*t right there.
and no I don't "know how it is" when I was 15 I learned to drive stick on my fathers 600+whp Supra and I would often get Christmas and birthday gifts such as performance exhausts, swaybars, or go-fast parts. ... or maybe my family was just different. at this point I own my own place and 3 cars so it's not like my parents have had a say in what I buy or do for some time now.

is it wierd that the first thing i looked at in the interior pic was the radio? instantly thought.. "yay, another integrated clusterfuck.."
course, being an installer for years will do that to ya..
but i will agree that the body changes look great.. little more aggressive looking, and that's always good
I noticed it too.. Honestly I hate that sh*t with a passion. No joke, that's a deal breaker for me when buying a car. If it's something I really like otherwise I might investigate what the 3rd party masking/intergration options are like but yeah... if they can't be bothered to stick to the industry standard "DIN" with a stereo that doesn't "share" with the ecu and other parts of the car then I can't can't be bothered to purchase their car.
more often then not not conforming to the most basic of standards is a good indicator of a lack of standardization elsewhere in the car as well.
