A civic driver is like a special olympics runner.....you may be fast but you're still retarded
Steve, read this: Some of you guys may find the following story somewhat humorous. Monday afternoon I was driving this little '89 Civic LX down I-40 East on a solid sheet of ice. You couldn't even see any concrete at all on certain stretches of the highway that the state hadn't scraped or salted yet. In fact, it had snowed about 4 inches first, and then we had about another 1 inch of sleet and freezing rain on top of that. I was running about 45 m.p.h. in order to try and put some distance between myself and the ignorant redneck that was TAILGATING me in a '96 Chevy Blazer 4X4. In the slow lane too--I might add. Well, I could see in my rear view mirror that the Blazer driver was all hacked off wanting to pass me. So, he whips it over to his left really, really quick and gunned it simultaneously. Needless to say that he went into a broad slide, and then he whipped it back to the right to try and straighten his vehicle out. Well, when he did that, the Blazer did a complete 360 and he ended up going down into a ditch backwards! I gave him the peace sign in my rear mirror and chuckled as I continued down I-40 in the '89 Civic. In a very stable manner I might add. Since the guy had tailgated me for about 7 miles straight, I figured that he got what he deserved for driving so recklessly in that type of inclement weather. BTW, the little Civic was like a snowmobile in those icy weather conditions. It never even came close to slowing down or spinning. Not the first time. I passed 9 accident scenes with highway patrolmen already there on my way to work Tuesday morning. 9 out of those 9 accidents involved SUVs that had wiped out with apparently no other vehicle(s) involved.

civics are only over-rated because fools who watched too much fast and furious want one. other than that, civics are nice cars. slow when left stock, but they can be fixed up
I have a 91 civic and wouldnt trade it for the world .. great on gas, great on the ice and in the snow , a little slow stock but if u fix it up a little bit under the hood you can boost the horsepower just dont get retarded like smith said and go all fast and the furious on it cuz it cheapens the car in a way lol
