    My current car is a 1996 Beretta ( with a 4 cyl. ) and a 5-speed.

    I learned in a stick. My very first car was a 4-speed. I was told to learn in a stick, then you'd be able to drive anything. Makes sense. If you learn in an auto, then you can't drive anything with a stick.

    I'm in the market for a new car. I'd like something with a V8, but it has to be a stick. Somebody at DaimlerChrysler needs to get a clue. Autostick is NOT as good a stick shift. I'll never own a Charger because of it.

    Does holding a bachelors of arts in English count as reading something other than those fine tomes of erotic literature? 'Cuz, y'know, I do.;)

    Smart choice. Hondas are great cars, and new cars are marked up too much. How many miles does it have?

    looks way nicer than the 2005+ civics with the hood almost totally inline with the windshield...

    and please dont add a pineapple exhaust and "i believe i can fly" spoiler.

    people actually let other people learn on a Porche...talk about gear grindage.

    Not technically, but by listening to the sounds of the engine and some of the timing it sure helped.

    DAMNIT! I don't read those magazines, come on. They are for the newbs to porn. True hardcore porn lovers get theirs off of the internet, or special order it! Not that I would DO this, but I have it on good authority.

    Who? What? ME? Nah, never... ;-)

    NICE car. I looked to a one like that in silver awhile back. I like that body style better then the new 2006 Civics. It has better lines. Hmmm... as for the Decepticon symbol I'd say put it wherever it looks best and doesn't look too out of place.

    I kind of like the new Civics, but I like the older one's better. I could be biased since I drive a 98 since I bought it brand new. :) 

    Congrats on the new ride, you will get alot of miles out of that bad boy!

    I think the new Civics look, in many ways, like the old Saturns and some of the newer ones too.

    pscoop---- it has 62,000 miles.nothing compared to what i had on my beretta which had 175,657 miles...

    Ops_was_a_truck--- Decepticon symbol's going on the hood.Might get "Decepticon" on the back windshield.

    OmegaScourge----- i wont be adding any spoilers or exhaust pipes.. intend to keep it all stock. i love it the way it is!

    THANKS CheetahDC and Deefuzz. My stepmom LOVES it.

    Today, i went to my dad's old restaurant for some food and this gorgeous waitress, who's 20 yrs old, said that she wants a ride in my car!
    i said I'd give her More than a ride...hehehe.. her face got reaaalllllyyyy red !

    My first car was a Beretta - 1993, 4-cyl, teal. I liked that car. Sadly, the head gasket cracked twice and my father (who is something of a mechanic) said it was time to get rid of her.
    Needs a spoiler, IMO. Nothing big, but I'm of the opinion that almost any vehicle looks better with a spoiler. It seems to "balance" them, looks-wise, if that makes any sense.
    Ooh baby! That's sexual harassment right there!

    I don't understand why people don't learn to drive "stick" (aka "manual"). Maybe it's an American thing? Pretty much everyone here learns how to drive manual. Only really short girls that can't reach the clutch, brake and accelerator at the same time while still being able to see over the steering wheel avoid manual.

    Im not trying to be a ass but I just dont see it. Maybe im old school and its like you have to get in the water kinda thing. But if it worked for you thats cool, its more feeling than anything, the game cant teach you the feeling of a clutch.

    It's what Jiggles would want.

    Unrelated, make sure you share pics once you've got the Deception logo put on!
