actually, that sparked the idea of plate frames that read "i'd rather be driving my 88-91 Civic"...i should look into that.

my dad is always telling me my car is worthless because i "can't drive it anywhere". i have to remind him i can drive it anywhere however, after the money i have sunk in to it i'm not going to just drive it anywhwere. like a 1100mi road trip to go visit family...that is a daily beater kinda road trip. then he tells me it must be nice to be able to afford a car i don't drive. so then i get to remind him i have never had a car payment. it has taken me 4 years of dropping money here and there. it's not like i went out and signed for a bmw i have to send a monthly payment out to.

if you want to have a nice 4th gen civic it's pretty much a must to have another car for a daily driver. it takes a lot of work to make a civic nice....daily driving = daily wear and tear. so unless you want to redo all the work to the 4th gen, you really should consider a daily beater.
