What makes your car special?

Why do you like your car?What makes it special in your eyes?Did you choose that make/model,and if so,why?What is it that inspires marque loyalty,even though none of us can truly test enough different cars to make an informed choice?

Thumbs up Because...

It's paid for!! I got it by trading some spoiled kid a box of model cars for it:sun: :sun: I used to counsel him and he felt like I helped him. Not only did I get a free car but I also helped change a person's life. Pretty damn cool:coolguy: :coolguy:

Because I got the last year that they made nice looking civics imo, and it's a 4 door which I think looks better and fits my needs better. And it only had 13 miles on it when I bought it, so I'm the first one to test drive it and so I feel like it's all mine.

I'll agree with you there Kicker-san! I quite like the looks of any 6th gen. Especially the coupe. My favourite is the 5th gen hatch in the lighter blue, followed by coupes. I also like Del Sols.

My G is special because..

It has a clock on the instrument panel so I don't have to switch off "ID3 tag view" on the mp3 player to see what time it is.

Every control in it is in the "exact right place". The steering wheel is perfect. (Try driving a 97 Dodge Grand Caravan and you'll understand what a shitty steering wheel feels like.)

It's Silver. It handles well, crashes well, accellerates well, is comfortable, looks good, is reliable, and is rare enough to be misrecognized. It has an enormous trunk for the size of the car. Everyone assumes it cost way more than it actually did..

It's been mistaken for a 99 before...and it's a 94.

It's mine. All MINE!! Muahahahaha!!

Hmm interesting question:


Ok,
Its cheap.
Cheap to fix, cheap to run, and offers amazing performance for a very cheap price.

It has a small wussy 4cyl lawn mower for an engine with a Torque curve that starts with a deep rumble of induction noise at 1,000rpm and ends with screaming impersonataion of a sewing machine at 8,200rpm.
I have yet to drive anther car with as flexiable an engine, and Iv driven most things from Lotus' to Toyotas, from V8s to Turbo'd 6s.

It has an amazingly well balanced chassis that always does what I tell it do, it feels like the suspension was set up by enginers with a desire to go racing, and not accoutants and marketing twits who wanted the car to be safe and idiot proof.

And it so totaly plain, boring and common in appreance that no one pays it any attention at all.


Thats what? 4 things I really like about it.

I could write a list sveral pages long with things that are wrong with it, it could have a bigger engine, it could have more hp, it could be RWD, it could have more room in the frount etc etc but I dont really care.
Becauses its the car that best suits my current situation, and as soon as that changes and allows me to buy a real car I will.


(oh and its great for winding people up who think I take things seriously, :finger: )

I guess the fact that when I bought her, she was completely stock. Nothing done. I tuned her into the rice-rocket she is now. I lowered her. I put the GTR wing on the back. I put in the Altezzas. I put on the Magnaflow 2.5 catback. I created her. She's my creation. Good enuff reason for ya?

Whatever...I don't care. You all can flame me all you want. I love my car & that's all that matters. It's not like I atcually think it's fast. I know it's slower than Yugos. But whatever, I don't street-race so it doesn't matter to me. I don't fix my car up for anyone but me!
