Whats the longest you've been without your car?
You know I haven't realized how much I love my civic until the past 2 weeks. A month ago the right side of my car was sideswiped by a big ass monte carlo. The bastard took off while I was trying to pull my jaw back up. The damage you ask??? well sit back for this one....the front bumper was pulled clean off, the front right fender was dented all the way in, the door was dented in and nicely painted with the grey color from the monte. the back right fender had a huge dent in it and the molding popped off. So on March 25th I finally dropped my car off to the body shop to get my car fixed....and the damage comes out to be 1400...not bad considering the damage my car has. ITS NOW BEEN ALMOST 2 WEEKS AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I am stuck driving a 1990 nissan sentra that belongs to my girlfriend. I just want to tuck my head in like a turtle when I drive that car. I just want my car back...thats all.
Am I being irrational?

I know how you feel. I had to live without my Civic for 10 days while it was in the bodyshop getting the new kit sprayed and fitted. During those 10 days I had the pleasure of driving a Fiat Stilo :apuke: another shitty european car you lucky people will not be getting in the US.
I was so happy when I got my car back, it was well worth the wait

Wussies,
I have been w/o my car for at least 3 mo each time i crashed it. Sucks when you cant afford to fix it. The last time its been like 6mo!!!! But i got a lot of stuff done. Got a whole car painted/DC radiator/ shaved stuff/ added gauges and monitor and camera. Now its going to be out of service for another month for the body kit / roll cage upgrade. If i have time mini-me swap and big brake upgrade.

Just stopped by the body shop this morning.....the entire right side of my car has no body panels at all on it. I was trying to convince myself that it wasn't my car...maybe it was some unlucky bastards car.....but i am that unlucky bastard. well either way whether its been 2 days or 2 months or 2 years....it still really sucks not having your car.

My first car was a piece of crap 1985 Ford Grand Marquis. It broke down (threw a rod) and I had to ride my friend's bike to work right after I got out of class at 1pm. It was hot as hell. Everyday for 3 months=NOT FUN! Finally, I bought my civic last July and I couldn't be happier!

I love how you guys complain but yet you guys still had cars drive.... yeah they might not be anything to brag about, but what are winter cars...
 you guys should be glad that you had backup cars.... one of the reasons I am still deciding about a swap or selling my car is because I don't have a backup car, and my parents need there 2 cars.. I might be selling my car just because I don't have a backup cars like you guys...and people called me spoiled  Granted, I want all of my cars 13s or less even if it is "luxury <or a winter car> car" I just can't stand having a slow car. I just dont wanna lose off the line
