First Time Honda Owner
Just bought this beauty:
2005 EX Special Edition, 127k miles and a 5-speed.
My username comes from the fact that I do not like Jeeps, yet I love offroading and "Overlanding" as it's called now. I've been exploring backroads since I could remember, in the family Suburban and on my bike, and most recently, in my 99 GMC Yukon:
She is my pride and joy, but alas, she's too expensive anymore to be a daily driver with a 30 mile (one-way) commute, so I needed something smaller, hence the Civic.
I've never been much of a fan of small cars, (being 6'4" and 280 kinda does that) so when I finally broke down and went looking for a vehicle that is thriftier on gas than my dear Yukon, I had a few stipulations: could NOT be silver, white or pewter, and could NOT have a black interior. That wrote off 2/3'ds the cars on the road. So when I found this, in near perfect condition, for a good price, I jumped on it.
We'll see how this whole small car thing goes for me.

Thanks, I'm not going to do much to it, just some fog lights, bronze tint the windows, a new stereo, and a 2-1/2" rolled edge chrome exhaust tip. I like to keep mods on my vehicles to a minimum and tasteful, I refuse to order from JCWhitney or other parts warehouse stick-on chrome junk.
