How do you drive your Civic??

My old car was a boat that I always took it easy on because it killed so much gas. I drove it like a grandma. Since ive gotten my Civic, I've been driving it faster &taking off like a bat out of hell from red lights. Its hard not to because its small & so fun to drive but Im going to force myself to Drive Miss Daisy so I wont damage anything. How does everyone else drive theirs??

i drive mine with vigor, just keep up on the fluids, switch to a full synthetic oil for higher rpm driving. they did put a v-tec in it for a reason.

Re: How do you drive your Civic??

About half the time, I kinda granny it, just because it saves gas, and gas prices are creeping up; accelerate at about 25-30% throttle (I have a VAFC-II installed, shows me throttle position), and shift at about 3000-3500. I do drive like a stupid ricer-f*** sometimes though, just because I can

edit: wtf.. *** hole is censored...?

I drive...safely. I change gears around 3000 and i'm steady cruising at pretty much 2500. I signal, watch for pedestrians, and leave multiple car lengths between me and the car in front of me, depending on speed. I know it sounds crazy with all that hp and torque at my disposal.

Low and slow. Know what I do when I see an ugly hoe? Look her in the face, roll up the window.

Re: How do you drive your Civic??

I try to "Mexican Block" all drivers behind me so that we all save gas.

On local roads I just drive the limit, maybe 10 above it. On the highways I try to stay at 60 but driving at 80 feels right at home for some reason.
