Just to clear things up guys....

Note the Alberta license plate...

An American Civic EX is a Canadian Civic Si, (same D17 engine, specs)

An American Civic Si is a Canadian Civic SiR, (same K20 engine, specs)

For more info, see www.honda.ca

They are exactly the same car, just badged differently for marketing purposes.

Some cars up here in Canada are not available down there in the States, and vice-versa.

For example,
we have the Acura 1.7 EL, the States does not,
but the States has a Honda Passport, we do not... etc...etc...

I read all the time about you guys bashing people for putting the wrong emblems on their cars. I couldn't make out the tags. Then when someone mentioned the Canadain model, I realized my blunder. I was tired from school and had two retarded posts last night.....so I just gave up and went to bed.

Silly monkeys.

On another note, I saw someone driving my old Sunfire (which I had traded in last year for my EL) a few nights ago....it had a TRD sticker on the rear bumper and all sorts of manufacturer badging on the side, but it was stock height and still had only the 2.5" exhaust that I had put on it.

There could be a few explanations for what you saw.

1) The kid is an incredible goofball.
2) He's in one of the large car clubs that does this to distinguish members (upside down A looks like an H and upside down H looks like an A.)
3) He's got a swap. Some kids with Integra engines in their Civics will put upside down Acura badges on their car.

another explanation: someone jacked his H symbol, so he jacked an A symbol and turned it upside down.

Why the racist comment about him being Asian? How is his race relevant whatsoever?

And our EL's don't exist over there.

Why the hell do I get pm'd so much by people asking me why I put an Acura logo on my Civic (ahem)???? IT'S NOT A CIVIC!!!!

And now back to trolling for bukkake....
