How old were you when you got your Civic.
Re: How old were you when you got your Civic.
I was 20. After my 02 Corolla S was struck down by a Volvo in 2008 I didn't think I could love another car again. I'm glad I was wrong. I've had my '03 EX coupe for over 5 years now and I've just started modding it into the car it can be.

I was 23 years old. My 1990, $500 Toyota Celica was dying and I needed something fast. I went to the local Honda dealership and loved the then new 2004 Civics. I traded in my Celica in for $500 and bought a new 2004 Civic LX 2dr, with a standard trans, in Fiji Blue and have been loving it since!

I was 24 when I bought a brand new 1998 Civic EX coupe. Bought a 91 DX Hatch in 2006, and bought a 2008 Si sedan this year, I'm now 39. Love Civics.

I got my first civic when I was 26. It was a blast to drive and much more reliable than all my other hot hatches such as a gti, various nissans and others. But theres more it had a distinguished blend of performance and practicality I have yet to see from any of the competition. This led me to call it the escape pod because it was always ready to go. Enough reminiscing the escape pod or pod for short was a 2008 4 door SI. You may ask yourself why 4 doors, it's easy to get with chicks in the back of a 4 door.

Got my 1st Civic last week. 98 LX 5 speed Sedan. 
First day driving I wanted to set fire to it.
An hour or more of practice and some tweaking with the clutch and idle...now I don't so much wanna destroy it.
