1 year anniversery! ok, on feb 28, i would have owned this car for 1 whole year. i love my car. i love to drive it, mod it, and enjoy it. yay! its one of the only things i care about.
how long have you guys owned your cars?
after one year, i regret nothing about owning it except for not starting to mod sooner. i was all gun-ho about being stock till 100k but that was bs anyway. any thoughts about your cars and looking back?

Rep Power: 332 congrats man, hopefully yours is problem free.
on february 10th 06, my car was 2 years old. bought it in 04 with 5 miles on it. february 20th came around (monday), and i finally got a new car, only reason being that the civic was giving me problems, and i kinda wanted something new, since the civic was a vp (read: dx) and had nothing. other than that it was good. i now drive a scion tc. it wasnt my first choice, i wanted a wrx, but then i realized i shouldn't spend that much money on a car, so i looked at the sub-$20k dollar range, even the new Si, but the dealer had the Si marked up to 25.5k. im happy with the tc now.

Rep Power: 0 Bought mine new on Jan 03. I now have 107,000 miles. Mostly trouble free - just a few minor problems - warping rotors, rattles here and there. I've been doing minor upgrades (brakes, tires, audio) as parts wear out - waiting for Tokicko to start producing 03 shocks.
Am I happy with it? I bought it because I couldn't find the car I wanted at the time - 01 Milano Red Honda Certified Prelude. Didn't like the new Accord Coupes that were just coming out or the RSX. I was about to settle with an RSX, but with 1.9 APR and below invoice price of the Civic, it wasn't worth it for me to spend $3k and higher APR on a car that wouldn't satisfy me much more than a Civic.
Low fuel costs, low maintenace costs, reliable... I'm happy. But I'm 5 years past college graduation and advancing my career. I need a more mature (but still sporty, fun to drive) but sexy car. This will be my last Civic. I'm eyeing a 6 speed IS 250 or TSX now. But I would still love to have last gen Prelude as a project/weekend car.

I got mine used two days before Christmas this past year. Only had 7K on it and I got a hell of a deal, since they had so many. I'm loving the gas mileage and how cheap it is to mod (cuz a G35 coupe is HELLA expensive to mod and maintain)! I know the vic is a major downgrade from the G, but it had some major suspension probs, so it's koo.
