Rest in peace Civic!
I bought this car in December 96. It was a great car. I put Nuespeed front strut tower bar on it, Eibach Pro-Kit springs, added sway bars, cold air intake system, 4-2-1 headers, bigger exhaust from the cat back and many other tweaks. The car was a blast to drive. I was rear ended by a Chrysler Town & Country mini-van on my way home from work on Mathilda and pushed into a car ahead of me. That car was then pushed into the car ahed of it.My air bag went off and my seat back broke. The civic was totaled and even though I had receipts for everything I got about 1/30th of what I put into it.
Boy do I miss driving a stick shift! Automatics just aren't as much fun. I would say about 1/6 of the fun of a manual transmission.

Stupid accidents and stupid insurance!
