Default WOT driving...

It was a bright and sunny day here in North Carolina so I decided to take a REAL drive in my civic today.

I had it wide open around town slicing in and out of traffic, and I must say, I'm impressed.

the car doesn't have monster grunt but it does have instant acceleration when i put the pedal down in every gear but fifth.

I even blasted down straightaways out accelerating chevy blazers and too many larger japanese sedans to count. I was actually racing people.

it's a far cry from my first civic, a 93 honda civic hatchback cx.

that car was so slow I coulda strapped it to a rocket and it would have still gotten beat by little old ladies in minivans. lol.

i was thinkin' about that, but with my luck i'd end up driving off a cliff. lol.

I suggested some of the civic owners in my area drive to the mountains but I'm not sure if they ever responded.

I love the mountains. too bad they got Bears in dem' dar' mountains. lol.

You should be able to outrun the bears with your Civic. Bears can't run that fast.

But hey if you run off the cliff then parts of you and your car will make it on the tree. Nah it's not that bad if you don't drive like an idiot..... you outta go... it's a rush! And as long as your not stashing chicken or something in you pockets... i don't think the bear r gonna bother ya.
