hey...

you or anyone on here ever feel too small on a windy highway,like getting pushed around by the wind or 18 wheelers?? This is one of the resons I was wondering if EX had enough juice to bolt away from trucks should the need arise. As far as size..well...I will have to deal with it like everyone else when I get my firs Civic!

LOL. civics are small, in comparison to other cars that's good because that also means civics are lighter than other cars. take for example my car... it's a sedan civic but it weights 2600 more or less. my friend has an acura and it weighs well over 3000 lbs. 2600... 3000... 2600...3000.... i think i know what i would pick.

4G, baby... I did take the back seats out, but that's only about 30 pounds. It's nice, because when I'm hangin' out with people, I can always get out of driving...

All Honda EX trim model come with Vtec engine from Civic to Pilot and so on. And all Si come with Vtec too.

Chances are you probaly saw a Civic Si coupe or you probaly saw a ricer.

Ummm...naagh,I am pretty sure it was a Civic coupe.Aren't the Si's a totally different shape? What's a "ricer?" Plus someone on here was saying that the Si engine could be "swaped' to the Civic. The motor is a different story apparently. Embarrisngly, I do't think I know the diference between a motor and an engine! Feel free to explaine in laymen's terms if you'd like. Thanks!

Well, 99.4% of the time, when someone says motor, they mean engine.

LOL!! Abuse accepted.

It's that you were commenting to me in the "New Member Area" under the topic "VTEC???," that all VTEC SOHC -engines- would not come with a DOHC -motor-. My fault but not knowing there seemed to be a distinction between motor and engine. Got it now. I like cars but don't know jack about them mechanically. I have actually tried to find some basic informative classes on auto mechanics to no avail. Ha ha...that is the main reason I love Honda. I never have any trouble with 'em!
