Default Newbie/First time civic owner!

Hey all! .. i was recently in a rediculous car accident .. totalled off my '84 Topaz .. had her running like the day she came off the assembly line .. so, its been a long nine days of healing and stuff (broken bones, stitches, sprains, depression etc.), and along comes the '89 DX hatchback. Caught my eye in a small dealership on my way to the doctors the other day. I also own a mint condition '87 Fiero GT, but, couldnt afford to plate two cars this year, also the 2.8 in her is a huge hog! The gas milage in the Civic should be a great change!
