Just wondering if anyone else that owns a Civic has got one. I know fullbacks2 (Bob) owns a Civic in addition to Cone Mark.
I have not received any notifications. Last time I checked the list, my car wasn't on it. Guess I'll have to look again.

Edit: The 8th gen is on the list.

800 HP is crazy! Still like the original better. My brother had a friend who owned one like this...

what is cookie cutter about today's Camaro? I think the current breed of Pony cars are the best they've ever been.

I guess what I meant is that you see them all over the place.

Part of the appeal when I bought the S is that you don't see one every 10 cars you drive by.

Even in the summer I'm lucky to see 2-3 a week during my travels.

Plus, it's a chevy.

I received a notice from Honda on our Civic EX. Been busy with snowmobile stuff but am anxious to get this recall taken care of. The alternator finally needed to be replaced last week after 204,000 miles.

woah! That's a lot of miles. At around 84K miles I think my civic has many years of service yet to come. Sometimes I think this car will outlast my interest in it.

I was talking to a co-worker who replaced his civic with another. Turns out he had put 186k miles on it before he traded it in.

while partial to the looks of the older Camaros I'd sooner have one of the new ones in terms of capabilities. As performance cars go they are a bargain. 1LE SS would be really nice. Not sure of visibility with that chopped roof look though
