Yup exactly, you went on that first 20 mile drive with me around my neighborhood and up/down hwy 100. That was SO fun, just cruising and letting the revs hang. I continued to do that whenever I could....not too much but I would say quite often for the first 500 miles.

I can do it and I'm local!!

Good luck man, I'm sure DB is taking care of you.

If I didn't need to put $300 tabs on the car to drive it and get insurance back on it I would consider it haha. Who knows, if I get in a pinch and stuck here for way longer than expected in Kansas I might need someone to drive it some.

That was fun, brand new motor purring all nice like! Nighttime is perfect for vacuum pulls, then you don't have to worry about people behind you going wtf, speed up.

Have someone drive it to you in KS then drive it back to MN rather than fly!

I drove here originally weeks ago. I hate flying for one(not that I won't fly, it just doesn't save a ton of time when you have to drive from Kansas city to where I am 3 hours away anyway) and I knew I was going to be here for a few weeks so I could pack a lot of shit and not travel size stuff.

Gotta a rental 2010 civic :) This car is so simple and reliable, I almost want one for a DD.

Stupid lil civics are addicting to drive.. slow as dirt but they handle great.

I also don't drive in rush hour since I work 630 to 230, and its 90% highway.

Yea this car isn't fast at all, but its basic, cheap, reliable and very solid at handling for what it is. Its nice and light and good on gas too.

I like!

It's hard to compare as I haven't driven it forever, but the new 2.2L and higher compression seem quite a bit snappier on the street. I like! :)
