How about this?

Yes, that's me. Haven't been around much since (*snif*) selling the Si. Never should have done that. :-(

Without reading this whole thread, my $0.02.

Yessir. Given the option of taking either the Mercedes or the Civic, I unfailingly found myself in the Civic. It just spoke to me like nothing else. I have had some fun little cars (little is a plus in my opinion), but that was the best. And, I could use 100% of available power, through three gears, on the street,…

No, probably saved the c*ck from (in my experience) a $5000 insurance deductible.

A high school friend's father was tired of plows taking out his mailbox every winter.

Can I put TL;DR on a story here?

Poor Ana, on #3... assuming that's not what she's into.

That should work. Interesting hybrid. :-)

If I can get a 458 Italia for $19,900 OTD, I'm in.

You know. So flexible. Rev happy when you want, short shift when you don't.

Oh yeah, how did I ever not think of it.
