Exactly!!! Thank you for saying that - and others for similar posts. Mind if I print it out and post it on the fridge?
I read the other mean posts before leaving work. I couldn't shake this awful, sick feeling in my stomach the whole drive home. I couldn't figure out why I seem to be making a couple people so MAD, why I provoked such mean-spirited responses. The more I try to clarify, the meaner they get.
I was just trying to suggest that the civic is a fun car too, and doesn't have to be thought of as "settling" in any way.

Oh yes... probably 50+ autoxes, half-dozen track events... most fun I've ever had!!! But here's a clue: every one of them was in my old CRX, years ago. I've never had the Eclipse on the track or in an autox. Go figure.
