no one is saying he can't drive a civic. i'm just recommending him learn how to drive on some old beater car that he doesn't care about. Alot of people make alot of stupid mistakes when they are learning how to drive. Why? Because they are learning how to drive. Just because the state gave you a laminated piece of paper saying that you can drive, does not mean you know how to drive. All i'm saying is get a beater car in case something bad does happen, you'll spare yourself from heartaches when your nice project car gets all jacked up.
