Guess so.. stuff like this is kinda eh... typical.

Like when I got my CEL code from a computer it pulled up my VIN as a hatchback LOL... but yeah on CarFax it IS a sedan haha.. I wouldn't worry about it. Probably just a little mistake.

I thought all 1995 Civic Exs came with ABS. Do you have front and rear discs? Also locking up on ice would be normal anyway. No traction on 0 coeffecient surface

try locking it up again on an empty parking lot.

if you have stock tires it shouldn't be that hard. from about 20mph should do it.
