1997 Honda Civic CX - Street Level
"I saved up all my money and bought my first car; this 1997 Honda Civic CX. I paid $14,000 for it and there was no A/C, no radio, or anything else like that. It was automatic because I didn't even know how to drive stick-shift back then!"Stephen Chan's 1997 Civic CX
For the most part, things just aren't the way they used to be. In the past, most Honda owners took great pride in building their cars and holding onto them. In the last couple of years, you've undoubtedly noticed that the community has shifted to the opposite end of the spectrum. Enthusiasts build their cars and once they reach any sort of notoriety, put them up for sale to whoever wants to offer the highest bid. In short, cars are being built to be sold. Guys and gals are hoping that their fame in print or online will help propel the value of their builds. This way they can cash in and build something else; then repeat the process all over again. Many understand, but the truly hardcore guys just wouldn't let their projects go that easily. To them, money can always be made elsewhere, and their pride and joy are not slaves to the almighty dollar.
