of course not, i still love hondas and other compacts

just relatively speaking, when it comes to bang for the buck. even the manufacturers are acknowledging the benefits of displacement...the integra going from 1.8 to 2.0, civics are now 1.7, S2000 with 2.2, etc.

YO Rich!! Do you regret or miss letting go of your Integra?

Right now I'm back to contemplating wether or not to keep the civic. The fiancee and I are calculating if we can do it or not.
I'd love to keep it but in order to get a new car I'm gonna have to let it go.

at first i missed it a lot, it was a huge part of my life. i dont think about it too much anymore. it would have been nice to keep it for nostalgia and stuff, but it wasnt financially practical.
