I've been away from here for a while, but I guess now is as good as a time as any to jump back in. Bring on the freebies.

I've found myself driving more aggressively to avoid the rev hang. Under hard acceleration, it's not as bad. It seems to be worse under light acceleration, like driving through town. I don't want to look crazy speeding from stop sign to stop sign, but otherwise the shifting is pretty jerky.

Yeah I wish. I'm talking big craters in the middle of the road.

You were pretty lucky. Out here in MD, we such extreme heat last week, that parts of Route 50 were Buckling. I passed a State Highway Truck one day, and there was a big chunk of pavement opened up, and there were chunks of concrete all over the road, plus 6 cars on the shoulder that weren't so...

Looks nice. I'm gonna be taking my 4 door to get 35% all around, but just haven't had the time yet. I was trying to find a good place to take it. I fouond one that's about 30-45 minutes from me, so I need to take half a day off of work to get it done and wait on it. Hopefully before the next...

:yeahthat: I was out of power from Friday Night til Tuesday Night. I had to bail out of work to take my dog and hang out at my parents' house.

Sorry, with the power outages and extreme heat, I haven't taken the time to get pictures yet. I will try to do that in the next few days.

I noticed with my prior Honda, my dealership switched to a reminder sticker that said "Next Oil Change Due at 15%" I guess your dealership hasn't switched over yet?

Most people will develop patterns with the way they drive, distance to work, traffic, etc. so sometimes it seems that the oil life is similar mileage everytime. Originally (I think I was told by a salesman that didn't know better) I thought the way I drove in the beginning would determine the...

I'm not sure about non-Si models, but the Si models recommend 0W-15 or 0W-20, not positive which without looking it up. As far as I know, there is no conventional oil available with the 0W properties. So if it is a Si model, I would guess that it comes with synthetic. Is the dealership...

I was planning to go today, but ran out of time. I'm gonna try and go tomorrow if I have time.

The rev hang bothered me in the beginning, but I don't notice it much anymore. What would be the downsides or benefits? My only guess would be that not correcting it, would put more wear on the clutch?

I had an '05 Civic Hybrid and I got 46 or 47 mpg. I don't know how she got that bad of mileage. I only got rid of it, because at the time, I had two cars (that one, and a Tacoma) and decided I no longer needed 2 cars, but something that combined the passenger capacity and hauling capabilities...

I haven't tried to calculate. I always did (at least in my head) on all my prior cars. I always wondered how the car calculated, and how accurate it was. Is it actually measuring the amount of gas is being consumed? Or is it trying to make an approximation? The last week or so, the...

I was a little intimidated at the thought of buying a car that required Premium Gasoline. However coming from a Pilot that I was getting about 18 mpg, I haven't really minded paying and additional 35-40 cents a gallon for almost double the mileage. I haven't done my own calculation, but...

The price they wanted is definitely too high. When I found the car at my local dealership, I hadn't completely decided to buy it yet. I was looking for an LX 5speed, which they did not have. They only had one 2 dr and one sedan Si available. I was able to look up other dealerships in the...

On my front plate, the top holes are right in the middle of the bumper. When the dealership had the paper tag on the car, they ran the screws far enough to put two small holes in the bumper. When I put my permanent plates on, the screws run just into the hole, but nothing to grab. Trying to...

Is it me, or is the sheet metal on cars getting thinner and thinner. Yesterday I was looking down the side of my car in the light, (checking for dings since I had to park next to someone in a parking lot) and the doors appeared to be slightly rippled. Not too bad looking, but it was noticible...

When I first got my license I drove a 1983 Chevette, and occassionaly my sister's or her husband's car when I could. Bought a used 1989 Civic LX Sedan. After about 3 months, traded the '89 Civic in for my first new car 1997 Civic LX Sedan. My mom co-signed, but to this day, my dad never knew...
