omg shoes

I finally got summer tires onto the mighty civic. Well, they’re all-season tires… but they’re GOOD all-seasons, and they’re summer tires for me since I have snows. They were a birthday present from the parents. Tires are given more often for birthday/xmas than you’d think, but typically I genuinely need them so it’s much appreciated. The gift of not skidding off the road and dying a flaming death is always a good one. I was on RE-92s for a long time, then snow tires till just now. I’d pretty much forgotten what it’s like to be able to point my car where I want it to go, and have it go there with little or no protest. Also now wind noise is louder than road noise, something else I’m not used to. New tires = good times.

    Ah, a fellow civic driver!

      What my mighty little civic lacks in power it makes up for in build quality and gas mileage. Mine is a 2005 black 2-door 5-speed. I even like the way it looks, believe it or not =x.

      Truth be told it isn’t the first civic I’ve had. A couple years ago I had a 1990 CRX that I like quite a lot. This is despite needing a little love and care. I even raced it at some BMWCCA ice races to a good deal of success. The pics in the first link that are all snowy are me parked in the middle of a frozen lake, waiting to run =P. Civics can be fun cars… even with out all the crazy wheels and lights people put on the poor things.

        I am much lazier. I just have a automatic 06 coupe.

        Looks pretty though.

          the lines of the ’06 are growing on me. and in all honesty if you spend most of your time commuting and never really plan to race, an auto is 100% fine to have. I’m lazy too, but I’m more anal than lazy and desire that extra level of control =P. grats on the car though man, these things are indestructible.
