I owned 1! Gave it to my daughter who moved to NC. Sooo That didn’t last so I flew back and started Motrin on the plane for the drive back to Ca... it took a toll on me. One, you get the small car rage cause everyone tries to cut u off or take u out, Two, it’s uncomfortable ( I was not designed for one) and Three, it cant take 100 for three days across Texas!

Wouldn't the plane ticket cost more than the Civic was worth??

Her! Oh he!! No, this was her deal I was just being dad. She drove too.
Moe, me and you in a Civic is trouble. You ever race a 14 second bracket car with two good racers? It’s a blast? I did! Hammer, Jeff, Chuck Rayburn (stock world champ) and a bunch of others. It’s a blast!! Ron Nichols (Hammer) and I won at Fremont. Yes long ago....That was cool.
We should start a class for pairing up guys or gals in a car. Team Racing!
