I still own mine (going on 6 years) but don't drive it anymore, it just sits in the garage now ...... I've moved on to a new vehicle...If someone offered me the rite amount for my civic i'd sell it but for now it's just hanging out waiting for me to drag it down to the track or take it for a cruise around the block

I'd like to own my hatch or one just like it... forever. lol. I'm going for a million miles on this one, which shouldn't be difficult as long as no one hits me. *sigh* But it's the perfect car for me. I use it for business because it holds alot, it's extremely reliable, fuel efficient and fun to drive.

BMW = need a bank roll for maintenance!

I don't have any idea how long I will have mine for. I love it, but I think I might always have one around, just might only be track cars. when I start making more money, I'll upgrade to a higher horsepower turbo car....maybe a Porsche 911 twin turbo! hehehehe....

my plans are keep it for like 5 years, cause its mine and i own it (i am 17) then when i get enough money i will buy a nice car, but still keep the civic around there is no point in selling ( what if i go to the track) i will always have this civic around to remember my roots

These are the reasons i'm getting rid of my hatch. It's only a matter of time before it get stolen and when it does i'm out $$$ because insurance would probly only cover the car and cut me a shitty check. Same thing if i were to get into an accident, even a minnor fender bender can total a 10 year old civic 'cause it woudn't be worth it to them to fix. Then i'm left with no car and whatever the insurance decides to write a check for.
