You know you awn an EF when...

- your e-brake is your cup holder (22ounce on the right, 32 ounce on the left)

- parents call your car a piece of junk and it pisses you off like nothing else

- when driving down the street you get bad looks from everyone and harrassed by the cops

- you have a 3rd grear grind

- you see a cop u shift at 2k not trying to draw any attention

- your whole dash and shift light vibrate when starting her up, and at at red lights

- accelarating from a stop while turning hard your praying not to hear the axles crack

- the salt in the winter is the devil

- your hatch has hit your head due to broken hatch struts.
- you've had to ever "notch" your crossmember for any reason
- AC is a novelty and any CRX with AC is considered entirely too luxurious, thus must be removed promptly.
- someone asks you what "CRX" stands for.

When I read it happened my heart dropped. I only knew him through his cars but my heart goes out to his friends and family. He's in a better place now...

For Randy, you know you own an EF when a stock EF9 just isn't good enough for you -- everything, and I mean everything, has to be overhauled

killa rex

4. you almost got air-borne when u hit a bump @ high speeds

5. you remeber the exact milage when u did the swap

6. you got dents in your door pilar cuz of the door closing on the seat belt

7. you automatically do the open-lock door everytime u get out of the car.

ludesrv

I can say without a doubt I fit in with over 250 of the posted problems...oh god, I'm an EFer...

Maybe we should have meetings to discuss our obsession and why it's bad .

You know you own an EF when you swap out the cloth from a passenger seat pan to a driver seat pan so you can be the only one with a mint driver seat.

StorminMatt

When you have never actually replaced a front wheel bearing, since buying a whole knuckle assembly at the local Pick-And-Pull is just SO much cheaper.

When doing a B-series swap suddenly makes you feel like MUCH less of a loser for driving around in an 18 year old car.

When going into VTEC feels like the car is going to break up into a million pieces...........and you wouldn't have it any other way!

When driving a 1988 4DR that has a clean interior and working A/C actually feels like driving a luxury car.

When Honda people at the track make fun of your faded, trash-filled car.........only to later eat their words when your car runs a whole 2.5 seconds and 18MPH faster than theirs DESPITE the fact that their 60 foot times are about half yours!
