Re: You know you own an EF when...
This thread is so full of awesome. It shows just how much dedication we have to these amazing cars.
I'll add my own.
You know you own an EF when everyone gives you crap about your car, but asks you to let them know if you ever want to sell it....
You know you own an EF when you pass emissions, despite having a hollow catalytic converter...for the past 4 years...

Re: You know you own an EF when...
I have just became more proud of being a EF Owner. I am never selling my hatch.
( sells next day for a EG hatch, knowing parts are easier to get )
lol, Never.. **** Eg's

I know it's been said before, but my absolute favorite...
You know you own an EF when you use the spot between the E brake and the passenger seat as a cupholder.

Re: You know you own an EF when...
WOW sooo many of these fit me.
my dad constantly yells at me for buying a car just to have it in my garage getting fixed.
cupholder
own multiple cars to keep one on the road.
All your friends ask why i keep putting money into it or why i wouldnt trade for some newer honda
you think of the noises your car makes as some sort of entertainment instead of a radio
swimming pool in the back.
i guess im doing something right though since my GF wants a crx for her next car and asks to drive half the time if its running
ha damn this thread was a great read. i guess i can try to add
you might be an EFer if over half of the Plastic screws on your car are now zipties
you might be an EFer if you spend more money on driving for your parts than what the parts are worth (i envy people who live around places with lots of parts
)

Re: You know you own an EF when...
When your GF is embarrased to ride in your car for fear someone will see her in it.
You cant sell your car, because you put 4x more money in it than you can get for it.
I think those were said before, but I think those are the best. This thread is humorous, because everything was true.

When you look in the rear view mirror on your crx and think that car coming up behind you looks like a renault clio then realize your hatch glass just made that vw golf look like a widebody.

like if they had done a decent job on mine it would be okay, but it looks like trash
luckily they didn't use enough hardener so I can clean it off with a wire wheel I hope

Re: You know you own an EF when...
When just the hatch staying open on your crx puts a smile on your face. $20 well spent for new hatch struts. Feels like a whole new car.

[QUOTE=thenick;22599140]your motor/wheels/suspension costs more then your car
a paint job and rust removal is on the top 3 list of things to get done to your car
92 hp doesn't feel all that slow
you itch to find a climate control in mint condition
you'd pay more for some discontinued CRX floormats then you would for someone to fix your car
you think power windows/steering/locks are for pussies
you've had condensation in at least one of your EF's lights
your stock exhaust is only slightly bigger then a Wendy's straw
you do 95% of your shopping at a junkyard
you chase down old people driving mint EF's asking them if they'd sell it
you're scared to drive in Winter for fear of your car rusting
When your mud flaps cost more than an 18 wheelers.
