I'm back after 12 years :-). My 1st Honda was a brand new 1997 Black Honda DX 5 speed 2 door coupe with no power steering and no power windows. But it had AC. Very good car, light, and relatively easy to work on. I was able to change the front brake pads in like 15 minutes total at the college parking lot. 40 mile commute to college every other day I hit the speed limiter at 120mph many many times. Worst MPG was 30 and best MPG was 43. I have raced it at Atco raceway and ran 16.1 at around 84 mph bone stock. Added headers and a stock exhaust with catalytic converter from a 99 SI. Made a custom CAI. Fun commuter car. Sold it in 2002.

Bought a new 03 Mazda 6S 5 speed manual after I got a full time job. Also a fun car with power everthing. Added a cat back and CAI. Car ran 15.0@95mph.

Started a family in 09 and bought a used 08 Honda CRV EXL AWD. Great car with a lot of utility. Sold the 6 in 13 and got a 14 Toyota Sienna.
