^ hehe
…you get all happy when the car works like it should, and ppl dont get why your happy.
…theres a whole site just for your car.
i donk think this list will end and
when you beat an eclipse at the 1/4 mile and you step out the car grinning and remind your competition that your car has 209,000 miles on it!
yet we still love our g2’s!!! :hi5:
often when im wrenchin on my teg i think… "im gonna start a thread called the ‘what was Honda thinking when they…’ thread
so its just like this one. this is the best thread ever. we love our cars so much!
…you go over bumps in the road and the rear hatch sounds like an old creaky ship. (hatch rattle)
…you U-turn in the middle of the road because u saw another g2 owner and want to make an instant friend
Your Civic friends call it heavy…
you can buy a nice one for $500…
it runs 14.80’s all day long on motor and everyone thinks you’re spraying…
the guy next to THINKS he can beat you until you put four cars on him…
No one even suspects your car is fast until 5K VTEC stings them…
you have the biggest freakin’ battery on the worst possible location…
your front bumper looks like it was MADE for an intercooler…
You gut your interior to gain 2 tenths in the quarter…
15" wheels still look good…
when your seatbelt gets caught on the visor when you have it off to the side.
lol, great list.
I thought I was the only one with issues w/ the rain making my interior and trunk flood. Why is that?
And what’s the deal with my AC controls? Why does only the last two clicks work and not the first two?
To install cup holders you get two from wal-mart and use your glove box door to hang them from because if you hang them off the doors they get knocked off by the seatbelts of death.
You can’t go past a cop without getting a stare-down
If you go a day without getting revved up at you feel something is wrong.
Your seatbelts have a high body count than you and you actually served in a war zone.
Nobody wants to ride shotgun for fear of their own safety.
I found the cure for getting revved at and raced all of the time: The no cones sticker. It’s on Solotime’s website.
For 4dr owners
When people ask you to scoot up your seat so they can sit in the back.
When people ask you what kind of car do you have? or mistaken for Accords.
When people ask you if your rear windows are broke. (slanted)
When you cant find Euro tail lights for your car.
When you rarely see another car like yours. If that even.
When you tell people you got over 2ooK miles on her.
And choking the new passenger for a g2 owner is a must have.
a little more from my teg…
…when you open your door and stick your head out to see if you’ve parked on the line and your head gets pulled to the steering wheel.
…when you close the passenger door and the top of the window rests over the weather stripping instead of underneath it, leaving a wide opening.
…when you beat the dash as a switch to turn your instrument lights on.
…when your speedo needle shakes like its got osteoarthritis.
…when your car cranks but doesnt turn on in hot weather. (MFR)
…when your missing ONE black plug outside where the windshield wipers are.
…when people close your door and they say its like closing a 100 lb gate.
…when your back seats are wet.
…when at night you can distinguish another DA on oncomming because of their unique and distinct headlight pattern.
and one i regret the most…when your driving at night and a girl is giving you head, it feels damn good…but stops after a couple of minutes cuz shes complaining saying that the death seatbelt is cutting her throat! F*CK!!!
more like missing a bolt \screwfrom every part of the car
when you wedge a cup or can between the parking brake and seat and it still spills.
when you try to stitch up the side bolsters of your seat so its not as noticable.
when you hear the hampster wheel squeaking away behind your speedo as you go faster.
when all these little things piss you off but you still love your car no matter what happenes.
Let me see if I can think of some new ones (almost 95% of the ones previously stated apply)!!
You know your in a DA when…
-You just got SOOO excited to buy $1200 tein SS coilover setup, and after you got it installed you realize you probably would have been just as happy with the omni power coilovers for only $700. I mean the car is 16 YEARS OLD!!
-You want to shoot the guy at honda who thought it would be a good idea to put carpet at the bottom of your door panel so your rubber shoe sole pulls it down slightly everytime you get out of your car.
-Your mudflaps on your slightly lowered DA drag over even the smallest speedbumps. (probably should think about taking them off but they just look so cool 2 inches off the ground.
-The girl you are taking on a date starts laughing and asks you what the hell is that annoying squeeking coming from the rear!!!
:ohyeah:
…when your rims and suspension cost more than what you payed for the car
^^^ so true $500 for the car $700 for the rims
