Well time along with mainly rust Evil or Very Mad

forces me to retire (scrap) my faithful and newest and probabley last civic.(circa 1995) Crying or Very sad

Gonna miss my faithful 4 door,but it was a good and reliable ride and for the most part
of low maintance (Normal for a Honda product). Sad

Now for the good part,I'am replacing it with a brand new Honda! Not a civic (Please don't throw stones Laughing

) It's a 2009 Element, our 2nd Element! And yes I will get to drive it occasionally Laughing

my wife gets to test drive it till the one I'am driving is no longer roadworthly Rolling Eyes

.Now I will be driving for the most part our 03 elephant Laughing

except when I will be behind the wheel of ole Zero (79 civic)my first and only new car of my own Laughing

P.S. Gonna save all the good parts ie engine 168k and so on from the 95.Possiable trans plant for ole Blue (79)I'am rebuilding.

Wow, nice trade up. I would trade my 92Prelude and Sir for an Element or even a Ridgline.

Post some pics when you have a chance.

My son is still driving his 93 Civic, great little cars. The EG are slowly disapearing, but what left standing is a reminder of what a great Civic they built.

So yours was made in Canada then!

A little late posting pics and on the good side the civic nver made it to the scrapyard but found a new life with another owner.Gave her away to a friend who need wheels.He removed all the rust gave her a touch up of paint and she looks like a million bucks.
P.S. He likes it better than the toyota that his wife drives;she said it even rode better. Laughing
