no get off the web site. haha jk. I used to own a supercharged crx. I though it was fast at the time until I got to feel some torque. then it was a no brainer. keep your car clean and use it as a daily driver when you can afford to get a lsx vehicle. I kept my crx as my daily driver till I was 25 and my insurance was very low. just an idea

WELCOME. It's cool that you at least modded the appearance with taste and class. Unlike some rice-a-jibronies who think the gaudier and blingier (I know it's not a word) their import is, the faster and hotter looking it must be!

I feel your pain on the insurance. I pay 400 every 6 mo and I have never filed a claim in my life. That state minimum isurance too. I have 1 speeding ticket and one failure to stop, and I still pay through the nose for my DSM.

Everyone has to bust his ballz lol. I use to also drive a crx but mine was turbo. Then I owned a skyline powered 240sx. After youre done being slow you'll eventually drive something with an ls1 in it, which is why I'm putting a LS1 in my 240 hehe. I stay off the nissan forums and alot of the import forums, well because they're all haters. Everyone hates the faster guy! Enjoy the site and Happy Holidays!

you're honda is tastefully put together. I dont think people on the boards hate hondas as much as we hate poorly "modified" hondas that are held up on a pedistal. Nothing worse than the owner of a riced out honda calling you out and making fun of you because you dont own an import. But that is a sophisticated looking honda you got there. Its wins my approval.
