I do/did to some minute degree, there is a Honda supply that I support locally. They stamp and weld some of the body parts like the firewall/dash, etc and are one of the few suppliers that can hot-stamp the really high strength stuff.
Cars I've personally worked on built locally or machines exported abroad, skipping some stuff ( ):
Crown Vic, Windstar, Edge, Civic, MDX, Corolla, Rav4, RX350, VW Passat (exported machine), Charger/Challenger/300/Magnum, Caravan, Camaro (when it was here), Some smaller buick, Impala.... so no worries guys, car should hold up at least as well as those others
Regular civic sedans built here too. There might be two factories building the civic sedan since it has a massive market.

Yeah I will get one eventually. They are , so I'll likely just use the for bike transport for now. I've been to the max lately so I need to cool it a bit:
-new Shitvic for new commute
-new cell phone/plan (have to relinquish the iTrude to my old company)
-track day the other week which required new brake rotors and oil change, tore up tires, and burned the usual $100 in fuel, plus $250 reg fees
-bought gas grill because epic half off post Labor Day deal and I'll be home every night now so I wanted it
-bar "bills" have been really high because I've been home a lot and people keep having birthdays and shit
My monthly take home is about to go up about 70% for the first three months with the guaranteed commission but I'm planning to save all of the extra during that time since I can't yet predict what commission will look like after that.

Roof racks are very expensive this is true. Adaptable to other cars tho.
Sucks about the dog. Josie usually just stands on the center armrest and surfs and drools on my shoulder lol.

Well, if I came up for a driving thing/track day at Summit Point, I'd still take the .MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 11:21 am Man, i was looking for the passenger experience, but still congrats on the si. I hope i can test drive it when you visit

Well, the car doesn't exist... so that's the main thing.
But, the Civic is:
-lighter
-has LSD
-better resale
-more usable car
-I just really liked driving it, it felt "right" to me
wouldn't get me the car and there weren't even any Velosters anywhere near me to try out.
I didn't want this to be a six month thing, I start this job in a week and a half and I'll be on the road leading up to that point.

Not that it really matters, but the Si is heavier and slower. The LSD and quicker steering rack probably more than make up for the difference

A full second slower for the Si in real-world 5-60 mph might make a difference?
It's actually about as quick at legal speeds as the which seems plus 400 lbs lighter.
