When you can gain 50hp out of your d15b1 by just using OEM honda parts...and still get 35mpg.

When you can drop 4 seconds off the quarter time just by swapping in a stock b18c1.

When you think leaving your spare tire and jack at home makes your car faster...
When you can guess a passenger's weight by how they effect acceleration...
When you think 17's look like wagon wheels...
When you are dissapointed to get 30mpg...

you drive a newer model vehicle and almost rip the steering wheel off trying to turn.

you have to manually wind the seat belt to its designed location.

...... when you are willing to tell your best mate his GF is fat because you don't want her to slow you down.

...... you don't want to drive people around because it will ruin your petrol consumption, even though you probable get double what your mates do.

...... when your GF dumps you because she says you put more time/ effort into your car/ uni studies. (this actually happened today, be lying if i said i wasn't upset about it)

...you think about getting rid of the carpet because the bitch doesn't stay behind the door sills because is all broken. Seriously, the plastic part behind the door sill is real shit, haven't seen a 4g with it in good condition >:( .

...you are driving on a highway at high speed, a big truck in your right lane, another big one on the left, suddenly one of them puts the signal to change to your lane, seems he didn't notice you and starts to change... and you feel

my plastic part behind the door sill is perfect. My interior is pristine, just some minor scratches on the interior panels.

:thumbright:

in fact you know you drive an EF when you drop your car and then make excuses to your friends so you don't have to carry them in the backseat.

you know you drive an EF and feel pride of it when
... you know you don't have to make monthly payments for it

... you are not owned like the 7g and 8g civic's ridiculously high priced parts and ownership

... you only put a couple of bucks of gas and ride a lot with that

... you know you can find almost anything for them online and save a lot with DIY articles :D

... you can take out and put a new radio without kits or adapters, in less than an hour (if you know how to do it)...try to do that in a new civic

... you drive to a parking lot and there's a bunch of guys with body-kitted, spoilered, big-wheeled 5g's, 6g's and 7g's, you know they have to spend a lot to make their cars standout visually while you simply need a front lip and a suspension drop. They look at you all serious and you look at them thinking:

The passenger has to lean uncomfortably close to you to put on their seat belt on. (On US versions)

The handbrake has an emergency release sign, which I still assume it's speaking of the "seatbelt buttons?"

You can't make up your mind of whether you want the seats down or up in the back, it all depends on the mood.

When you get off the freeway and you realize your stereo is blasting.

You realize the fact that Honda pointed the front speakers at the floor.
