Well if you're gonna get a Honda, you better go with the honda civic or
nothing - late 80s early 90s model is what ya want.  Around here, honda civics
are like vw vans... there's a group of people that are diehard about them but
they sure do last long & are quite reliable, get good gas mileage too!  Oh
yeah, I'm just tryin to ease up the mood a bit.  My dog ain't in this fight.
