So, you would beat the ass of anyone who stopped by? And you were pissed at people for driving by and beeping? Did you want them to stop and help you out - and if so - you would have beat their ass? Hmm I'm a bit confused.
Wow, that Ford joke is so fresh, did you come up with that yourself?
In my case I don't like FWD econoboxes because they are FWD econoboxes. You can make them 'look better' (sic), make them faster and louder (wee) but in the end its still going to plow around every corner and slip the tires if you try to put any power down on a turn and, of course, be seen on every street, probably driven by high school chick.
It sucks to be stuck on the side of the road broken down, trust me , Ive been there many times , but you (original poster) kind of come off as an ass. And why did you need to take the bumper off? Is it an aftermarket one ? If so I'm sure it adds to the already legendary appeal and race car looks of the Civic.
