TSX vs Civic

So, I'm cruising home from school on I-95 going around my average speed (75 -80mph) and I hear this awful noise.. sounded like a loud weed whacker. I then turn to look through my passenger window and what do I see... A older model red civic with HUGE body kit and a WING that can make him fly... That awful noise was his fart can exhaust... He decided to pace with me and accelerate/slow down to keep speed with me. So being the cool guy I am... I dropped my gears and did nothing LOL... Just kept cruising.. HAHA then this fool decides to fly by me (I guess he was mad I didn't race him) and when I say fly buy me.. I was exaggerating.. he was slow as hell... just wanted to make this funny post because some people are fools trying to race on the highway.. especially with slow ass cars.

I always get a good laugh out of those riced out civics who's drivers think they're race cars. Good to know someone else shares my sense of humor.

I swear I was pulled over, doing 45 kph in a 40, in 3 inches of snow - so, that's like 3 mph over the limit - because the cop thought my 06 TSX was a Civic. It seemed like he realized his mistake, saw my snow tires on alloy rims, and said, "Slow down, and have a nice day," and drove away. I've had the car almost 4 years, and I suspect that officer is not the only one to take the familial resemblance the wrong way, hence [in part] the drastic styling change for the 09 model.

Back to Civics, as nice as it is to lap dive a BMW on the track, it is a wonderful thing to lap TWO M3's in your old, slightly modified Civic (but no wing); sure, the guys in the BMW's had more to lose, and weren't really pushing it, and I know that Shannoville isn't Mosport, where a Civic CAN keep up. But I've also seen some Civics that my stock TSX couldn't touch, and still miss mine; it is very rare that I feel I'm pushing the limits of the TSX, but that was often something I felt I was doing, just driving around town. I think it was Car & Driver that recently said the same kind of thing about the Lotus Elise: the car's reflexes are so sharp, it's the most fun you can have without breaking the speed limit!

They mention something similiar about the Honda Fit. Maybe less so on the ultra sharp reflexes point but definitley having a lot of fun while still being under the speed limit... And we can afford a Fit, Lotus; that would be more of a stretch
