Post Subject: Mid-90s Honda Civics Cars
Mid-90s Honda Civics Cars
My friend Pat M., who lives in Chicago, spent the night in Ann Arbor last Sunday before flying out of Detroit Metro airport early Monday morning. (Don't ask why he drove all the way from Chicago to fly out of Detroit; it's too complicated.) Anyway, as it happened, I was scheduled to leave Detroit at the same time, on the first leg of my journey to Korea to drive the new, 2009 Hyundai Genesis. So I decided to ride to the airport with Pat.
This occasion gave me the opportunity to take stock of Pat's well-worn 1996 Honda Civic sedan, a car he owns because I implored him to buy it, brand-new, twelve long years ago. You see, Pat is not a car guy. He is more of a shoes guy. An antiques guy. A dog guy, and a fluffy down comforters guy. A car, to him, is simply a means of getting from here to there, and he wants to do it as simply, as cheaply, and with as little fuss as possible. Considerations of style and performance are largely irrelevant. I'd already seen him burned by the purchase of an early-90s Pontiac LeMans, the rebadged Daewoo that was one of the worst vehicles GM has sold in the United States in the past quarter-century. Pat's LeMans was no exception, giving him endless grief nearly from the moment he innocently rolled it off the Pontiac dealer's lot. I don't recall if he traded it in on the Honda or if it had already died by that point, but in any case I insisted that he spring for the Civic, as I knew he would drive his next car for many years.
