By his friend drifting it?

How do you go from looking at a 3.2TL to a Civic Si?  Change of heart?

Might have passed a gas station or two on the test drive...

Indeed you can, only if you are willing to pay premium for something AMG based or the likes. Other than that, any car that does 0-60 in more than 4.5 seconds I would like to have to row my own gears for.

The plush interior statement was more or less aimed towards treps gayness.

Yes  you can (and it doesn't necessarily take AMG-class money either)

Upon my nagging, I finally taught this kid to drive stick.

This poor car was the victim:




It took 2 hours and a lot of patience.

My friend didn't know what a tach was, when I asked him if his Civic had one, because I thought I remembered it did.

Its the truth, once you drive a standard every day for a couple of years you can probably teach others much easier.

Yeah, what's up with that? I've seen automatics without a tach, but I don't think I've ever seen a manual car without one.

I drove a late 90's stickshift Civic sedan without a tach once. It was like singing karaoke without the words on the screen.

There are a few. Earlier Rangers come to mind.

Still, I think it's better to learn how to drive manual without a tach anyways.

My friend Brendan had an early 90s Escort (the one before the goofy wavy bubbly styling) that didn't have a tach, it just had a little up-arrow that lit up. It never lit up at a sensible point and quite randomly too, but still.

My 2000 Civic DX didn't have a tach.  I fixed that with a gauge cluster from a Civic EX when I got the car, though.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

Shift lights were ridiculous. They were mapped to suggest shift points that would get the best mileage, not those that would actually make the car move.

My gym teacher has a manual civic sedan from that generation and his also doesn't have a tach

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna
