Here is what I used to drive, a 1997 Honda Civic LX Sedan with black 17" ICW rims and projector lights. Besides that, there wasn't much done to it.



About 2 months after buying it, I decided to go the back way to my house. I live in the county and the back roads are "surface treated" which is just a little bit of pavement with rock on the sides. It was 12:11 am and I was coming over a blind hill turn and low and behold there stood a deer. The civic set low in the front (obviously lol) and thinking I would throw the deer through the windshield, I swerved it. Before I knew what was happening I was spinning and knocking into fence posts. I finally came to a halt on a telephone pole. I looked down, all the check engine, low oil, seat belt lights were on. I started it up and moved it. Called my dad who called the cops. At 3 am the wrecker came and hauled it away. Here is what it looked like the next morning in the impound lot.









Just remember, always go slow on back roads and watch for woodland creatures... or this could be your civic.

yeah. body work wouldnt have been a big deal but since i slid over top of the fence posts i severed, it tore the bottom completely out of it. the radiator lines were snapped the oil pan was torn open... just better to take the money from the insurance company and find a new one. looking at a black 98 right now.
