Civic
I’m on the verge of yet another turning point in my life, I was approached recently by a local car magazine to work for them as a writer, actually everything was purely by chance, the editors saw this blog, liked it and contacted me.
And all these while I thought my wish for ever working in a car mag would never materialize.
The proposed job (cross your fingers!) would require me to own a car, and that really got me thinking. I’ve put my studies on hold, to chase my dream! To own a car (preferably a civic) before my 24th birthday and to finally write about something which I love.
Fantastic I thought! It’s better than killing 5 birds with one boulder. I can’t believe how fortunate I am. Of course with almost no savings at all, buying a brand new car is out of the question. So I delved into the world of used cars. A few models did catch my eye, and bearing in mind that I can’t buy sports cars and anything above 1600cc all thanks to insurance and road tax, I singled the make and model I wanted.
Enter the 92-95 Honda Civic, the base design of the civic didn’t change for those few years, why? Because it’s become a classic in its own right. The car is so popular amongst modification junkies you can rarely find one that is still stock nowadays. I want the 3 door EG6 personally hehehe…
The civic gained further exposure thanks to the movie “The Fast & The Furious” whereby the performance of the VTEC engine left many worldwide in utter shock, there was a reported frenzied scramble for that model of civic after the show, I was no exception.
Ok enough about that, I would probably have written an entire report on the civic if I don’t practice controlled writing. Nevertheless, I was out hunting online today, saw lots of sweet civics, sedans and hatches, within price range too (30K) lets hope my salary would be enough. I wannna live the ah beng dream…=P
Its so bleeding close I can smell the carbon monoxide…I’m getting high…
