MoskalBM52 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hey, my name is Brian and live in Akron OH. Im new to the import crowd but not to cars. grew up working pontiacs and chevys from the 70's. but since my budget isnt that high for 70 chevelle i gotta look towards new muscle. so i just sold my jeep and am planning to buy a civic, but since im new i dont know what to really look for. ive seen some slightly modified civics beat american muscle. and some heavily modified ones kill alot of the cars on the street. since i only have $4500 i gotta buy a civic that gets me to wear i go and back. but still have some money to customize it. so if anyone has any answers let me know.
