Civic Noob...

Hey 8th!

So I have had my Civic for about 3 weeks now. I needed something that got better than the 14-16 mpg I was getting and I wanted something that looked good to. This is my first car and my first import for that matter.
When I turned 16 I drove this 82 GMC Caballero (aka El Camino) had a big ole 305 V8 with the HP #s of about 145...how crappy is that? I totaled it Sophomore year of college.

After that I inherited my Mom's 97 Ford Aerostar...sorry no pics...I drove that for about 2 years (I was on the east coast for year without...what a shame...)
Then my parent's more or less bribed me into sticking with swimming my final year of college with a truck. Here is my last pic of it with all its mods:

It was a sad day to trade it in after all the time and $ I had put into it but gas was just killing me with my commute everyday. So I made the decision to get some MPG and came home with this:
2007 Honda Civic LX Coupe 5-Speed

Only plan to do a few things to it...well at first I thought that then I started thinking more...
But my Big 3 are: Tint, Wheels/Tires and some better speakers.
(Then I started thinking about getting some drop coils since I have read 17s look better when there is a little less fender gap...)
So I hope to get some advice and help and hopefully meet up with you since I have no knowledge at all of cars since I just came from the world of trucks.
