I drive a Civic, I tell people I drive a Civic, it's better than trying to explain to people what an Si is. Who really cares about what people think about your ride, as long as VTEC still puts a grin on your face.
That's not the worst, trying to explain where I work is a always a challenge.
"What do you do?" I work at Company X.
"What do they do?" Semiconductors.
"Huh?" Kinda like Company Y.
"Ohhhhh, I still don't get it." Yeah, don't worry about it.
