Ok i got off work and decided to head over at QT (gastation to get some drink), i went inside and got my drink. aight im at the counter paying for my drink and noticed this black camaro with black rims pulling up on the gas pump and saw this big guy come out. So i walk out the store and head over to my car and the owner of camaro was also heading over to my direction (I parked my car right by the door) so i press my key to unlock my car and opened the door as the guy pass me by and stopped right before he open the door and ask me if my (fiji blue pearl fg2) is my ride. So i replied back to him yes its my car THEN all sudden he replied back to me and said (YOUR RIDE IS FAWKING TIGHT) so i replied back to him and said thank you. whew... i thought his going to eat me lol the thing is he yelled it out loud YOU RIDE IS FAWKING TIGHT

Only strange thing I can recall was when I first got my EX coupe. Guy comes up my driveway and asks me "is that the new RSX?"

Guess he couldn't read the word CIVIC on the trunk lid LOL

I was waiting for my friend to come down from his apartment and I was stopped in the no parking zone for probably 5-10 minutes. I see the doorman walking towards me and i figure he's going to tell me to move my car. Roll down the window and he says "nice car!" Totally catches me off guard, we had a nice little conversation until my friend finally came down.

LMAO. I left my car running in my sister's driveway one day. Her 4runner was behind it. Anyway, we were going out with friends. Chris, one of the friends, walks in and hollers real loud in his Boston accent "Hey Dawn, Your spaceship is running." Guess they do have that look.

I've alway thought if there was a car that looked like what I think of when I think the word "Corvette" it is the FG. But, uh, obviously that's taken.

I have always thought it did look like a shuttle.

Weirdest experience? Damn I can't think of one.

A Mustang owner once told me I had a nice car. I guess that was kinda weird. Breaking boundaries!

I got a ticket from parking on campus. I've had the civic badge removed for awhile, only the hybrid emblem up.

The ticket was for one GRAY ACCORD hybrid

Ok I live in northeast florida, a land of many rednecks. So I was getting my oil changed one day and this redneck had his big ass truck in the bay next to my car. So the redneck, who of coarse was fat and shirtless, was busy bitching to the tech who was changing his oil about the high gas prices ( because gas was sooo much cheaper 2 years ago when he bought his nissan titan). The tech didn't seem at all interested in cleatus (I don't know the rednecks name but that was probably it) was saying and looked like he wished he would just shut up. So anyway cleatus caught sight of my civic and said "hey thur, I bet that little clown car is great on gas" the tech then grunts. Cleatus then says " too bad that ain't no man's car, probably some old lady drives that thing". Little did he know that the car's 18 year old male owner(me) was sitting in a chair two feet away.

I haven't had any strange comments on the Honda, but the MINI is a different story...

MINIs are pretty rare sights in rural north Georgia...

I pulled it up to the gas pump when it was about a week old, hopped out, and this 'neck comes up to me and asks about my new job. I told him it was a good job and that I was happy. He said that I must really have some high ranking job, and that he was surprised that they let me recharge it at work.

A few days later, this hot chick comes up to me (at the gas pump again) and asks me if it uses gas. I said, "Naw, it runs on these..." and pulled a handful of AA batteries out of my pocket.

When I still had my Si I saw another Si while I was waiting for my girlfriend who was in the gas station. So I walked over & told him nice car. He was like "Yeah it's an 07 Si" (this was like June of 06), "I paid like $2k over sticker to get the 07 because nobody's got em yet, this was the first one in, it was on the showroom floor". I'm thinkin...yeah...the 07's don't come out until Sept, so you paid like $3k too much! LOL...

The worst part is my Si was right there & I was just walkin over to say what's up, but he was acting like I was on his jock cause he had a "07" Civic Si & mine was an 06. Very arrogant.

When my girlfriend finally got done in the restroom I walked off & told him he might want to call his dealer for a refund...cause the 07's dont come out until sept. so you got ripped off.

Stupid people am funny.
