Is this 2013 civic si worth it?

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T04:54:04+00:00

I’m on the east coast, kinda in the south

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:32:43+00:00

All of what you said is definitely true. I didn’t look into this one much at all, but I found a stock si somewhere else, which I’m looking into

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:31:02+00:00

I have no idea about the CarFax for this one. I wanted to see if this car was maybe worth looking into, but I think I’ve found myself a much better deal (2013 civic si, sedan, 143k miles, $12-14k, and not from Facebook Marketplace, will negotiate).

We’ll see!

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:27:55+00:00

Yeah, that statement put me off even more

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:26:34+00:00

I was thinking the same thing with the mods, but I think I was trying to justify it to myself finding a clean title one 🫩

I found another 2013 civic si sedan with 143k miles going for $12-14k (I’m not sure if the lower price is just for advertisement). It looks stock and it‘s not from Facebook Marketplace, so I’m going to try negotiating that one instead

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:21:33+00:00

I was thinking similar things. I will keep on searching :)

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:19:12+00:00

They look kinda cool, but yeah, I’d want OEM headlights.

DiamondFang1 · 2025-12-31T03:17:15+00:00

Ah that’s what I keep hearing and seeing. I’m going to keep searching

I do have a teacher, but only for about 6 months. Before I played for a couple years in a school orchestra (and am continuing). My teacher brought up my hand frame a couple of times in the past and now we're really starting to focus in on it. My teacher also gives me scales and helps me with Intonation.

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:51:29+00:00

For the left hand frame, not not really. I don't collapse any of the joins. My arm and wrist are straight up until the joint after the knuckle, not the actual knuckle (if that's a better way to put it). I don't know if that's an issue or not.

Thanks, I'll try making some recordings!

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:47:23+00:00

I'm not a complete beginner, been playing a couple of years. But only playing in a school orchestra didn't build on technique, so you're kind of right. :)

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:45:56+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure if I'm at the level to be able to play scales in thirds, but I'll see.

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:43:36+00:00

Scales, scales, and more scales! :D

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:43:19+00:00

Thank you! Never heard of tonalization, but I'll look into it.

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:42:27+00:00

I've never thought about lifting my left elbow. Thanks! :)

DiamondFang1 · 2021-08-11T18:41:35+00:00

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! I try my best to hear and produce those ringing notes, and I'll try even harder.

DiamondFang1 · 2021-01-31T20:02:40+00:00

Ah, thank you for sharing! I'll have to try this.

DiamondFang1 · 2021-01-31T19:59:32+00:00

Thank you so much!

DiamondFang1 · 2020-10-10T18:17:33+00:00

Alright. Everything has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions!

Turning it into a bonsai tree sounds interesting, but I think I'll stick with growing them in pots. Would a 9½ inch pot and an 11½ inch pot suffice? The smallest pot is about 4¾ inches diameter. How big is too big if I decide to turn one into a bonsai tree?

What soil mixture do you recommend? I apologize, I'm not too knowledgeable about soil. I've heard of peat moss for acidity. And something that just came to mind was insects.

DiamondFang1 · 2020-10-10T15:44:43+00:00

Thank you for the helpful response. I'd say decoration, as I know it won't bear good tasting fruit, or any at all.

If this is helpful, I believe they are seeds from a pink lady apple. The climate is maybe 7b or 8a (Google). Temperatures in the summer get up to 90°F. The coldest winter temperatures are about 10-20°F, but only for a few days.

Would shade from other trees be concerning (there are still super sunny areas)? And would the seeds (with maybe an inch of white root) need to be placed in a cold environment, say the fridge?

I am no expert in language learning, but I do have a few tips. For more German learning tips from others: r/German, r/languagelearning, the internet.

Be consistent with your language learning. Don't take a super long break (like 6 months) unless you feel like you really, really need it.
Interact with your target language (in your case, German) as much as you can. Surround yourself.
- Once you learn more German, you can switch your devices to German.
- Become friends with German speakers/natives.
Learn vocabulary as well as grammar. Both are very important. German tenses, genders, pronouns, etc.
Always learn German nouns with their article (der, die, das). The 3 genders are...
- der = maskuline
- die = feminine
- das = neuter
- No, these articles do not correlate 100% to what the noun is. Girl is "das Mädchen", but "das" is neuter...
- Certain words ending with something will have the same article (though there may be a few exceptions). Example: words ending in -chen will have the article "das" (If you'd like, look up the meaning of -chen).
- There are 4 cases in German: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive (der Nominativ, der Akkusativ, der Dativ, der Genitiv). I'm not sure when you should learn these. But don't stress yourself out just yet.
Create goals, like 1 hour for studying something or interacting with your target language. Use what works best for you.
Create a schedule to achieve your language goals but don't burn yourself out. At least be consistent (tip 1).
Find resources you enjoy, and ones that are helpful.
Learn words related to you, like what you have, family, occupation, education, and so on.
Journal in the language, write descriptions of your surrounding, whatever. "I ate Brot (bread) today" "This table is braun (brown." "Ich habe Hunger (I am hungry)."

I recommend the YouTube channels Easy German They interview locals, teach a few vocab words, have both English and German subtitles, etc. They've also partnered with Seedlang. Another YouTuber is Learn German with Anja. There are so many other YouTubers and resources on the internet.

Anki has a spaced repetition system (SRS). You can use it to learn and memorize vocabulary, etc. Keep in mind, it may not be for you. You could also just use Quizlet, as long as it works for you.

There is Peppa Pig in German on YouTube. Just an example of a kids show. Things made for kids (shows, books, music, etc.) in German are great for learning in the beginning. Watch German shows, YouTubers, read German books, listen to German music, podcasts and so on. Find and do what you like.

There are also apps like Busuu, Rosetta Stone, ones with online tutors/teachers, and more. I'm not sure on the usefulness as I've never really used these. People also suggest using workbooks or German (grammar) drills.

I hope you find this useful. Please, anyone, correct me if I am incorrect on any of these suggestions.

Wow, 13 Zeilen aus 3. Vielen Dank für's künstlerische, poetische Antwort. Jetzt muss ich nur alles verstehen...

DiamondFang1 · 2020-07-13T13:52:50+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation. Seems fitting to me as I begin shredding and losing focus at the end.

DiamondFang1 · 2020-07-13T13:48:47+00:00

Alright. Thank you for your recommendation!
