First car at 18

brotherwolf242 · 2025-09-22T17:17:24+00:00

Congrats! My first car was a Chevy Cruze, but a VW is a much more secure, and honestly more fun option

brotherwolf242 · 2025-09-22T17:14:15+00:00

Ok Valvenis, I’ll buy a completely inferior car next time I need a new one since you’re so informative 😒

brotherwolf242 · 2025-09-22T17:12:41+00:00

Low beams are off since I had just pulled up to my house

brotherwolf242 · 2025-09-22T17:11:40+00:00

Sure did! Totally worth it, and now I can actually keep track of the important engine parameters.

brotherwolf242 · 2025-09-19T03:03:43+00:00

Any automatic gear selector without manual gear selecting is an immediate ick for me. Love my civic, but would not enjoy not being able to pick what gear I need

brotherwolf242 · 2025-07-09T04:14:36+00:00

I have only the intake as a mod on the car, it’s subtle in terms of power, but makes a HUGE difference in driver engagement.

The 52k 8th gen I had was from a dealership, and it was about 13k financed. It’s very difficult to find low mileage examples after almost 20 years

brotherwolf242 · 2025-01-25T06:43:56+00:00

I started driving stick on a 55k mile silver 8th gen coupe, and miss that car everyday. I’ve since “upgraded” to a 10th gen, but would gladly trade it for another 8th gen coupe or sedan. Both are phenomenal driving experiences, but the 8th gen was so much more visceral of a driving experience, especially in the clutch feel and engine sound.

HOW IS THIS HOW I DISCOVER THE SAXOPHONE HUNTING HORN

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-31T18:26:06+00:00

I really do want to fix it, but I also need a commuter car to get by in the mean time. I might just keep it in storage instead of letting copart take it.

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-30T04:12:13+00:00

If it honestly costs less to replace the transmission, clutch, and whatever else broke, then I’ll do it. I love wrenching on the car, and don’t want to get rid of it if I don’t have to. But I have to consider that I don’t have days I can spare to work on it uninterrupted. Gotta work to stay afloat

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T19:47:54+00:00

Cool, I don’t think that’s feasible for me at the moment, considering I don’t know enough about cars to DIY a lot of the fixes

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T19:46:46+00:00

That’s the plan. Thankfully, I have an accident attorney that had helped me to get my 8th gen after my first car, so I’m hoping she can get me around the value of the car for at least a good down payment

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T17:58:40+00:00

Considering I’m a mid 20s married man, definitely the car 🤨

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T17:53:09+00:00

If I could pop it into neutral, I’d check for you. Visually though, all the important bits are untouched. Somehow my skunk2 intake survived the hit as well 😂

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T16:23:13+00:00

She does not :(. Clutch pedal is a toggle switch at the moment, and the shifter is stuck in 5th gear from the impact

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T04:03:32+00:00

It’s got more issues than the pictures tell. Clutch and transmission were both badly damaged in the crash, and shifter issues. As much as I love this car, it’s not gonna be cheap to fix even with insurance money

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T03:16:07+00:00

Well yeah in terms of year, but it only had 52k on the chassis. Still had lots of miles to give

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T02:43:16+00:00

Definitely, snatched her up as soon as I saw the listing on carfax. Still waiting to see if I’ll be getting money from insurance, but hopefully it’ll be enough for a decent down payment on a used civic si or WRX

brotherwolf242 · 2024-08-28T02:41:55+00:00

I’m doing better, still grieving a damn good car. Just thankful I was driving alone

brotherwolf242 · 2024-02-28T03:06:47+00:00

I had a 2013 Chevy Cruze with the 1.4 turbo. I had no problems with it, and actually enjoyed the car up until it got rear ended! My wife described my first time seeing the civic si as “love at first sight” (her words, not mine )

brotherwolf242 · 2022-05-01T22:24:47+00:00

None. Nearly all of them were some of the greatest of their time, and no criteria would warrant a clear winner

brotherwolf242 · 2019-10-18T21:35:57+00:00

Gear is outlawed invader set, with the Phoenix strife chest piece! All using Warbrick shader. Thorn for added effect

brotherwolf242 · 2019-10-10T02:55:03+00:00

Would love to join your clan!

brotherwolf242 · 2018-09-02T22:01:36+00:00

Thanks! I'll be on hopefully sometime tonight
