I originally bought the 2000 Civic SI car in May 2000 – we were still renters then – and I wanted a sporty small car to commute in. My commute was about 40 miles daily, and I wanted a car that got reasonable gas mileage, but had passing power at speed on the interstate (part of my commute is on 495, aka the Washington Beltway) . My previous car, a red 1990 Honda Civic SI, had over 120k miles at that time. The 1990 Civic SI was a hatchback model, a little sport-wagon, a very sensible car design I adore.
(See my Car-buff page for more on sportswagons. )
The 2000 Civic SI was a 2door Coupe body, not the hatchback style I prefered. But we needed another car, and because the previous SI had been so solid and reliable, after a bit of comparision shopping, I bought it.

About that Sony DRM thing …
Click the graphic for more info
Sony’s inspired attack on legitimate purchasers of their music discs has inspired me to stay away,
even tho the spyware/malware installed by the rootkit discovered on some of their discs has no effect on MAC users like me, its odeous and offensive and needs to be STRONGLY discouraged..
Send a distintive message to Sony for this holiday Season …don’t buy ANY Sony “CDs”
Just say NO to the new Kate Bush album (her first in 12 years!) on Sony …
Just say NO to the newly remastered Bruce Springsteen Born To Run 30th anniversary CD with 2 DVDs.
I was planning to buy both as Christmas gifts – but Sony won’t get my money this Christmas!
