    It gets frosty here! That's why I signed up for AAA - so I'd have a thin plastic card to scrape ice off the windshield in the morning!

    Plus, my car lives outside, so the mirrors get fogged up with condensation/dew.
    Whoomah!

    Indeed. And it's a very good idea, because years of hacking away at your sideview mirrors with an ice scraper greatly increase the chances of fucking them up.

    Or, you know, covering them up prevents the snow and ice from ever forming on them.

    But sometimes the weather is too tricksey for that!
    Like last Friday (or maybe it was Saturday?), when I checked the forecast at 11pm, and then woke up to 1/2" of icy snow.

    Tee hee hee! You sound like me, except I haven't yet gone over to the dark side of 21st century automobiles. [/scoff]

    Congrats! That looks really good. I like the tinted but not-too-tinted windows, too.

    Well, we'll see ya in about fifteen or twenty years when it's time for a newer Honda.

    The combined km of all of my 21st century automobiles is far below that of this Civic's.

    Well la-tee-da Mr. Frenchman.


    Don't worry, I still have the Ferd Fteenthousand, a 1992 Suzuki Sidekick and an LS-swap S-10 project for my street cred.

    You have to realise that on a "very heavy" week I drive maybe 180km. MAX.
