I had a 98 Civic ex, I was poor and it was my first car. Bought it salvaged with 4k miles on it for 8,000. Last august i rear ended a Suv and the tow hook went through my CF hood and damaged the block so it was considered totalled. Insurance gave me 12K for the car which i went straight to Maita and told them i want a black Wrx with a wing, and the rest is history.
