People ask me when I’m going to get a different car. It’s the aging Civic until we stop being denied all the best options.

If Chinese EVs were allowed to be sold on U.S. markets, Americans would save a ton of money - and oil companies and U.S. car companies would get wrecked. electrek.co/2026/03/05/b...

I've only owned 1 pure Civic, a 97, but I think my 88 CRX, my 24 Integra and maybe 11 Fit should've counted. 84 Accord, no. But firmly on team civic! Gotta have a manual, too.

We just bought a 2026 Civic Sport Touring hatchback hybrid. It's an amazing car for the price. It complements my 2025 Civic Sport hatchback. For a single couple with shorter commutes around the city, they're ideal cars for us. But I'm with you. I want to go with a full electric at some point soon.

[If only Americans being denied "all the best options" were limited to cars, but -- not unlike health care -- it turns out lots of stuff in the "great"... "free"... "democracy" that is the USA is a privilege. Even worse, almost always, a very expensive privilege. So, no, not just cars and medicine.]
