nice car Nick. I think my next car will be silver as well, dark blues no more, at least that's what I tell myself...lol

Very nice Nick, congratulations.
And I have to agree with you on the Type R. I've seen a few around Tampa and I'm partial to your Si. Clean and Speedy looking w/o being overstated.

Haven’t seen the Type R in person, but based on photos I agree. Si looks much more reserved and not so “Fast and Furious” looking.

My daughter upgraded her '13 Elantra manual for the same exact car Nick. She loves it. I do to - especially since I put some Opti Coat on it before anyone had a chance to mess it up. :-) Best of luck!!!

I've coated 2 with Mckees coat so far and yeah I feel the 2fast 2furious vibe

Congrats buddy!

Nice Nick! Congrats! I like the new Civic's, Honda did a good job on them! And I see it's a 'proper' gearbox as well!

Congrats on the new ride, better as a DD for sure. Silver was a great color choice too. Keep us posted and thanks for all your advice and great products for us geeks.

Nick, congrats on the new ride...and mods already! I'm sure some new rims are in the very VERY near future though, right?!

245 hp and an extra 80 ft/lbs...holy s%&t! The Tail of the Dragon offer is still extended to you and a buddy!

I swore it would never happen, but my (2016) WRX started to get stale. Yes it was an absolute BLAST to drive at 10/10ths, but as a daily driver / family vehicle, my patience was starting to wear thin. Much like a new girlfriend, the quirks that didn't bother me at first started to get on my nerves. Plus, the (solid red) paint was a nightmare to deal with. There was simply no joy in detailing it.

Funny, same thing happened to me last June.

The black 2016 WRX was just kinda getting old...absolute hoot for 18 months, one of funnest cars I ever owned, but was getting tired of the somewhat 'raw' parts of daily driver use. Traded it on a black 2017 Accord V6 Coupe...much nicer overall transportation.

Sure don't miss all the nooks and crannies of the WRX bodywork though; was always a pain to blow all the water out of everywhere after washing.

Nice Si though; hopefully it wears better than the WRX...i like even our base Civic daily...nice package.
