Some old photos I have of the Civic I used to own. She wasn't much but she was super fun to drive. My very first car. Mostly stock, previous owner put a muffler on it, and the rims you see. Not very many pictures of the other side because there was only 3 rims and 1 steelie and it looked bad on the other side XD never got a chance to get a full set before we parted ways.
She was rough, and not the cleanest, but it wasn't bad for a daily. She just overheated a lot and that's what made her go kaput. Despite all that, I cleaned that car as best as I could. What you're seeing in these photos was hours of scrubbing. Managed to get the carpets cleaned good but those floormat stains were in there pretty good, tried everything short of a power washer.
The EM2 was the 7th generation of Civics, pretty underrated and generally not liked because the generation before it had so much hype and the expectations were high. Mine was an LX trim, came with a D17A1 engine. No vtec and it being SOHC meant she was slow as hell but that combined with the manual transmission made her so much fun to drive. Sure, she'd be more fun with double wishbone instead of macpherson struts but for what it's worth, very fun to drive.
I'd recommend one honestly! As long as being the fastest person on the road isn't a priority for you, you'll definitely have a blast getting wherever you're going though. The D17 was also made with fuel efficiency in mind and isn't good with mods so don't get one thinking you can turn it into a race car - in that situation an engine swap comes first. (Also keep an eye out for overheating, not sure if it's true but I've heard from other EM2 owners that that's a pretty common issue with the D17)

how do u put on multiple pics on ur blog?
I have an account on catbox.moe, I just upload photos on there and then link them up when typing up the blog here. There should be a button at the top that lets you imbed images via links. Catbox is the only file sharing host that works with this site and my website out of tons I've tried so I mostly just stick to it for both.

Oh and to add multiple images, just click that button again after your first image has already been added to the blog and it'll put the new image directly below the one you just uploaded
