2003 Honda Civic EX
The Story
The car that started it all. Dad drove this to every little league game, every school play, every family road trip. The AC never worked right but we never cared — windows down, radio up.
“It wasn't the fastest or the fanciest. But every mile in that car felt like home.”
Sold to a neighbor's kid down the street. I hope it gave him as many good memories as it gave us. Some cars just have that energy — they take care of whoever's behind the wheel.
Key Milestones
Dad picked it up from the dealership on a Tuesday. We all piled in for the first drive around the block.
The whole family drove 600 miles to visit grandma. AC broke halfway. We sang songs the whole way.
Dad let me take the wheel in an empty parking lot. I stalled it four times. He never lost patience.
Sold to a neighbor's kid who needed a first car. We watched it drive away from the driveway.

About the Owner
Car guy since birth. Grew up in my dad's garage, now building my own legacy. Every car I've owned has a story — and I'm not done writing them.
More From This Garage
View AllMom's trusty Camry. She drove this to work every single day for five years. We called it 'The Silver Bullet'. It survived two fender benders and one very unfortunate parking garage incident.
My first car. Saved up for two years working weekends. The day I drove it off the lot I cried — actual tears. Candy apple red, 5.0 V8, and absolutely zero practicality. Perfect.
Hired for our wedding day. Pulled up to the church in a Rolls-Royce Ghost — Midnight Sapphire, white ribbon on the bonnet. I'll never forget the look on her face when she saw it waiting outside. We only had it for six hours. It felt like a lifetime.
