Probably not, I may try to get the whole show someday. I got the complete TOS Remastered dvd set for 50% off at the Star Trek store a couple of years ago.

how about we not be biased. where was this comment when it was made about the civic? are you implying the civic has a smaller aftermarket than the rx8, or that it looks better than the civic, or that its more reliable than the civic? the rx8 does a lot of things better than the frs. its easy for you to see how wrong my overly asserted statements are but then there are times where people are ranting about how an frs is better than a ferarri and there is little objection.

you guys can continue to criticize me for not having such a distorted perception. that doesnt bother me. i just dont understand why when the op shares his decision and how happy he is, everybody tries to tell him he is wrong.
Pot, meet kettle...please don't throw the word "bias" around...the hypocrisy is unbearable

PS: I didn't tell the OP is wrong, he made the best choice for HIS needs...nothing wrong with that

They need to do Deep Space 9 in Blu-ray or else I will die an unhappy man

I should call my car the USS Defiant based on all this controversy!!

It would look so perfect next to my Battlestar Galactica on Blu-ray. I need to complete the Ron Moore collection you know? The trailer for the new Star Trek into darkness looks amazing. And the new Man of Steel trailer looks pretty good too. Iron Man 3 looks cool. Remember in the 80s we were just lucky to have Hey Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson Batman?

You can't deny that this is a good looking car.

That, which is not stock, is a nice-looking car!

You know the funny thing is back in the Air Force I test drove an RX-8 over night. It was so fun. I had the 2004 Si at the time. The "Egg" car.

The Civic SI is a great car and probably get better MPG than the FRS.

The FRS is a wannabe S2000 but probably get better SPG (Smiles Per Gallon) than the Civic.

Yep I remember the 89 Batman, I was 11 when it came out. The Defiant reminds me of a 1990's Viper.

every single time I see a post by you, its almost always geared towards the negative side about the frs. and then the inevitable argument/debate afterwards. don't act like you don't. just saying its getting pretty old after 2k+ posts by you. you don't like this car. why waste the countless hours on our forum?

I just re-watched my own video, I didn't mean to sound so negative on the BRZ. It just came out that way. Sure I didn't like some things, and that is why I traded it in, but I should have been a bit more neutral about it. I may redo it, get a proper camera man perhaps. Review it on its own terms.

im not a hypocrite. if someone can say the rx8 does everything better than the civic i think its well within reason to say the rx8 does everything better than the frs. pick a standard to speak about and run with it. i will be happy within those standards. i would like to have this car cultivate a community where there is a support for the sporting nature of the auto industry but instead, its just turning into a bunch of people with entry level sports cars taking a huge dump on other people with entry level sports cars.

all of those posts that seem negative are in response to peoples heavily biased opinions that i disagree with. if its old to you, dont comment. the frs is a great car. i think its the sportiest out of the box option this side of the the cayman. i like this car a lot and i am really interested to keep up on its evolution. does that mean i want to see countless posts talking shit on cars ranging from hyundai to ferarri? no. for a budget sports car, its great. on a more absolute scale its mediocore at best. just be real with your expectations.

In what world? I don't even know which direction to move first with tearing this statement apart...

Op - Congrats on the new car. I was a die hard Honda kid until I traded in my '91 CRX Si for a turbo eclipse almost 15 years ago :-) I always thought I'd eventually end up owning another Si, but now I'm not so sure. You gotta go with the car that suits you. I came from an Evo X when I finally bought my S2000, ended up finding that neither of them suited me the way my 86 does.

I am pretty sure the civic si gets worse mpg seeing it's a 2.4 and has a lot more torque

Congrats on your purchase, hope you like it. I could never see myself buying a car like that again. FWD just ruins the driving experience too much for me.
