June 1 for me - you beat me by a week. . But I won't hit 50k for another 13 years!

Hah...nice. Were you the first one to pick one up from that dealer?

I thought about keeping my civic as a daily, but couldn't bring myself to drive this in the snow for an extended period of time:

Old one spins off, new one spins on. Can't explain that!

My dealer was allocated 6 cars - I was #1 on the list, however they somehow got a shipment of 3 cars on June 1st! One guy had come to pick his up already. I waited till after work. Third car was still there when I left.

Great looking Civic - did you hang on to it?

I work from home 3 days a week, commute in 2 days, and own 3 cars. My work is 10 miles away, local shopping is within 3-4 miles. My BRZ will sometimes sit for a week+. I bring my beater to the shopping malls due to door dings, so again, the BRZ stays in the garage.

Damn time flys!

I didn't keep the Civic, but I would only sell it to someone who was going to garage it in the winter and keep it stock. He actually didn't buy it with the rims so I took some money off it but when he showed up he had his own set of HX wheels.

You are correct.

I haven't done any maintenance yet since I'm covered under a maintenance plan but the 7,500 interval I get them at sounds a bit much.

They're called spin on for a reason :p. Just be sure to coat the o-ring on the new filter with some fresh oil.
