New guy first time Honda owner

[lockednloaded]

Hi guys. New to the forum and new to Hondas as well. I'm more of a dodge guy. Had a ram 1500 hemi, Dodge Challenger r/t, both gone now. Waiting on the new hellcat to actually appear on a dealer lot somewhere so I can buy one!!! Anyway I sold my old challenger and ram when I left for navy bootcamp and got a charger for my wife to have a nice car while I was away. I came back last Saturday and since we both need a car and the charger was all we had we picked up a 2015 civic Si last Thursday as our other vehicle. She's not very good at driving stick so she I've been driving it more than her. Which I have to admit....I like it that way. Never thought I'd like a Honda but here I am with a 2015 si. I think it looks great and the vtec got me hooked! Pretty awesome daily driver! I've always been a forum guy. I like reading on forums about anything I enjoy so naturally I looked for a civic forum that's how I found this place. I've been lurking a lot for the last few days and have read a lot of the build threads and gotten a lot of good ideas for mods and learned a TON already about civics. Look forward to learning even more! Thanks for all the good info.

Here's my 2015 orange fire pearl Si

Welcome to the site. A lot of people seem to dislike Hondas (especially the domestic car lovers) until they drive one. My coworker just got a 2010 R/T. What was the reason why you got rid of yours?

I got rid of mine for two reasons. dodge announced the hellcat coming for 2015 which is amazing and exactly what I've been waiting for a few years since the rumors of it first started and also because I joined the navy and didn't know what my future would hold as far as where I'd be stationed if I'd be on a ship with no need for a car etc so instead of paying on two cars (payments,insurance,car taxes) that just sit there doing nothing I traded both in (my ram and challenger) on a charger for my wife that she would actually need and use as a daily driver for work. Then I finished my 6 months of training and got stationed at a base not a ship so I need a car now so I ended up with this and couldn't be happier. So il have a dd that I love that's super fun to drive and then when I get it il have the hellcat that I love too haha

It will be sweet owning a Hellcat. It will be a classic car for sure like the 396 Challenger R/T. I take that you will keep the Si as a daily and the Hellcat as a weekend car when you get it?

For sure. Even with my r/t I would never daily drive that thing. Was my weekend joyride car that I planned to keep forever. That's what the hellcat will be for sure now. Beastly weekend joyride car lol. And a $60k garage filler in the winter haha. But yes the si will be my daily. I sense a lot of fun ahead of me for a loooong time with the si. Not one bad thing to say about it. Other than this forum has my wallet on fire in my pocket every time I see some of the mods you all have on your cars looking and sounding awesome.

There will be no need to add aftermarket parts on a Hellcat. Put those funds on the Si for sure!

Welcome! As nix said, I think you're the first 2015 SI owner here. Congrats and enjoy it!

I'm stationed in groton on the sub base. I report on Thursday I'm on leave right now out of A school. I'm actually from CT anyway so it actually works out kind of nicely haha. Thanks for the welcome! You assigned to a ship? I'm a HM so I'm just in the clinic on shore duty.

Nice man. Much respect. Thank you for your service. I probably won't deploy at all since I won't be assigned to a ship working at a clinic and I didn't get sent to field med so I won't be going overseas with the marines. Your the real deal out there deploying.

Appreciate the love man. We don't pick our first orders though lol. But hey, you may make a career out of it. I hear shore duty is where it's at!
