Well, after hearing about the Spirit of Ecomodder, I’m in a similar boat.

Went on a road trip recently and it was very icy. Was doing great and managing the car well until a cop started following and keeping really close pace beside me. He did it for 15 minutes or so in traffic and I got stressed out. Started slowing down for a red light and noticed he was trailing me closely, then looked forward and realized the parked truck ahead of me. Smack! I got out and started apologizing profusely but it looks like the guy’s ball hitch kept any damage from happening to his truck. I guess at 30 km/h the civic takes all of it. Very nice and understanding person.

Radiator doesn’t seem to be leaking and everything drives alright, but the front bumper rail is bent up and the bumper cover is toast. No overheating. I suppose it’s good that I used scrap parts to put it all together.

Thankfully, I have the exact same car at home. Works out okay.

P.S: On said trip, the car managed to go 710km on one tank, through snow, rain, ice and wind. Was pretty happy with that. I need to be more careful.
