I swear, if they still made these cars, there would be a market. :) So good to reminisce about beloved cars.

I had a 1978 medium metallic Civic Hatchback about 20 years ago.
It was hard to get in and out of and my left foot would get stuck
in the clutch pedal. It got to the point where the driver’s door wouldn’t
close properly. I’m over 6’4 tall and after all these years it still remains my favorite and
most missed car!

Dude…My mother OWNED this same year/model. 1978 Civic, 1500cc. It was indestructible. The front fenders rotted along the body line so that to open the hood ( reverse style like a Brit roadster) we had to hold the fenders UNDER the hood and slam the hood on it, then get in through the passenger door, cause the drivers door was roped shut. I kid you not, but the thing went like 175k miles! Ours was the same color and everything.
