  1. The fact that you drive such extremely exotic amazing cars and are so excited about this speaks volumes about the Civic SI. - S2000 and Civic SI owner in Medford

  2. Never thought I’d see the day when Accords came stock with 19” wheels. I feel old. 😂
    39
  3. That seems like a thing that’s entirely in your head
    28
  4. On the topic of making the cop feel safe, one great tip I got was to keep your hands at ten and two on the wheel as you talk to the cop. Cops are trained to always watch your hands, so this puts them at ease.

  5. 14 year old me wanted one of these so bad… then a Marauder 😂. Ended up with a black Grand Marquis Handling Package as my first car
    17
  6. Haha yes they’re Terrible, especially in mass. I live right in the area he’s driving through
    14
  7. Love that color! I hope the new Type R comes in it! Also, amazing how much better Washington roads are than Massachusetts 😂
    9
  8. Good to know even a Bentley door sounds cheap when you close it if it’s a convertible 😂
    8
  9. 💯. Soulless appliances
    6
  10. Would be curious what a different experience this would've been with all seasons! My SI is pretty hairy in snow with my all-seasons.. 😂 . Slid into a curb in Melrose last winter in a freak snow storm in Melrose (I'm also in Mass)
    6
  11. Such straight roads out there...what a pity! S2K is all about the curves! Every time another one of these videos comes out the value of my S2000 goes up a bit... love it 😂
    6
  12. Literally
    6
  13. He did the same in an S2000. Legend
    5
  14. Same here. I ride the roads he’s driving on often, they’re the most popular cycling roads outside of Boston.
    5
  15. Oh my god what a devastatingly beautiful car. You’re so lucky to get to drive such classics! My dad had one just like this in the 60s but sadly didn’t hang onto it.
    5
  16. he literally says 3 seconds into it lmao
    5
  17. You’ve got courage driving that through the awful streets of Woburn and Boston! I hate just taking my S2K into Boston.

  18.  @alexp6409  thinking I will. Just did all new sway bar bushings end links and struts/shocks. 97k and still runs like new.
    4
  19. Good to know that you’re trading it in. I’m three miles away from McGovern… so tempted. My 08 SI is showing its age.
    4
  20. I drive and bike these roads all the time… one time I’ll see you! (Laguna blue S2000)
    4
  21. This is the first Civic that has made me consider trading in my 8th gen SI!
    3
  22. That ramp from 2 East to 128 NB is one of my favorite… love how to tightens mid way. I always push my S2000 hard in it :)
    3
  23. I agree, I think it’s cold clinical and soulless
    3
  24. Just wondering how different the handling is between them? I care more about that than speed.. thinking the SI may be the better option
    3
  25. Such a good point about entropy… the universe doesn’t want us to have nice things. It’s a constant battle. And yes Mass has the worst roads on the planet!
    3
  26. I’m still daily driving My 2008 Si.. not a single thing has broken
    3
  27. Love that you’re doing some drives up in NH now! They take such better care of the roads than here in mass.
    3
  28. Haha I had the same thought
    3
  29. Good eye lol
    3
  30. Wow weird to see a video like this then realize all the roads are my neighborhood !
    2
  31. Love my civic SI on the storrow corners
    2
  32. This summer in New England has been awful! I keep wanting to take my S2k out!
    2
  33. What was that first Mountain pass? Almost looked like Brandon Gap. Never ceases to amaze me how much better Vermont takes care of their roads than Mass.
    2
  34. How would you stack up the handling against the 8th gen SI?
    2
  35. Wow, a video with the Topher! Never thought I’d see his face 😂
    2
  36. I’m 6’2 and I fit in fine
    2
  37. I got caught in my 8th gen SI in the storm Sunday night — the roads were completely untreated! Slid sideways down a hill and two other cars slid into me, luckily extremely minor damage… got very lucky overall.
    2
  38. Beautiful color!
    2
  39. If sounds awful lol
    2
  40. Between the pothole-filled roads and NPCs in SUVs, I've sort of given up on trying to enjoy my S2000 in Mass. I've never seen the roads in worse condition in my 40 years in this state. I will say, however, that some of the best driving roads in Mass are around the Quabbin. I actually recognized a couple you were on!
    2
  41. lol in the Boston area they’re year round
    2
  42. Love that area. Carlsbad is wonderful too. Hard not to be happy around there!
    2
  43. I have an AP2.. would not want to give up the torque
    2
  44. Guess I’ll stick with my 8th gen SI :). Not a single problem in 14 years.
    2
  45. Great tour of how absolutely horrid Massachusetts roads are 😂
    2
  46. Lol my S2000 is about 4K RPM at 70mph..
    2
  47. So envious! Congrats! You might have the first new Type R in Mass!
    2
  48. I own both!
    1
  49. Can’t think of a more proper town to drive a classic British sports car through than Lincoln. :)
    1
  50. I live in Medford. Boston roads are atrocious.. I always assumed an Aston would be hellish on our roads ! My s2000 beats me up
    1
  51. Omg I’m ten min away from Waltham. I need to go look at their Jags! I adore that color!
    1
  52. Definitely driving the S2000 less often now with $5.50 /gallon premium 🤢
    1
  53. That color is really growing on me. I’ll buy your civic when you want to trade up! I totally appreciate what you mean about not being afraid to drive the car at 9/10ths. I think this is why I don’t enjoy my S2000 as much as I thought i would. It’s too hairy and scary past 7/10ths
    1
  54. Love the story; a car is so much more than a car.
    1
  55. My trusty 2008 Civic SI coupe is still going strong! My daily for 15 years.
    1
  56.  @DigitalBliss69  I drove one for a day. Hated it
    1
  57.  @DigitalBliss69  interesting… it just felt too heavy to me and I couldn’t get past the dash layout.. b then again my weekend car is a S2000 so I’m sort of a Luddite when it comes to tech in cars :)
    1
  58. I went to the one in Alabama. Was awesome! Nothing like driving a 911 GTS flat out on a track!
    1
  59.  @vvarioPL oh weird I went to the one in Birmingham and we went flat out
    1
  60. Hahaha yeah. Rich town with terrible roads.
    1
  61. Gotta love how crappy the pavement on route 28 through Stoneham is
    1
  62. Looks a million times better than any Tesla.
    1
  63. Boston. Worst roads on planet earth
    1
  64. I’m old enough to remember when 7 sec 0-60 was fast.. now it’s slow enough that you have to plan ahead 😂
    1
  65. Yep. GM in the 70s and 80s was dreadful
    1
  66. The roads in Massachusetts are absolutely criminal. So horrific. Worst roads in the country by a huge margin.
    1
  67. No railroad crossings like that in Lexington. I think it was grafton mendon or upton
    1
  68.  @grownsimba8120  some fantastic driving roads in Lincoln, concord, Carlisle, Wilmington, and North Andover. Check out ash st in North Andover. Twistiest road inside of 495
    1
  69. And chestnut st Wilmington
    1
  70. Same!
    1
  71.  Leonardo Santuario  lol… why’s that
    1
  72. How would you compare it to an S2000?
    1
  73. Finally get to see Tedwards face! 😂
    1
  74. Mass doesn’t maintain the roads, but yet we spend the most of any state per mile
    1
  75. What a pity you had to subject that work of art to Massachusetts roads 😂
    1
  76. Wow love the vanity plate!
    1
  77. Crazy how finicky these old bmws are! All I could think of was how much the must’ve cost..
    1
  78. How the heck does someone get this opportunity?! Incredible!
    1
  79. More fun to drive than an S2000? Trying to find a way to justify keeping my S2000 and getting one of these 😂
    1
  80. State Police license plate ?
    1
  81. Massachusetts has the worst roads in the nation. NH has much more severe winters and yet their roads are vastly superior.
    1
  82. lol in Massachusetts? No way
    1
  83. New job, new relationship, move to a place that doesn’t make me miserable (ie away from Boston)
    1
  84. How slow does your Type R feel after driving this beast? Lol
    1
  85. 39 mpg! You're making me want to upgrade from my 8th gen Civic SI. I'm lucky if i get 32 on the highway.
    1
  86. Nothing like getting a $250k super car covered in road salt
    1
  87. 8k miles a year cyclist and a car lover (s2000) here too.. I’ve always wondered why we all just can’t get along!
    1
  88. So glad I bought one last year! :)
    1
  89. Really sounds like a VTEC engine! So funny you’re driving on all the roads I drive on too! I’m in Medford.
    1
  90. I posted the comment too soon haha.
    1
  91. Why do they have to make EVs so ugly ?
    1
  92. Is it just me or does Tedward sound a little buzzed at the beginning? 😂 Maybe it’s the altitude lol. Fun video!
    1
  93. This sounds so much better than the turbo GT2 !
    1
  94. One of my favorite motoring experiences was the week I Turo’d a 2019 Miata RF in LA. What a blast to drive in the mountains!
    1
  95. So surreal to see you drive by my street!
    1
  96. Mulholland and Encinal Canyon! Just drove those roads today in my rental Mx5. So much better than Massachusetts:)
    1
  97. Lol the engine is more than FOUR times larger than my S2000
    1
  98. You have the best job ever !
    1
  99. I hate how the bridges are always in such bad condition in mass! Super annoying.. they pave them last
    1
  100. Hahaha I had the same thought. I’m in Medford
    1
  101. Wish I had one of these for my commute over the terrible roads in Medford and Somerville 😂
    1
  102. Mt Palomar! I biked it. Beautiful area.
    1
  103. Absolutely LOVE that color combo!
    1
  104. Was hoping to hear the dialog with the cop lol.. looks like the Mendon/Milford area?
    1
  105. Pittsburgh looks nice. Much better roads than Boston area!
    1
  106. Cool video! I store my S2000 all winter. Don’t want any salt on her!
    1
  107. Those roads like amazing! So much better than the potholed messes we have to deal with in Massachusetts.
    1
  108. I swear Murano drivers are some Of the worst on the road
    1
  109. I’m 39 and I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s probably queiter than my 8th gen SI. I’d own one in a heartbeat if I could get myself to spend that much on a depreciating hunk of metal
    1
  110. Looks really over damped. That ride would be awful on the street. Is this +R mode?
    1
  111. Massachusetts… worst roads in the world
    1
  112. My god. What a beautiful car. Adore that color!
    1
  113. Fellow mass guy here! The land of potholes and a holes 😂
