The gist is that his pregnant girlfriend was having severe abdominal pains and Gus brushed it off and wouldn't take her to an ER. She miscarried and he got canceled. This happened back in like 2021.

Reading this post almost felt like reading a story about losing a loved one. If you have the money and space, I would be the influence urging you to get another one and reconnect with that feeling.

I had a 10th gen civic and loved it. Had I had more money a handful of years ago, I would have done a few upgrades to it.

If you have the 1.5L turbo engine that came on everything but the base model, you could upgrade the turbo and get a tune. That should put a bit more zip into it.

If you have the base model 2.0L, installing a turbo and all of the supporting mods on an NA vehicle is more expensive, time consuming, and frustrating for a first-timer. However, you could install an E85 kit to squeeze a bit more power out of it. Pair it with a tune and I bet you could get a bit past the 200hp mark.

These could be cheaper options than getting a similar car in a sport trim. However, I understand that modifying your daily driver can seem risky as well. If you're mechanically inclined and feeling adventurous, I would encourage you to take a look at what upgrades can be done to your current car.

A ball joint separator and an afternoon of work could have saved you $900
