On hondacivicwagon.com we started a ''wagon'' of the month. Each one is voted for by a guideline. ''Most improved'', and so on. This is a friend from south GA/SC area who won the first one we've done. (Pics of the jrsc were when it was during install.)

HCW.com-why a wagon?
wagodizzle-The first car that i remember my family owning was a HCW. It was a bronze 2WD. We owned it for 14 years, and ended up putting around 230K miles into it before the body just literally fell apart (thanks to Michigan winter salt). It was our only car until 2001 when we ended up getting an Odyssey. I had a lot of fond memories in that car and always liked the fact on how unique it was. When I was old enough to start looking for my own car to buy, I ended up googling HCW and came upon this site (well, the old ezboard site). When i saw some of the cars on there I decided this was the car for me. I went through an '89 Hatchback and a '90 Integra before I finally got enough patience to find a HCW. Took me 5 months, but it has been my favorite out of my three cars, and the longest I've owned a car. I definitely plan on keeping this for years to come.
HCW.com-what has inspired your build the most?
wagodizzle-Honestly, I'm not quite sure how it started. It had to do with this site for sure, seeing other people out there building there cars. JDM seemed to be the "big thang" so i decided to stray a bit different then that, and go EDM (seeing as I'm European, it made sense lol). But now it seems everyone and their moms are going EDM too so whatever haha. But anyhow, that was/is a big thing with what my goals were/are. Again, if it wasn't for this site i would have not done anything, or probably not even get a wagon.
HCW.com-what is your favorite mod so far?
wagodizzle-Favorite mod? Oh lord... not really sure, seeing as i have a ton of little random ass stuff, haha. I would have to battle it out between either my rear horn or JRSC lol.
HCW.com-other than yours, which wagon is your favorite and why?
wagodizzle-Another tough question... I don't think i have ONE favorite wagon. I like a bunch of different ones for different reasons. I really like Billboards wagon, just because of what it is i guess lol. I really like B18C5 amazingly clean and tasteful wagon. And of course its hard not to like NJ1s ride. Dunno really..
HCW.com-what are your plans for your wagon in the future?
wagodizzle-Future plans would be to continue my mad EDM hunt, which means roof rack and full interior conversion. I currently have a blue interior, which i hope to eventually change to gray and get some EDM door panels and seats all in there (crazy, i know..). Performance wise, i plan on getting more suspension components, and a SOHC VTEC ZC engine. Also needs to get to body work eventually, I was entertaining the idea of welding in some VW fender flairs to get some even wider wheels... we'll see. But mainly need to lose the rust, and dents, and get a full body re-spray.
HCW.com-if you could have any mod/accessory for your wagon and cost was no object, what would you get?
wagodizzle-Hmm, prolly a K20Z3 engine with 6-speed tranny and all the above mentioned body work haha.
