HCW.com wagon of the month March:
HCW.com Why a Wagon?
Spark Lad Because they're awesome. I needed a lightweight, highly reliable car that could carry all five of my family and our stuff. Of all the cars that could do it, I liked the HCW best.
HCW.com What has inspired your build the most?
Spark Lad I've wanted an electric car since before I could drive. I eventually gave up on waiting for the automakers and built it myself. Whenever I'd hit a snag, I'd visit hondacivicwagon.com and be inspired again by all the neat stuff the forum members do; it's a very inventive, self-reliant community.
HCW.com What is your favorite mod so far?
Spark Lad Well, I've only done the electric conversion and a little bit of rust repair. I'm inordinately proud of the paint, but my favorite mod is still the electric motor. It's just so quiet, smooth, and powerful.
HCW.com Other than yours, which wagon is your favorite and why?
Spark Lad There are a lot of incredible rides on HCW. Wagodizzle's is super clean. I think RevMaynard's "Cream Machine" shows what you can do with a little money and a lot of effort. But I think my favorite is bam-bam's "cnotecivic", because it's a hard-working car and he still keeps it in such fantastic shape!
HCW.com What are your plans for your wagon in the future?
Spark Lad So much to do, so little time. I want a more luxurious ride, but I also want a 1" drop; we'll have to see where that goes. I'm planning to add rear speakers, DA map lights, and a pattern on the headliner. I'd like to try my hand at reupholstering the seats to match. Other than that, I'd like to keep her pretty close to stock. I might upgrade to higher voltage, longer range, or something with regenerative braking someday.
HCW.com If you could have any mod/accessory for your wagon and cost was no object, what would you get?
Spark Lad An AC-150. But they don't sell those to individuals, so I'd better think of something more realistic.I've got some custom graphics in mind, but no way to afford them. If money was no object, I'd get all the bodywork done and apply a full-body wrap.
