Yeah, I was just trying to make a reference about his nickname ;). I didn't know if he had both cars.

Maybe I should bring out my '08 SI :Q

You have an 08 Civic Si? oO

I am looking to get one, but I am hesitent because of the fabric used on the seats and such.

I am also wondering how a Mazdaspeed3 would do in an autocross event. I may have to go try to find one to run with my Neon first just to get a feel for what it's like :)

Yes I do, what worries you about the fabric on the seats? I cant wait for dry/warm weather. Summer tires arent too good in snow.

Fixed...rain has no bearing on summer tires

Yeah, I couldn't believe how much my wet traction improved when I went from cheapo all-seasons to decent summer tires. I can't drive *quite* as quickly in the rain as I can when it's completely dry, but certainly well above any sane speed.
