Graduated high school and right before college I bought a used 2018 civic si coupe in red since I really loved the civic hatch my parents bought a bit ago. I have not kept up with payments too well since I was always out working and once I was done I went out, raced It and bought mods. had little over 20k on the odometer and It was on TSP with a sri, downpipe, frontpipe, bov and a stock clutch. I did not baby the car like I said before I abused it and went up to 145mph, sometimes north of 150. Doing tons of pulls past 100, one pull the porcelain from the sparkplug in cylinder 1 blew out and cracked my piston and cylinder block. The biggest thump I've ever heard but it still ran. I tuned the car back to stock and gave it back to the dealer. I told them after running the car really hard I heard a loud thump and the car was not running well. I might of blew my motor because during idle it was revving up and down for loosing so much compression. They asked me questions, saw the oil leak and excessive brake dust. Parents were not happy and the manage gave me an ass whooping too " You are young and dumb and you blew up the damn thing. At least you're lucky to be alive.". We have good relations with this dealer since my family and I have always bought vehicles there and were friendly to service. Covered the whole thing. I don't have the si anymore as I would not be responsible with it. But I still continue to use the regular cvt hatchback my parents have as a daily to college. Wish I still had the photo of the cracked piston, pulled motor and the horrible sound the engine made from the cracked cylinder block but, this was all I could find.
You guys can roast or give me your opinions and thoughts. I know I am dumb and don't deserve my own car for awhile but at least I can still learn. Maybe once I am out of college and financially free enough I can buy another car and not make the same bad decisions as before.
