Default Stupid question
Some of you may see this as a stupid question and I have tried searching the interenet for the answer.


Anyone happen to know the towing capacity of a 90 Civic Hatch?

Want to know if it will tow a ski i might be picking up

Is it a dual-point(2 injectors) if so, that thing is gonna be dog piss slow. Good luck pulling it out of the water. Lol.

My buddys civic ex(95) came with a hidden trailor hitch. If you don't care about the car, then do it.

I'd be nervous backing that ski down a ramp with that Civic.

Just buy my Durango...problem solved.
