Honda Civic Si: Towing and Off-Roading

2006 Honda Civic Si -- Brent Romans
Last night, I dreamt that I used our Honda Civic Si to tow a car trailer loaded with a full-size Chevy pickup. I recall being quite excited about the prospect of posting a blog entry concerning this rather amazing feat.

Alas, company policy is such that we can only write about real events, not made up stuff.

In fact, the Civic was idle for much of the weekend...
I had wanted to use it as transportation to central California's Kings Canyon National Park. But one of my desired hiking locations could only be accessed via a dirt road suitable for, as one guide book put it, "passenger cars with good clearance." The Civic Si may have many strengths, but getting all macho on a rutted dirt road is not one of them. A Jeep Grand Cherokee was used, and the Civic stayed home.
