alas my car is dead (second one to bite the dust), so i'm still looking into either a cheap sedan that i can get for a couple grand, or just bite the bullet and buy an AWD SUV... but with my son due in about two weeks, i think i'm going to just hold off on everything for a bit.

1996 Acura Integra Sedan. First car I ever truly love.

Lowered and has a bigger exhaust tip. All done by the previous owner, though I think it was done pretty tastefully. Sounds pretty nice, I think. Everything works. Recently got the correct OEM floormats to complement the interior.

I love it.

Honestly, that is the only Integra i would purchase if i could find one. A hardtop four door (as dumb as that sounds) because it's fast enough to pull out into traffic, carries the kids, blind spots aren't ridiculous and there's head room. When i owned my GSR everyone thought it was awesome while i couldn't wait for something evil to happen to it (thank goodness it did, and thankfully it wasn't my fault). I would have traded my GSR for your four door anyday, you have quite a find there.

Thanks. I love this car so much. It's pretty agile and has room to fit people too. Only thing is that it's an RS (Integra base model), and it's automatic. I would like to stick a Type R engine in there or something, or at least swap out the transmission if it's doable, but it's all dreams for now until I have the money for it.

New wheels would be nice, don't you think? I want the stock late model GSR blade wheels. Actually, I really want the Type R wheels, but Type R has a five point bolt pattern. Regular Integra have four points.

But yeah, I intend to keep this car, even after I get a new one.

'99 Grand Prix GTP. (with brand new supercharger drive belt)

All my "when it was new and shiny" pics were taken with a 35mm, so I don't really have any to post. And I'm NOT going to post my recent "scratches from gravel avoiding a head-on collision with a deer" pics...

Yeah, the best mod is DON'T. C'mon man, it's a freaking econo box. Spend your money elsewhere.

I have two cars, an '86 RX7 and a '92 Civic 4door.

just funnin' with y'all. My LeBaron's fated to die at the local 1/2 mile short track in a few months once I have the Yaris....

My ex left me because I drive a charcoal '89 Celica ST. She wanted me to buy new but I'm like, "Baby, you knew I loved old Toyotas before we started dating. I mean, you didn't complain about my '89 Corolla DX and it had over 289,000 miles on it and looked like it'd been through Gulf War I and Gulf War II!"

She thought I'd consider upgrading after driving the Rolla into the ground but was disappointed when I showed up one night with my Celica. Best $800 I ever spent, I tells ya. Then she's all like, "Dammit. It's either me or your damned Toyotas!"

Suffice it to say, we don't date anymore. But I love and miss her and I left her a note on her car last week.

And below is what paid for it.  Can't put car seats into a '65.

I love me some S4 as much as the next guy, but to tell you the truth, I think I would've kept the Fastback.

A7 - I like your ride.  I remember making a low comment about new Mustangs and I apologize.

385240[/snapback]

Hey, that's cool. It's too bad you had to give up your '65. I guess it couldn't be helped, given that family comes first.

One of these days, when I finally pay off my Mustang and earn enough money, I'll go take up car restoration as a hobby and pick up an old Mustang.

1984 Fiero 85K miles, fresh black paint and 5 stars. Excellent shape, but someday to become the donor for a kitcar hopefully....

1994 Toyota 'Rolla (daily driver)

1995 Beretta w/Z package (wife's car)

1987 Civic (winter car - road salt is a killer in Vermont)

1988 S-10 Blazer (wife's winter car)

1986 GSXR 1100 bought almost new. Custom paint / powder coat, K&N jet kit, Yoshi race pipe

Man, I need to update my fleet, but I get a sentimental attachment to them. The newest addition... Piper Cherokee 180!!!! Okay, it's not technically an automobile, but still a mode of transportation that will hold its value, and is more fun than a car.
