Acura, when I’m not driving the Shitmobile :)

this lump of crap wasn’t worth 20 grand when it was new.  CP. 

Dad Talk:   Now is the time for the Delta 88 and Cutlass Ciera to make a return - we need decent high-value-over-time cars that people don’t hate, but aren’t bloated out to the $1000 car payment situation.

that’s the zen of this car - you can absolutely do whatever the hell you want to it and not feel the least bit bad about it.  cheap thrills if you don’t take it too seriously. 

that’s literally the ‘charm’ here. ymmv
