Jason, what kind of car is in the illustration? I seriously want one!

I really can’t agree with this. I had an FRS with TRD suspension and wheels, and was lucky enough to own a ‘99 Civic Si, ‘89 CRX Si and a JDM Prelude. The FRS May have posted better numbers but never had that extremely light feel and immediate response the older Hondas had.

Good luck on the build and sorry to point this out but Alejandro De Tomaso beat you with the Mangusta, designed to beat the Cobra. Looking forward to the updates.

I have a gauge like that in my M2 and regularly hit 350 hp while driving to work. Admittedly I drive to work in Florida every day and drive like a typical Florida douche.

Spot on, David. I couldn’t agree more. The NSG 370 in my Wrangler is perfect as is. It practically finishes the shifts for you and with those long throws it’s just about impossible to miss a shift or select the wrong gear. It completely suits the personality of a JK. I’ve had an S2000 and think its shifter is perfect…

Now just picture this scene completely filled with smoke and you’re there.

They were invented for a SAAB engineer who had back pain. I agree, once you have them it’s tough to live without them.

Miami suburbs here, I use them when it’s below 75.

My ‘88 Prelude, 89 CRX and 99 Civic Si we’re all more fun than the two S2000’s that I’ve owned. Doubtful faster but definitely more fun. That said, my current ride is RWD, manual and V8!

Good article on the New Car but crappy research on the history, it was released in 1964 as a 1965 model, was brilliant for six years, ok for the next three, totally sucked the following four then started to become awesome again in 1979.

Please just tell me that there will be a bunch of your typical articles about this bike. You’re by far the best writer on Jalopnik and your articles are always great to read.

They’re pretty far west. Flooding won’t be a problem there but wind will.

Last time I was there I saw at least two 918's, a Carrera GT, an IROC 911 from the Jerry Seinfeld collection, multiple GT3 RS’s and many classics. That estimate may be close.

A cool fact about this Prelude is that it was designed to look like it doesn’t have an engine. The designers wanted a low cowl and a sloping hood and the engineers obliged by making a new engine to fit.

And yet he totally missed this Florida man

Or you could double that for an older one

I’ve rented from Barlow’s several times and have always had a great experience. The jeeps are perfect for the trails and set up well. When Nena goes over the trail map and points out the “blue sky in the windshield” sections you know you’re in for a great time.

My ‘88 Prelude JDM coupe had one, they weren’t available on US models.

Is this your 2018 Moab ride?
