Why would you be disappointed that the BASE Integra is “worse” than a GS-R?

That’s how you end up .4psi out of spec, and we all know where that leads.

Oh, so this is how regular people operate when buying a car.

Yah.

I think we got to see the same car! This was in Odaiba:

I really lucked out and got to see it when they were exercising it around the Venus fort driving route. I was walking on the walkway between Odaiba Megaweb and the Yurikamome line station, and heard something raspy so I looked down to see it being guided around. So I had to take a several minute long video of course.

I frequently bring up the fact that my 1997 Miata M-Edition was a $24,935 car ($41,121 adjusted for inflation), and that wasn’t even the highest possible price (no CD changer, automatic, or detachable hardtop on mine). A 2021 Miata Grand Touring trim is $32,765.

The data showed an average monthly payment of nearly $600 for new cars — a 25% increase in the past decade

God I love this car, and it’s responsible for my hottest take: it’s a better looking E-Type.

Credit scores gotta be one of the biggest crocks of shit ever.

money is pretty free these days if you qualify for the zero or near zero rates, but there’s peace of mind in not owing people.  i owe on my mortgage but that’s it, no auto finance companies, no credit card companies and no monthly-rent-a-tv-companies.  that feel pretty good, even though it may cost me a couple of

I saw one of these in person in Tokyo at the VenusFort mall (it’s actually being closed this year and that area of Odaiba will be redeveloped, which is a shame.). Most interesting is that it is actually a left-hand drive example that appears to have been imported to Japan at some point. That’s not uncommon with older

Yamaha is my favorite motorcycle/grand piano company.

There was a period in time I could realistically aspire to owning of these...its been a while since that was the case.

Beautiful! why would someone paint it white when it probably look great in red? they had the money I guess.

That might be worth it

I would do anything to drive one of these. I suspect sawing off my own head just to fit is one of those things.

You want to point to a styling masterpiece that the Japanese can swell with pride over, this is it.  Period.
