I’m not stuck in time. I’ve embraced dependability.

    My real car is a 97 Honda Prelude, and yes, it is a manual. When my 2012 Civic had a dead starter motor, that Prelude was my daily driver for six months until the weather cooled off enough to actually do the job.

    The Prelude is definitely more of a project/weekend car. Every car guy knows you never project your daily, but I feel pretty comfy dailying my project lol

      Prelude is a sick car. Always fond of them and CRXs. 90s Honda/Nissan,Toyota were something else man.

      RIP couch level comfort.

        I’ve got nothing but love for the Mazda NB Miata and the MX-6. The Subaru SVX was also dope.

        Nissan is easy to glaze because the S13 is probably the most sought out neoclassic car that isn’t the GT-R or Supra, but so much of their other stuff from the time gets overlooked. Like the Sentra SE-R or the Pulsar. The S-Cargo is my favorite because the joke is so layered. It’s a cargo van that looks like a snail, and its name is pronounced escargot.

        It’s so cute, and I love it.

          Thank you for this trivia! Such a cool car!

          The coolest car I ever owned was an 81 VW Rabbit with a naturally aspirated diesel paired with a four speed manual. Was a dream of a vehicle and only broke down on me once.

          I’ll always miss driving a cool retro car but I can’t justify it with my wife’s safety now a concern.
