...if he can afford to get it insured that is.

Some of you may have caught this image in my garage thread about what happened to his '95 Geo Metro:


That car is now in their garage with the entire front left suspension removed so that his dad can attempt to reconstruct that area.

Anyways, someone decided that it would be a good idea for him (18yrs old btw) to get a car with half the doors and double the power. Apparently one ticket and its getting sold, so he may not have it long :P.... Then again, as I said above, its going to be interesting just getting it insured in the first place.

cool. It's certainly a rocket compared to the Geo, but a 12-year-old 4-cylinder car should be perfectly safe for the average 18-year-old. Besides, you can get in trouble in anything with wheels and a motor if you tried hard enough.

That looks clean.  I doubt I would have been able to get insured on that at 18, so good for him.

I think you should take that black thing off the front of your car, though.

I only put it back on recently because my hood and windshield have been getting nailed by seemingly every little piece of debris on the road.

It will come off again before winter really sets in.

Its not opaque black btw, its a translucent brownish... I was using a polarizer for those pictures so its appearance was affected as well.

I like Integra coupes.  Funny though, I do believe I find the RSX nicer looking.

I loved my Integra, but I'm not as fond of the newer ones. I had a '92, which I thought looked better from the front.

Nice car, but I like the post facelift ones ('97+ I believe).

Nice! I like the old Integra. It was only available as a 200hp Type R here that was really fast. Unfortunately it's not affordable for a young guy like me here (insurance would kill me...)!
