The six best/worst words in the English language: “Bro, keep it at my house.”
A good friend regularly eggs me on to buy something new. My reality: I’m happy with what’s in the garage. And that garage is full thanks to a Miata, M3 and 911. Our Civic Si lives in the driveway.…

I'm growing increasingly interested in Brazilian market cars. There's something so familiar, yet very different about them.

In reply to Colin Wood :
I hear you on the Brazilian cars. That Chevy was cool. When a friend shared similar sentiments about that partcular car on FB, I knew it wasn’t just me.
And I sat in that Type R for a looooooong time. I do miss our wishbone Hondas. They were truly awesome cars: fun, reliable and competitive autocrossers.
A Civic Type R would be like the holy grail. But what’s a fair price to turn back the clock?
Feel you on the type R. When it was time to get a "cool" car I crossshopped the 996, 997, NC Miata and NA1 NSX.
I went for the NSX but I have a kiddo now and love snowboarding. The lack of a backseat and ability to attach a bike/snowboard rack has me wondering if the Integra type R would have been a better fit for "future" me.
Fun fact-the NSX has a latch system so you can still setup a front facing child seat seat.

Yes, once upon a time when a Pantera was just a strange car that hit bottom value wise I actually entertained the idea of buying one as a second car. But realizing I did not have a place to store it or knew anything about the care and feeding of it made me pause. Same thing for Porsche 911s. *sigh*
