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.

(Though I also have a soft spot for South African cars, too.)

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*
