I haven't washed the Estoril 2 since I bought in in February. Never really looks dirty. The BMW emblems have all but disappeared from the Orbit Grey wheels, though.

High school me wanted one of these so bad! This was from the cool and "conservative" looks era of Hondas, but I always liked these cars. I've never driven one, but I suppose they're an in-between of a Civic and Accord? It's already over $9k.

Ugh on being in HS in 2001.

I didn't realize these were in production that long. For whatever reason I thought they stopped in the 90s.

This is the last generation of really good looking Hondas, plus 90s Hondas drove really, really well. I'd rock one of these.

Preludes were at one time a nice small package, and for whatever reason were made larger with each generation until nobody wanted them anymore. I'd take a '91 over that one any day. Shame they never made them rwd.

Yeah, the 91s were also very nice. The 92s...were not.
