Sigh.

Yes.

Also Integras. But probably not Probe GTs.

oh yeah, integra Type-r which is already appreciating. That is kind of in-between the rally cars and the Japanese super cars years wise.

And we come full circle to the beginning of this thread:

If not for the manual windows and no a/c, hmm... Interior pics look newer and cleaner than the ones I had when they were new. Outside of blemish on the bumper below the diver side headlight, the exterior looks fantastic, too (save the unfortunate two-tone color combo)

That car went for $11.5. New, MSRP was $12.1 for a base '87 GT and that car had no more than $400 of options. That's about $26k in today's dollars.

About 50-60% of the homes in my development have some sort of golf cart. Folks on the lake use them to get down to their docks, and others (like me) who aren't lakefront use them to go between house and two community docks.

Let me be clear, I don't want one. I enjoy walking to the water or dock.

that said, this would be cool to putt around the neighborhood with http://bringatrailer.com/listing/194...oad-prototype/

A few of my neighbors have golf carts or GEMs used to drive to the community center or to one of the golf courses nearby. One of the GEMs was just for sale -- I guess it sold, since its no longer in their driveway...

The GEMs by the way are allowed to be registered in AZ as a "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle". They have a motorcycle license plate, and can be driven on city streets, although they have a top speed of 25MPH, so I wouldn't want to take one outside the neighborhood!
