Ho-ly Crap

Sign me the F- up. My local fire department will loan me the jaws-of-life tool, so I can cut the roof off. After that, well...

No seriously, very cool. Too bad it wasn't production. That Honda Beat that MetroMPG was talking about sounds cool -- mid-engine, RWD roadster -- but impossible to license in the U.S. Oh, what to do. The Integra and me will probably share a bond for a few years. I just need to get it up to decent marks in the fuel econ category.

Honestly, I'd be happy to have my '99 Si back. The same guy who had the CRX that blew up, just bought a black Civic Si just like my old one. Lucky dog. I could rig up a selectable cold/hot air intake to get power when "necessary" and econ when I don't. I averaged 25 mpg, which wasn't bad for a pocket rocket. So much fun on the autocross circuit -- some guy in an MX-3 V-6 would always beat the crap out of me in my class, but I didn't care. It was fun, I learned a lot, and besides I couldn't afford race tires. Good times...
