Two seperate things, the NSX as seen on Pulp Fiction wowed but I had no intention of owning an Acura until someone was selling a lowered 4-door 2G Integra painted gold/bronze with nice rims, exhaust, dark tints and a lip spoiler. It looked classy for a suped up pop can. Unfortunately I couldn't buy it because the engine was totally fucked up. I bought a different Integra but it didn't compare to the one that had turned me on to the car in the first place.

Exactly how many times was the Integra tinted for it to have "tints"?

Calling it a Legend was prophecy. Making it a coupe was genius.

i was never really into honda's as a kid.. grew up watching shows like trucks and horsepower tv.. so i was always into american muscle and still am today. honda's styling has gone down the shitter since that new civic came out..

I used to have the original Need for Speed SE for PC as a kid. I would always drive the silver NSX. For some reason I loved that car, and I still do to this day. When I was thirteen I really loved the 6th gen Accord Coupe. At sixteen, I wanted a Civic but I couldn't afford one. But I did eventually get my Accord. When the 3rd gen TL came out, I realized I had to have that car. When my Accord quits, I plan on getting one.

1st gen TSX still my favorite from that lineup. And even within that, the model from the first couple years.

CL-S for one, the car looks great. I remember asking my mom why she had a 2G TL instead of a 3G when they first came out, that car I loved from the first time I had seen one.
