w00t! 95 GS-R brings me to the club...

edit: ---- Oooh... I just realized I didn't check around this site too much for whether or not it was just Hondas... hope not. Anyway, back to our regular broadcast----

I'm pretty amazed at the size and ferocity of the internet community devoted to Acura and Honda cars. Here's a little of my background:
I've always been an "American Muscle" kind o' guy. Back around when the Integra I just bought was brand new, I had a '67 Mustang- all go, and absolutely no show. Not to say that it wasn't nice looking, but how to phrase this- it was 30 years old. A real street terror. Ran mid-thirteens, got around 8(!) miles per gallon. Turned heads and sounded fantastic. To this day, I liked the way that car sounded better than any other I've seen. But I digress.

I'm going to get into some rough water here- the following paragraph may portray me as incredibly ignorant(among other things). When I saw the previews for "The Fast and the Furious", all I could think of was "WTF?!?!?!!?". I based my reaction on plot- being older than 13, I couldn't really relate. But- the important thing that I got when I actually watched that movie was how much can be pulled from the "silly little imports" that I had previously scoffed at. "Harry, I need NOS" might be the most stupid thing I've ever heard anyone say. I wanted a turbo Supra- but wow, they're still in the $30-40k range... no thanks.

Anyways, it's about a year later, and I found and purchased an immaculate '95 GSR with 73k miles. I've had it for three weeks. The windows will be tinted to 50%vlt on the door windows and 5%vlt on the rear three next week. I picked up some clear bumper lenses, with amber lights, and I bought a bra for it too. Not sure I like the way the bra attaches in the fenderwells, but here are way too many bugs on the way to and from work.

I don't know what else to call the car other than superb. I've got big plans for it, the least of which involves a Jackson Racing supercharger. I haven't decided if I want to keep the car looking "sleeper-ific" or if I'll do suspension, rolling-stock, and exhaust mods. Time will tell. Whee! I love my new used car!

Happy Motoring!!!
