Default My "rental car" while the daily is getting repaired - JDM Classic

My Genesis is in the body shop and while its being repaired I am getting to drive this little gem. It does take me back to my younger years and the simplicity of the interior is really growing on me.
Well built, fun to drive cars. I am test driving it and determining if I want to purchase it. It's very rare to find one in this condition, bone stock, with a clean title. Only 100k miles.

I had a lovely collision with a deer. I've got bad luck lately.

if you don't purchase, slide the owner to the ITR this way...i've been on the hunt for a clean PY with minimal mods, I almost bought a bone stock EM SiR with 40k miles a few weeks back because the ITR was becoming almost impossible...as you well know

Unmodified=No A/C or Cruise? That's what kept me from buying one new. Fantastic car otherwise.

You probably already know this, Josh, but I can tell you that, from what I've seen, Integras of that vintage were extremely well-built...with excellent-quality hardware. Every one I knew who owned one had good luck. An ex co-worker (who has since passed away), had a 3Gen Integra with 200K on the clock that ran and operated virtually like new. (I sometimes drove him home from Friday night dinners as a designated driver LOL)

I really enjoyed driving one when my friend still had his. It's quite fun to throw around the corners and the engine sounds beautiful! The A-pillars are small so your view is excellent. Good old Acura days...

Always been a fan of those. A shame new cars get bigger and bigger with more and more gadgets. Self driving machines.

Any pictures of the damages and the deer?

Speaking of early fun to drive Acuras, this is my all original 1992 red beauty with 25K miles
