I bought one of those things with four wheels , two doors (three actually), and a built in visor. I think you guys call it a kar (spelling?).

Wouldn't that just be a Le Van?

I wanted something cheap, economical, slightly different, and still fun. This fit the bill. But what really sold me was the interior. It's like a spaceship.

But seriously, I don't have to worry about rushing to get the 86 ready by winter.

I always thought that car would have been a future classic if they had just put a K24 in it instead of going the hybrid route.

The world needs a modern version of the '89 CRX si.

You say that but I think a K24 would have been too much. This 1.5 l with the IMA feels great, I drive my dad's 89 CR-X on a regular basis, and this is really similar.

I was pleasantly surprised, its super slow, but the turn in is fantastic it rotates really well. It was let down by my driving abilities and the tires.

I'm so out of practice.
