The bumper holds the ice/beers and doubles as a platform for babes to sit on when they inevitably come to take pictures with it.

It's like an uglier and less reliable Honda Del Sol. Tempting.

When I bought the S10, I mentioned to Michele that it was similar to my first truck in high school. So of course she then wanted her first car...a 95 Civic Green with tan interior :manuel:

That got me down the rabbit hole of Civics, and I rediscovered Del Sols. I worked with a dude that had a track modded AF Del Sol and we went to Laguna Seca together a number of times. He loved my 951, so we'd swap cars for a session during each day. That Del Sol was an absolute riot. He got a lot of shit for building a Del Sol, but I got it after driving it. I still preferred my RWD 951, but those Civics could be made to be the pinnacle of FWD handling IMO.

Honda reliability and fun to drive from the era, targa top, light, relatively cheap, it seems like it could be a fun extra car. They're on the list of fly and drive vehicles for us now.

Yep, they are cool AF. My '97 Civic was basically the same thing as Infamous's and the Del Sol, they all had double wish boners at all four corners and weighed in at like 2200 pounds. I was a dumb high schooler/college student, but man I had a lot of fun with the Civic.

Del Sols don't seem to be. I'm not sure people even remember them.

There's a Del Sol that shows up at C&C here with the power Targa roof. Super neat.

I too prefer the E39 but both are gorgeous.

The 5 series still looks really good.

It's not really my kinda thing, the 3 series is still a bit too 'executive' and refined for me, but they're quite nice vehicles. The 3 series looks great currently as well other than the front grill on the M models.
