Default Picked up a new toy today!

I've been looking for a decent car for a few weeks to be a daily driver and eventually a dedicated autocross/track car. I want to save some of the wear and tear on the S and user her more for Dragon trips and such. Well, I picked up an '89 CRX si tonight in Asheville. Within an hour of picking it up I was talking to a very nice NC Highway Patrol officer on the side of Hwy 25 as I was heading home. Luckily it was because I didn't have a license plate on the car instead of about 15mph over the posted speed limit.

Awesome...

My first car was a 1990 CRX Si (white). My brother and I loved that car and we were sorry to see it go. I would have kept it but at the time it wouldn't start and my parents wanted it out of there driveway. I had no reasonable way to get it from MD to SC.

LOVED it!

Cool, another fun ride. Looks like someone is afraid it may try to escape the way it is surrounded.
