Yeah the MKIII I had was MT... I tell ya, it was nearly impossible to lug that engine... even if you shifted way too early, the car still had go! no matter what speed, what gear...

I finally saw a Tesla on the road about a month back when I was in DC.... but didn't snap any pics, saw an red NSX this morning, more rare around here nowadays, but back in the days I used to see them all over the place... :(

Oh and that Acura/Isuzu Trooper.... one of my co-workers had one... luxury edition, gold emblems, leather seats, sunroof, etc... never knew it was a Rodeo, although I knew about the Passport/Rodeo connection...

Yes they are civic coupe rear lights. Rear looks awesome, I can't say the front does though.

This believe it or not is a DIY car. You pay big bucks I think it's like 60,000-70,000 dollars and go to texas and you build the car from a parts kit and knowledge the company supplies.

They give you space in their "factory" and you can bring helpers to help out and pick and pull your choice of engines, trans, and suspension parts from their "stock room". Most of them are a healthy New Gen Chevy V-8 all the way up to the factory supercharged one.

You can also get it partially built by the "factory" then go in stages yourself depending on what you want to DIY and pay for.

Sorry forget the name but it was on a Car TV show awhile back.
