*You have phobias of taking the car out on hot days. (Overheating!) haha
*It seems you need to use the high beams as low beams.
*When your gearbox goes “weet-bix crunch” everytime you change to 3rd (Atleast for me) haha
*After you plant it, you take a whiff and think to yourself, “whats that smell?” (Petrol)
When you use the gap between the seat and hand brake as a cup holder…lol…very true story my friends…
“Where is the cup holder?”
“Right here…”
“Where…?”
grabs the cup and place it between the e-brake and seat
when the mysterious rattle you’ve had since you’ve owned the car takes away from its clean appearance. Not to mention when you go over bumps when the car’s cold, the stock suspension creaks like crazy.
When people, especially teenagers turn their heads when you pass cause the car’s so clean. (doesnt apply to all G2s. 
)
you find a lot of the flaps on the air vents broken.
when you have to dislocate your arm in three places in order to remove the oil filter while the cars on jack stands.:bang:
this has def been said, but when getting out of the car, you instictively pull the inside door handle and press the lock button so both the driver side and pass side locks will actually lock. Idk i do it every time
i do it 
I’ve been calling that the “Honda trick” for the past 7 years 
You know you drive a G2 when your friends take a ride in your beat up crappy looking car and still get a kick out of the power, handling and the interior. Gave a friend a ride awhile back, and he loves my car, I think I just brought someone else to the G2 side…:rockon: And, for those haters that want to close this thread, yes, alot of what has been said may not be G2 only, but come on, it is funny to see how we each have, or don’t have, issues with our cars, be it a G2 or not. And BacardiBreezer, your not the only one that has hit their elbow on the button for the e-brake, I have done it getting in to the car, the things I hit most when I drive is I bump my elbow on the lumbar and bolster controls.
Someone needs to make it a poll. Do you pull the drivers door handle open and lock the car while getting out? I do it without thinking because it seems so natural.
I just use the key to lock my doors, it’s an old habit to keep me from locking my keys in anything.
I wish I had that habit, locked mine in several times. One time I used a branch to get in… needless to say it wasn’t pretty.
ez12a, every one of my vents is broken too 
no big deal, the A/C doesn’t work either…
I wish I could use the pull-the-door-handle-to-lock-both-doors trick, neither of my locks works from the inside! Damn my car having been in a junkyard at some point before I got it… :sad:
I have a friend that locked his keys in his 3rd gen, I had to use a coat hanger, it wasn’t pretty either, good thing the paint was crap already and he is painting it black to get rid of the green.
When you go threw a car wash and you get wet b/c your sliders were broken and you forgot to pull your window all the way back before entering.
When some doof thinks you have a JDM type-r front end b/c you don’t have round headlights.
When junk yards say that they don’t keep anything that old anymore.
When everything is special order for your car.
When your car is called an old school teg.
When all it takes to steal your shit, is a hanger - and your trunk popper…
When no matter how stock or ugly it is, people still manage to steal shit from it…
When it rains like a mo fo, and you just BREATHE and your windows get “sex fog”…
You realize you just spent 2k on a 15 year old car with 100+K Miles…
When you utilize the space between the ebrake and your seat as a cup holder and you make a sudden stop and your radio is then full of slushy…
When you have a general disgust for those circle lights on the 94+…
You can leave an Eclipse GST in your dust, lose controll, fly off the road into a pile of construction gravel at 90+ MPH… and only lose your passenger bumper lense (Yeah… it happened long ago)
When no matter how many mods you have done, your friends still hate because it isnt a 2000+
(This is if your dropped/slammed) You use the sound of your mudflaps scraping to determins if you are going to fast over bumps haha.
when you have 227k on the clock and you paid 800 dollars for your G2
and you still wouldnt trade it even up on any new car under $30,000
:rockon:
91tegraRS has a point there, I wouldn’t trade my car in on a new car, I would have to save for a down payment, and my car just turned over 200k last week, and I just replaced the driver side CV shaft and have to do the brakes next, and I don’t mind in the least.
when the guy you bought your LS Mesh from honda-tech says your car is one of the cleanest he’s seen in this body style. :rockon:
btw got them ls mesh w/ tires delivered to me for 200. :rockon: however i have a friend that can get me a pretty good deal on some falkens.
edit: when you’re willing to spend money to put some decent looking wheels on it.
You know your in a DA when all conventional wisdom is thrown out the window. 91tegraRS and Dragon@Heart hit it on the head. I bought my 92 RS about 4 years ago with around 212K miles for $1100. It has been a labor of love, slowly restoring her to hopefully pristine condition one day.
But who in there right mind would buy a car so old and with so many miles and actually prefer it over other newer cars? Like I said, you know your in a DA when all conventional wisdom is thrown out the window. The DA has beautiful lines, aggressive front end, excellent performance both stock and modified, excellent gas mileage, and longevity beyond all expectations. My 92 RS is about to roll over 305K miles and still runs like a top.
If anyone wants to see a movie about my personal obsession with my DA, rent the movie Christine by Steven King. It sums it up nicely, except all the demon posessed killing parts of course. :rockon: :rockon:
…your selective to the people you sell the car too?
I know I will be.
