i use to have a 91 Impulse XS, and then picked up a 92 Impulse RS (Turbo AWD).
I did some AutoX with the XS, it was a total blast.
I so rarely see anyof them.

I had a 1971 GMC Sprint, which is basically an El Camino, and a 1997 V6 S10. My first car was a POS 1977 Buick LeSabre that I would have loved to drive into a concrete wall, but never did. Now I have a 2002 RS. I'll see if I can get a picture of the Sprint up here. DAMN I miss that car...

Car Info: '09 accord, '14 2 seater chevy
I was a riceboy!!! 2001 accord v6 ex The only consolation is that every single thing done to the car was done by me, meaning I did the labor.
Few mods, auti TT retrofit in my priojector housings, little system. Getting too old for the crap now.
And this is what she looked like with 23K miles and 3 years old after a hit and run. Entire front subframe was replaced, all kinds of other fun. All in all $13K worth of damage from someone cutting in front of me and clipping my nose driving me into the curb. At least I park straight on the sidewalk
