The people in the CR-X would survive. Crumple zones, airbags and other safety features\>50s vehicle with taped in glass, no crumple zones, solid steering column etc. Or they would at least have a MUCH greater chance of surviving than somebody in one of those old “deathtraps” as PJB would say ---

why even bother arguing about this? PJB doesn’t have a clue about anything, and it’s not worth the arguement anymore. i said mine years ago when people thought $3500 was too much for a rust free crx, and still to this day they argue and are really on the losing end because people out there will pay that much and more… ---

1990 Honda Appreciation - $1K 2001 Z06 depreciation $30,000. Maybe some people are just smart with their money? Are you going to ridicule people for paying crazy money for original minis? Minis sole purpose in life was to be as commuter friendly as possible, not a performance machine by any means. But people still go crazy for them. Vette has been done over and over, and each new model is better than last. There has been no worthy replacement for a Crx yet, that’s why people pay for them. ---

Real manual steering box is only felt slightly heavy when you’re parked in a light car. true story. I had a 1990 CRX SI and it was incredibly light to steer, even at slow speeds or when parking it was very easy. FWIW, I wrecked that car into a tree on icy roads. It needed a fender, door, windshield, radiator and maybe a hood. It held up pretty well considering it hit a tree at 40mph. I replaced the windshield and radiator and drove it for the rest of winter before selling it for 1000 dollars 7 or 8 years ago, lightly rusted (not bad though). ---

Oh come on. You are sitting here talking about appreciation and depreciation on something that isn’t even an investment. You could buy ANY car, ever made, take from the dealership and put in a garage. 20 years later, yah it will be worth money because it will be a “rare” find. Matter of the fact is, $14K on a CRX is just dumb. UNLESS you are going to buy it for a small investment another 20 years from now and NOT drive it. I have seen C5 vettes going for $15K so lets do some math: Vette: (Benefits) 345HP/6-Speed/RWD/PW/PL/Airbags, I could go on and on and on CRX: (Benefits) Nostalgia? I am not saying it is a unworthy vehicle. But to pay 14K for something like that you are going to put on the road is a joke. ---

“What we have here is, failure to communicate” Nothing positive will ever come out of a convo between people that look at a Honda CRX in the same way that ‘we’ look at a AC Cobra, L88 Camaro, etc. But here is the deal. I can understand purchasing the vehicle for an investment standpoint, and putting it in storage, but to buy it to drive is ‘full retard’, IMO. Why? Because if someone is purchasing this thing as their ‘sunny day/weekend’ car, well…I can list many cars/ideas that would be cheaper/more fun than driving around a 20 year old stock Honda. And to daily drive it? Well, it’s going to get torn up and depreciate. Also, it’s not as reliable as a car that’s 10-20 years newer that goes for a similar price. Period. Argue that all you want, but only someone with a fair amount of technical knowledge would understand.
