First of all, I still love this list. It's SO satisfying to see so many of  
the old timers still around. It's interesting that many of us have moved on in  
some fashion or another, but still love this car.  
I miss my SE-R. I still have it, but when I was working on my 944 one day  
and saw a piece of rusted metal fall off the SE-R I realized that while I  
wanted to keep it for the rest of my life, it's entirely too far gone to  justify 
restoring it. I'd have to reaplace half the coachwork. The 4 years it  spent in 
the northeast before I moved to Houston was just too much damage to  
overcome. Still, I'm having a hard time either selling it or parting it (but  hell, 
I'll entertain offers :-). 


Yes, its quite satisfying.  I dont think there is another list like  this 
anywhere, on any subject.
 
Funny about the rust, my 91 had practically no rust.  Just a little on  the 
bottom of the front fenders and the one area on the A pillar inside the  front 
door.  Nothing on the undercarriage whatsoever.  I think it  might have been 
coated, or just from never being up North.
 
Mine is restored esthetically for the most part now...I will keep it  
forever.  Even though it doesn't handle like my RSX, and not as quick, its  a still a 
blast to drive.  That equation the automakers need to find, fun  to drive and 
affordable.
 
I can relate to Wayne though and his RSX.  Its a great car, but I dont  have 
the attachment to mine like I did with the SE-R.  However...my RSX is  the 
first car I, or anyone I know that has ever bought a new car, has never  needed a 
drop of warrantee work or a visit to the dealer in 26k miles.  Its  just been 
dead reliable.  I just keep changing the oil and rotating the  tires.
