72' Cutlass(w/ Hurst 4 speed)was my "gateway car" back in the day. I bought it for $150. Shocks were blown and it looked like grandma owned it (ran like a champ though!). I've owned a Civic and an Accord and never thought I was driving/making it a racecar....just transportation. I understand nowadays Honda parts are cheap and the market is huge, so you do w/ what you can afford.
