The one I drove was a first gen=P

Must have been fairly worn.  Not sure what to tell you.  They were very far ahead of their time when they came out in 94.  Just in the last 3-4 years they started losing their edge in the stock classes in autocross.

Picked up a summer beater a few weeks back

The one I drove was a pretty big pos. Lol

Rc51 gear driven cams sound amazing.

NOOOO!!!!  Why??

Because my only other option is my 66 Charger. Intended to buy a E34 for my DD, but, my wife wanted another convertible so I bought the E30. Sometimes I wonder whether I should sell it given that there are only about 4 months out of the year when I can drive it with the top down, and about half of that time it spends raining. Love the way it drives in the winter, though. The best RWD car I've driven in snow bar none!

Just picked this up this week! Rusty but can't complain at all. 5 speed with m50, 186000 miles, with summer and winter tires on wheels

[I love my E39]

Luckyy

Great find Dominic! Wish I had the money. Hate to use my E30 as a winter car.

Bought my first honda...

Was looking into some of the cheap BMW's around but didn't want something that could potentially turn into a project like the truck and car.

Chris took the meaning of "beater" to a whole new level!

[Earl]

^Sure did=) I hope to see pictures of it climbing snow banks just like I did with my MK3

[YoungCR]

I was planning on running into snow banks haha

I finally got a daily I think I am gonna push through winter. Its the third Hypermiling car I have owned, and I think this one is a keeper. its an 03 civic hybrid. I wish I had something RWD but I commute 70+- miles to work during the week.

[Earl]

Hypermilling?

[Jdesign]

Yeah look it up. Its a whole new perspective around modding a car: for MPG's.  http://jalopnik.com/here-s-what-happened-when-i-went-hypermiling-in-a-honda-1621059406

[Earl]

Weird....I am too lazy for that but it would be smart

[patsbimmer1]

What mods are done to the civic to make it a hyper miler?

[Jdesign]

Not a whole lot yet. I plan on deleting the wipers, possibly moving the mirrors inside the car, and adding a better belly pan. Its more focus and concentration. I find it a lot harder than racing, well maybe not, buts it takes a lot to really squeeze MPGs out of a car.

[Earl]

What mileage have you accomplished in your past cars? What were your past hypermiling cars?

[patsbimmer1]

I'm familiar with the hypermiling driving style... it sucks lol.  I used to drive 300 miles a day in my 94 corolla and became familiar with the rpm/mph/mpg game.  I wasn't fanatical about it but when you spend that much time in a car and your broke it makes sense to figure out the most cost effective combination of route and driving style.
