My favourite Accord for style and looks. Almost as nice as my brothers car

Does this car REALLY qualify as a classic?

I was wondering the exact same thing.  A great car, but a modern classic???   ???   I would beg the differ.

Iffy, perhaps. I think Jeff wrote this mostly so he could review his own car...

That's pretty bad. He belongs in the same pen with Charness.

ROFLMAO :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: ... If a '92 Miata is worth $20k as an antique I'll be expecting a cheque for $40k from the sale of my '88 VW Cabby at the Barrett-Jackson.

No wonder why insurance rates are out to lunch.

Well he's not going to get 20K. The car was actually "worth" more than I thought but less than half the 20K. The guy had some paper saying he had it "appraised" as an Antique car.

What about this one? Advertised as a "Classic" car ::)
