5. 90 Acura Integra (17+) Best by far and still going strong [12,000,n/a]

Total cost net of trade ins: $21,000

Estimated total cost of repairs (over 40 yrs) $2,500

Needless to say I do almost all work myself

All cars were driven approx 12k/yr


My first 3 cars and the best ever were Studebakers.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.
