I miss this truck very very much...
The only sports type vehicle I've had was the Spec V and I don't regret selling it at all.
The truck above though was just great. Got 21 mpg on the highway, 17 mpg in town with me beating the shit out of it. The cornering was shockingly balanced. It was also probably the best looking vehicle I've owned. I loved the interior and the two tone exterior. And holy shit at being very very loud with the cat back exhaust I had on it.
I owned it when I was in the Air Force and whenever possible I would park backed up to the window of our office. It would shake the whole office when I'd start it!
This following vehicle was one I had in High School, I don't miss it as much. But it was a blast to throw into corners, it was very light weight for a truck, only had the KA24e engine with a 5 speed manual. The only options on it were the back bumper and air conditioning. It didn't even come with a stereo. I did some very very stupid shit in that truck, I sold it at 95k miles in 1997. It still didn't burn any oil when I sold it, despite how hard I drove it. In the mid 90's coming home from work, I would peg the 100mph speedometer for extended periods.

I don't miss anything I sold. There was a reason that I sold all of my cars, so there is no reason to sit here and ponder on was done for the right reason.

my last 82 244. had like 160k on it, and I sold it for $800...
Past that, I miss the damn Galant every day. The thing made a name for me in the DSM community, and it was pretty well-known locally.
I also wish the dude didn't total my 81 V242 GLT. talk about a beast...

What you really need is an NYG Neon ACR....
No thanks, I'm set for those. Appreciate the offer though!

No contest for me, the only car I really miss is my 98 Accent.
However, in a fit of almost relapse I'm going to be co-driving my friend's 99 Accent in FSP next season I think, which is the car I used to run against with mine and I've helped set up in the past. All his car really needs now are shocks (probably Koni, leaning towards 8611's), 13" Hoosier A6's (255's front, 225's rear), 13x9F/13x8R wheels, and some minor weight reduction (-50#'s or so to get under 2000#).

Wait. What.
255s on the drive wheels, and under 2k lbs? Your obsession with these things suddenly clicks into sharp relief. Whoa.

Ya, 255/40/13 Hoosier A6's. Here's a set on a miata's tire tail I found on miata.net, best pic I've found of them.
The car is sitting at 2035 pounds now, with the stock stereo still in, those heavy ass wheels and tires in the picture, and a few other odds and ends so I think 1950 pounds is doable. It still doesn't make any sense, but hell its fun and this time its NOT my car. The tires alone will be worth more than the car, let alone the DA Koni's if we go with them...

I always liked your SE-R. And I always wanted your NX. LOL
The only thing I didn't like about the SE-R was the headlight/corner light combo. I was getting ready to piece together a Lucino Crystal headlamp/corner/grill setup when the 2nd tranny broke. Ended up saying F it and sold it. Still wish I hadn't, but oh well.

I paid next to nothing for it, perfectly reliable bolt-on 4.6 with tasteful mods and a sexy Magnaflow catback with Xpipe.
Also my 86 5.0 Ex-highway patrol car. I paid $700 for that one, sawzalled the rusty exhaust off, threw on Weld draglites and gutted the thing. What a great car.

Don't forget: I don't have any pictures of my 1G DSM, but I do miss it from time to time. Also, picture in OP was taken by me
Both those pics are your pics, I think.
Strangely, I didn't really miss the S once i turned it in, but I will remember pulling into the driveway and seeing that bright yellow car on the grass in the sun a long while.
