It would have to be my Integra as well. Bought it for $200, poured my heart, sweat, tears and 7k into it making something worth looking at and equally fun to drive. Ended up losing $1500 selling and the kid completely wrote it off a few months later. Breaks my heart looking at these pics.

I traded a '97 Integra GSR for the S2000. I do miss the car some, but I wasn't in a position to have two cars, and the S2000 was a worthy replacement so no real regrets.

I do with my parents had kept their '91 CRX Si, so I could turn it into a track car.

92 Honda Civic Dx hatch went from missing one cylinder to eventually having a b20/vtec swap with all the goodies. Sold it for a very dumb dumb dumb reason.

Haha that's funny we'll, looks like most of us miss our integras... Well if I ever get and older daily driver/ project I'm keepin her... I'm really leaning toward the ae86 hatchback but there so dang expensive and beat up, I would probably be better off getting another gsr or a civic hatchback like a eg or something an go from there. Dang I miss the good and practical while still fun to drive older cars ie. the ones that most people look don't look at. I love my cars but they draw a fair amount of attention that I don't really want all the time or need. Oh if only I could have it all.
