Wow.......I was 44 when I bought my new '98. I've owned a few nice sporty cars in the past but this time was looking to not spend a lot of $, and I wanted something new. Actually looked at a Contour SVT - 4 doors; trying to justify & all - (big mistake THAT would have been!) and the Ford dealer pissed me off so I went to look at a Integra, probably a GSR. I'd heard of the Type R of course and had read about it but didn't know the dealer had one. Sure enough they did, in the showroom. I drove a 'regular' Integra and told the GM that is the R was outside for a test drive I'd drive it. Of course it was outside when I got back. I drove it and bought it. First time I'd never played the hard-to- get consumer role. I had done business with the GM but still bought it at sticker, tho he 'threw in' locking lug nuts and I believe mats. I've never regretted it.

 

25 - Felt sad one day. Bought ITR. Loving every second of it.
Better than a boyfriend! :twisted:

 

I was 22. I have a 98 eclipse gst also, but I was dying to get R in good condition. I found one on Ebay about 2 months ago and had to have it. I love it, and the R is so much more fun to drive then a turbocharged eclipse. :lol:

I was 20 bought it may 2000 had a 1986 Honda Prelude SE at 16 beat the shit out of it had over 300000km never died it rotted out on me sub-frames would cave in when putting it on a hoist so had to retire it. HONDA FOR LIFE

 

I was 26 when I bought my R....

 

I was 28 when i bought mine, as a graduation present to myself. I had to do some convincing with my girlfriend until she actually saw it being detailed at the dealership, then she insisted that i buy it. It was bought used last summer by the way.

 

i got mine when i just became 18. LEGAL and DEMANDING :twisted:

 

I got mine when I was 23. Enjoyed it everyday since

 

I got mine a few months ago. I haven't aged since and I'm still 24. Be patient- good things come to those who wait (or figure out how to get credit at a young age).

 

Bought ML007's ITR just a month ago at 36.

When ML007 announced in our AutoX club's forum that the ITR was for sale, I had made a joke about purchasing it but soon realized that I was due for a newer car. Fooled everyone since it was kept as a secret until I showed up with it at our club's Open House day.

Since I believe in Honda products, this was a chance of a life time. Sure the $ was somewhat high compared with others but knowing ML007, it was in very good hands. So, made a few calls, and got this baby.

Now, I go to work with a smile after driving it. :wink: Just a joyful car to drive smooth or hard.

At least, my clients will take me more seriously when I show up with this beauty.
