I think this story is extra special because Chris, based purely on his experience with the car and history with Honda's, decided to keep and maintain the car AS-IS. This is rare for cars that are manufactured and marketed as an affordable, efficient and fun car. Treatment, such as what Chris has done for his cars, is usually granted to cars that are marketed as a "special edition", "limited production", "exclusive" cars. I commend him for his passion and commitment to his car. May we take this as an example and continue to maintain and appreciate our "little heros".

Road & Track magazine: "When they get around to listing the top good-time inventions of the late 20th century, we're willing to bet that right up there with the hang gliders, ultra lights, sailboards and jet skis you'll find the Honda Civic CRX. And we're willing to bet that the CRX won't be at the bottom of the short list--particularly if the CRX in question is an Si."

Chris brings the CRX and his 80's Accord to the JCCS every year.

I love the tag line: 'Drive Tastefully'.

What a beautiful car, and the professionally done video. As for not driving it or low miles, I have 3 CRX's. One not driven in 10 months (mechanical problem), one in over a year (streeter/racer), and one in storage for the Winter (1st gen). My Winter car is a Mercedes. Thats how much I like my CRX's.
