It would be nice to have a way to find out if the DOT can provide the number of DSMs (of whatever collections of year, make, model, and maybe trim) that are still being renewed. I DD mine all year but of course I treat it like none other and am meticulous about keeping it mechanically sound and for most people that's too much. Getting them running isn't even that freaking hard, just gotta suck it up and put your head down and get it done. Keeping them running is all about maintenance like any vehicle, however much like the demise of other imports of the era, the way people drive them is brutal and of course if every time you took your brand new econobox and beat on it, it would have issues too. Especially down the road. Maturity is tough to find in some modified car crowds and I think the DSM crowd is one of them. I've learned lessons and done many stupid things to, and with my car, but it didnt turn me into being a hillbilly just removing a wastegate or welding a turbo onto mom's nonturbo spyder.

My 2g is usually hiding in the garage. I have only been driving it on weekends due to carpooling to work. It will be safely tucked under its cover before any salt hits the roads.

Got my 2g track car being built. And now have a 2g gsx i daily and i treat them both the same. Wash every other day and wax. Maintain the motors like they should be and do everything to spec. No cheap shit goes on my cars.

You just need to open your eyes a bit.:D I've dailied my car all summer for the last few years. I just don't attend many events anymore.
I do agree, I don't see many 1g's anymore, I still don't care much for 2g's. :beer:

You just need to get yourself another 1g with an auto, 2.4 and a big ass turbo and rule the streets.

Naaa, my old car morphed into basically doing that right now, with its new owner, Wade AKA NIGHT-TOUCHER aka Mondale
I just like these damn 1Gs.
