Last Wednesday, we received a lot of feedback and most of you guys showed some love for the CB7 Accord. I also got some email saying “why glorify the CB7, they’re so common!” and some were “show us something that you don’t see everyday”. The CB7 was definitely a popular car for regular Joes, and a great platform for enthusiasts. Sometimes we come across a car that we never see everyday; one of them is the Infiniti M30. Based on the R30 Skyline, the M30,also known as the Nissan Leopard in Japan, was a competitor to the Toyota Camry, Lexus GS and ES. Compared to the Leopard, the M30 had a different engine, transmission and suspension.  With its potential and capabilities, like other Nissans of its kind, the M30 is definitely a hard to find treasure now a days.

Definitely my favorite Honda Accord generation. I’m saying not because of what I have read, or seen but because I actually did own a 1992 4 door Accord EX. I bought it for a good price from a friend who was moving to New Jersey. It had standard transmission, fully auto w/ sunroof, body was straight, had good miles on it, it ran perfect but had no AC and all I had to do was charge it cans of r134a. The car was promising, it got me from point A to B with no problem specially for an old Accord. I was planning on having it repainted Dark Amethyst Pearl then drop it tintless with some 4×114 Civic TypeR wheels. My plan was simple, a clean daily i could use for school and work.  Things came up unexpectedly during those times and having 3 cars was not feasible, so I had to let one go; my wife’s BMW (HELL NO, she’d kill me) my 98 civic sedan (just cant let go) and the 92 Accord. And yes, sadly I parted ways with the Accord. Till this day, I wish i still had it; I even told the buyer to let me know if he was planning on selling it again. And every time I see pictures of a clean CB7 or rolling on the road, oh the memories!

If you live in Houston, you know about the 610 loop and i10 Katy interchange during rush hour; Yes, I was stuck. I was not going to work but I was heading Katy to pick up my son then drive home.  Sometimes driving in traffic can be really frustrating. To avoid the rage, I amuse my self by checking out cars around me. So yesterday I spotted a silver Mercedes-Benz C55, NICE pretty rare. As it passed me, beside it, on the other lane was a factory fresh 98 front, cyclone blue Honda Civic sedan. I mean it had hubcaps, no tint, paint was mint, body was straight and as it was rolling BAMM, ALL CLEAR TAIL LIGHTS. The tail lights caught me off guard; I was slapped with a sudden burst of nostalgia. I was brought back when my 56k was fast, when I thought my Moto mini Pager was the shit, when I was recording guest DJ’s from the radio to my cassette tape. Who would have thought that a set of “ricer” tail lights would bring so much memories, it made my ride home less stressful remembering the things I used to do. Who would have thought that some “all-clear” tails cleared my thoughts of road rage during a stressful rush hour drive.
