Wow, that's pristine. I like the 5 Speed emblem.

On another note, the Texas Classic plates are nice.

Such a shame that interior maroon. Honestly, I don't think the 81 Accord is much of a looker, or a car I'd even pay any attention to, other than the fact that it's an old Honda that you never see.

I could think of many better things to spend $3500 on. Such as my car. lol

Haha i miss those old analog style clocks.

Your buying the FEELING (and all the many intrinsic qualities) of owning, driving, smelling, hearing, feeling, llooking at it etc.

Like any car, even a classic mustang, classic laborghini countach they are all superseeded. You cannot and should not compare them with newer cheaper cars in comfort quietness performance etc.

Reasons why classics cars are still around (either owned by mulitimillionaires or normal people).

Bear in mind opportunities dont come all the time (old cars - recognised classics or not - in conditions you would like them to be are seldomly available).

Think hard and long if you want it (Snooze and you lose if you change your mind).

you are wasting your time explaining to people who are more "practical" with their money

Nice grandpa accord. But its not a good looking car by any means.. 1.8L tho lol.

If you are saying they are practical are you then implying my advise (me included) is impractical?

Practicality with money is dependant on how much you have to cover your needs and wants (to give you the most satisfaction in life).

Not everyone here is in the verge of poverty.

I think you better think your comments through before posting another.

I'd slam it with some 15" high offset XXR's and camber the shit out of it. Then hang a beanie baby from the rear tow hook.

no... is my comment so hard to understand that it was agreeing with you? i had to have 2 different people read it just to confirm that its not me

practicality with money is buying things you need, wants have nothing to do with it. didn't mention anything about poverty...

if i choose to be practical i wouldn't be wasting 2g+ every month for fun things. the latest purchase thread can easily confirm this

Obviously your comment could be interpreted another way hence why I was seeking clarrification.

I dont believe my previous comment on this 1981 accord is a waste of time. It is a given that not every thread or comment will be for them. It is given to those 'few' that may find it relevant.

I did it to provide a different train of thought to the previous comments condemning the car or its purchase (and perhaps find this vehicle a new and appreciative home).

Our interpretation of "practicality" differs as my interpretation also covers wants (if acquiring it is practical on the situation).

A normal person may have all his/her basic needs covered and be going to a camping trip by choice "for fun". It is then "practical" for them to spend on relevant equipment eg. sleeping bag, insect repellant etc to make that experience possible rather than a back up car head light.

If we are on agreeance then no problem.
