FL5 CTR joins EBP EM1 and E90 M3

[Evox787]

Oh I agree with you, this is my 3rd EM1. I had two in high school. Crashed one and then one was burning oil so sold it.

Now that I am older I appreciate the car for what it really is. It's the car I learned to drive stick in. Had the owner drop it off, paid him and then watched a Youtube video in 2008 and took it around the block. Lol.

My son also LOVES it and he is 2 years old so really cannot sell it. I think as he is older, if possible, would love to keep the Type R and have the Em1 and Type R still.

The E90 is another beast that is hard to describe unless you drive a S65 V8. It's intoxicating.

That’s another reason I keep my cars and drive them a lot—because my kids enjoy and love it, too. My FL5 is blue since it’s my son’s favorite color, so I totally get what you’re saying. This might sound cliché, but driving makes me feel a little better about myself, and I want to cherish those moments with my kids. I drive two hours every day, and honestly, it doesn’t bother me at all. One day, I’ll have all my dream cars in my garage. For now, I already have the Type R, so I know I can make it happen!

Man, same here. My 7 yr old is over the moon about my DE5. We'll see other much cooler cars and I'lll ask him which one he likes better and he always says "daddy's car." I get such a kick out of it.

Being a Dad makes this much more enjoyable. My son and I share this passion. He has over 60 hot wheels and his favorites are mine.. all JDM 90's cars lol. The passion greatened for sure when my son came into this world. Love that we all get to share this with our kids, very fortunate.

Since you and your son enjoy hot wheels, if you haven't already picked this up, go hunt this down right now!

We are broken people


I recently acquired a EM1. Sadly not in EBP like the one I had new back in 2000.

Drove to Tucson which is two hours south of Phoenix, signed a paper, and was back on my way! Drove it 5 miles when I got home and WOW... The instant smile I got. The power, the delivery, the steering. What a car. Have not smiled that hard in a while driving a car. I knew it was special.

I was minutes late on the tint as I asked them not to put it on. But it’s okay. I’m in Arizona so it’s hot as hell season.

 

[Agen2integra]

Yeah it’s insanely hot in AZ, you need it!

Awesome three-car lineup! I’d love to own another EM1 someday, and the E90 has one of my all-time favorite exhaust notes.

 

[TW00Si]

You’ll appreciate the EM1 more also. You can rev the $hit out of it and not get into too much trouble. Not with the type R. But enjoy!

This is excellent, thanks for posting it!

I mean, I still want an exhaust for my FL5, don't get me wrong, I grew up with a 1968 GTO for the (only) family car so I have that going for me

Looks like it came from Autonation Honda here in Tucson, good score on MSRP! Besides tint, any other add ons?

I Procured mine last year in town from Chapman, but that required some hard shopping with one in Sierra Vista and another in Yuma.
