I've worked up the bravery to get it into VTEC a few times, and it hasn't punished me...

...yet.

How is the exterior holding up?

I've posted a few pics of it on this community since I bought it about a month ago. It's a bit rough on the outside. Big dent behind the driver's door that I hope a shop can tap out. The paint is pretty rough. My money is on it having sat out in the California sun for a long time. All upward facing surfaces are down to the base coat, but it has no rust. It lives in my garage and only comes out when the weather is fair. It stopped raining a while ago so I've been able to drive it a lot. It has mechanical issues I want to address first. So once I address those and the money is right (and I do some of the house projects I owe the missus), I'm going to have that dent fixed and the car resprayed in its original red.
