For what it's worth:
Bought a 2000 Si in December of '99 ( this was still in the forum reign of a lot of dudes who aren't here, like Old Si Man, etc), had Oscar Jackson himself (when Jackson Racing was in Westminster, Ca) put a JR supercharger on it, plus electronics, summer of 2001.
Drove it, raced it a bit, walked out on, fought off, even shot at once, a whole bunch of thief assholes, up until a month ago; got T-boned by some old F, was lucky enough to walk away from it (some guy at a gas station across the street told me the old F spun me around twice). In all that time, had head/valve work done once for a burned exhaust valve (probably my fault).
Do I miss it? Sure, a little, it was quick (not fast; I've been in a couple of fast cars; no comparison), overall it stayed put together, and the gas mileage was good. Do I miss the experience of walking out of some place wondering if it's there, and not already gone with some F'd up body kit glued so far out of alignment that it flaps in the wind, painted purple, and carrying the whole village including the two grandmas? Nope. Not a bit. I will never go back to a Honda, ever.
