Default Some old school automotive treasures!

One of my buddies cant ever part with his cars.....This guy still has every car he has owned...These two Honda's were bought new, 89 Lude and 89 Rex. The Lude has 55,000 miles and the Rex has 49,000 miles! All original paint, never hit, all stock panels, on both cars....Rex has 17 inch Tracers, cut ST springs on tokico blues. Lude has 17inch C's, H&R sport, tokico blues, Sebring exhaust....Sitting in both cars feels like sittin in them at the Honda dealer...seat's minty fresh, no tears, cig burns, super ****** sano!

**** pics for now, but expect a Digital Tocino shoot on these.....!












the Lude:



and an added bonus, his lady's 86 MR2 supercharged model with Milano 5 spokes and a Toysport front lip...This car only has 65,000 miles.



They are both in their mid 30's so they lived the old school era with these cars, but the cars stayed well preserved.

It's HT man, where it's "see it for what it isn't, instead of appreciating what is it."

That's pretty remarkable, all 3 cars look incredibly spotless. Hard to believe those cars are almost 20 years old.
