1990 Nissan S-Cargo

I've been wanting to post an S-Cargo for a while now. There are several around town. Like the Toyota Sera and the Nissan Figaro (which I will get, sooner or later) this was purely meant for Japan, and for whatever odd niche they fit there.

First I love the sheer crazy audacity of creating a van like this -- the vast glass area, the toy like circular shapes, the impractical windows. Next, repeating the shape in the details -- the mirrors, speedometer & dash, taillights, heck even the wheelwells. Once again, it would never happen in North America.

1990 Acura Integra 4dr

Excellent patina, a fine grime coating most under surfaces. I don't know why they ever quite making Integra sedans, they were both refined and practical.

1990 Honda Civic LX

This old Honda looks to be in great shape, a daily driver. Looks odd as a sedan now -- I keep feeling surprised that the trunk is there. It looks like an afterthought. At the time, this was my favourite generation of Civic. After this year, they went to the bulge-y, ugly shape. In retrospect, the rounded '91-'95 hatchbacks don't look too bad, but so many have been destroyed by guys turning them into street racers.
