In order to keep my 82 in prestine condition, I've had to buy a couple of other cars to run as daily drivers. I first bought an 85 GS about 10 years ago, then it died and I bought a 92 Integra GSR in 99 and am still driving it.

Does anyone else sacrifice what some people would consider an "upgraded" car for their beloved 1st gen?
