Ceramic white with a red emblem. Such a classic combo.

Back in 1984 a friend and myself had purchased a Honda 600 lime green for 50 bucks. My friend lived next to a large wooded area at that time where we would ride our dirt bikes. We thought it would be fun to use the Honda as a dune buggy driving in the trails we kept it in his backyard but we had fun with it ( we were 16 years old also) don’t know what happened to it junked it I believe. But after watching the video brought back memories of that little car

Back in the late seventies I owned a 1972 Honda CVCC that was my commute car (50 miles +) one way and all on back twisty roads. I drove the ****!! out of that car and had a blast doing it! Went to a local lumber store and picked up five sheet of 14' drywall ! The store employee helping me put them on the CVCC roof, though I was insane, but I did make home with the drywall

WOW. Thank you for posting that. I remember driving some of the early CRX cars, amazing.

But the car I will never forget was a tiny orange '70's CVCC owned by the son of a race driver in El Paso.
Nothing did high speed controlled four wheel drifts like that Honda. Stock.

While newer Honda models, like most cars made today, have put on some length and weight,
and traded NA engines for turbochargers, you can still feel the essence of the late founder's desire
to do things his own way, rather than just follow the pack.
Honda's are still lighter than most competitors, handle better than most, and are definitely better all around designs
than on offer elsewhere. For real world prices.
