She can't drive a stick, so it's all me. We have an '06 TSX that's her daily driver. We'd keep the Integra as a backup.

That being said, I vote for any 90's honda/acura. Particularly the civic/integra/prelude as they're gonna be pretty similar to the civic/integras that you've had in the past and therefore, easier to work on.

And I'm sure you can find some Honda product for $500, especially if you find something with a blown headgasket, bad axles, something like that...
I'll check the local Craig-Listings, etc. to see what's up.

I never had the chance to drive one. I missed the Geo rental era...

Personally, I'd up the budget 3x
That's part of the challenge: $500.

I think re-runs of the English version of "Junkyard Wars" has had an influence on me lately
