You should see the fuel tank I pulled out of this 1991 6000 mile NSX. It looked like whiskey not fuel.

[@somerandomfella]

That's cool Larry but don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

[@jwltiger3357]

I believe is was a motec system exhaust, he didn’t order a motec exhaust system…I could be wrong though

[@hondamanvtec2894]

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

[@brycerehder8372]

Ex Honda mechanic here who raced TA in Gridlife at RA. First thank you Peter for showing off your staggering collection of vintage cars. As a 88 Crx Si owner for the last 21 years, I have looked up to many of these cars in magazines or online as I got into racing. Unbelievable to see so many in one private collection. The 89 Crx really stands out to me, as I have the Road & Track magazine that the ad was featured in as they came with my Crx from the original owner. If you ever open up the collection to the public I hope we can find out. I'm traveling to Japan to see the Honda Museum in March, and it would be great to some day see your collection in person. -Bryce - a Honda enthusiast

[@notoymotor4me64]

Thanks to all that helped in producing this video. I am awe struck. As a long time fan boy (fan papa@73 yrs old) I watched every second of this. Much luv to Peter and all his skills. I met Peter some time ago in the pit area at Lime Rock Park and purchased a picture of Him driving the Real Time NSX. Honda's I've owned are '78 Civic 1200cc, '84 Civic S, '94 Civic coupe, '95 GSR, '01 Integra type R, '08 Civic SI, and '25 ITR typeS! All modded and driven like I stole 'em.

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Thanks for your support

I want to be you when I get older. 43, been into Hondas exclusively since my teens. Owned 97 Civic DX coupe, 07 Civic Si, 04 TSX and 08 Fit. First time in my life I don’t own a Civic. TSX is for the office and my modified Fit is for the mountain.

I love Peter's deadpan humor almost as much as this collection. Well, no, actually, nowhere close to as much, this collection is ridiculous, but still: "No they're Hondas" "I'll still have an occasional car follow me home, but I can stop at any time" "It's very safe, with these bars here" "Its got about 500 hrsprs with a hairdryer bolted there" "For a more gentleman driver" "But we had the unfair advantage of front wheel drive" so many gems 😂.

I know that blue T360 very well, because I am from Germany and know Guido, who sold that car to Peter. He imported it from Japan and needed to go to the Netherlands, to make it roadlegal in the EU and so he could also get it on the roads of Germany. Nobody can go in that Truck without a huge smile and it sounds amazing.
