Then we finally got the real good stuff like the WRX and Sti, EVO, etc... It was a good time to get into cars. I still have all my tuner magazines from the era in the garage somewhere.

Those were the days. I had an RSX Type-S, my buddies were in VR6, Spec-V, GTi, SVT, SRT-4, Si etc. The height of sport compact. Acura getting out was the first sign of decline.
What do today's kids have as options in those price ranges? Probably nothing.
