Double Your Money With This DC2 Acura Integra GS-R
I like the Integra Type R. I like it a lot. Stitch welded chassis, obscene bright paint schemes, and decals that launched a decade of Autozone rice aisle sales. But I will never own one, and neither will you. The ITR market has exploded much like the Mk4 Supra and many other desirable 90s JDMs, and now, for most of us, save the oil barons and crypto bros, they’re out of reach, and they’re never coming back.
But, you can still get the next best thing, if you keep your ear to the rail that is ccf.com/cars, stay vigilant, and react quickly. The GS-R is the more common, less refined little brother to the ITR. No stitch welded chassis, no suede interior, but it still has the B18 and it’s ready to party. It’s also way cheaper than a Type R: while your average ITR on Bring A Trailer will pull over $40,000 and sometimes breach the six figure mark, GS-Rs tend to sell in the teens, even with mileage similar to the gem pictured in this article, which I recently found on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of $6900.
Bright red, fat fives, 100% stock, no rust, and 156K on the clock. I’ve found two examples on Bring A Trailer with similar mileage, one selling for $13,750 and the other for $15,250, both within the past four months.
So what are you waiting for? If you’re in Ohio, empty your checking account and pick up this quintessential 1990s Honda hot hatch. Bet it on red and double your money.

Goodbye, Daily Deals
Daily Deals, the near-daily blog post featuring a half broken list of Facebook Marketplace cars you’ve been getting spammed to your inbox for months, is coming to an end.
If you’re a daily reader of Daily Deals, don’t worry too much. I’m making a new page that will update daily with good deals found on ccf.com/cars. I’ll post about it when it’s live.
So why pull Daily Deals? Because it severely clutters the news feed. We have actual content we’ve created going up multiple times per week, and I want the feed to be nice and clean, a showcase for all of our work. Unfortunately, DD gets less views than our features, and really just looks bad in its current state. We’re trying to at least look half professional, here, after all. This is also to improve our mailing list. I only want to deliver you a morning email if there’s actually something on the site to read.
In other site news, Ebay listings are returning, and I’m going to start sunsetting the forum in favor of /cars inside the next month. If you’ve bookmarked any of the forum pages, they’ll start redirecting to /cars but filtered to your chosen make/model/generation. The forum has been a spam magnet from jump and is made obsolete by /cars, so it’s time to stop supporting it.
I know for most of you, this doesn’t really affect you in any way. If you have any concerns about DD or the forum, let me know. /cars is, for the most part, much more user friendly than the forum, but if I’ve missed or broken something, just shoot me an email and let me know.

Toyota GR86 Warranty Claim DENIED Over Social Media Photos: Engine Blew Up During AUTOCROSS
Today, it’s another round of our Bring A Trailer auction guessing game, which, due to PC concerns, we refer to in print only as Nice Price or No Dice. No cease and desist from Jalopnik yet, so we must still not be big enough. Fingers crossed their legal team attacks us soon.
In this one, we check out a Honda CRX Si, a Mark 2 Toyota Celica Supra, a 1970 Dodge Charger which leads to a great deal of debate, a low mileage, rear wheel drive variant Toyota 4Runner, and a top-trim Honda Element.
