The 914! Forgot someone on these boards had one.
Oh, I love these kinds of threads. :D
Here is my 1993 Honda Civic VX (notice the stylish, light-weight wheels). I suppose I should have taken a photo of the car after it came out of the car wash. :D

Had this car for over four years. Put a lot of miles on it. The odometer has never worked all the time (it works about 50 or 60% of the time), even so, it has still recorded a lot of miles. The tachometer also doesn't always read accurately. Should be more like 3250rpms at 100mph.
EDIT: I love my car, even though it has no amenities (no power power steering, no power locks, no heated seats, no blue tooth, no navigation etc. etc.). I guess I like my cars simple, like my computer games.
'Drove down to the auto show in Philly this past weekend with my brother in his baller Volvo V70 R wagon (300 or so horsepower). My brother doesn't like to drive so I drove most the way down and the entire way back. I enjoyed the car's power and when the turbos would kick in it was hard to change gears at a civil shift point. But the rearward visibility isn't as good, changing gears requires more effort than on my car and six gears is a little tedious when your driving around town (the gears' ratios are quite close together). By the end of the trip I was looking forward to getting back in my car to make the super bowl in Boston. Yeah, my car doesn't have the same power, but if I get behind other speeding vehicles (drafting) I can make perfectly good speed while remaining in the tall 5th gear and still return respectable gas mileage numbers, all while averaging 75-90mph on the highway (probably somewhere around 40mpg).
EDIT: Oh, here is a picture of my car after it came out of the car wash:
