On opening night in my town, the was a guy who had painted 3 or 4 Rogue squadron symbols on his car. I thought it was kind of neat, myself :)

Oh yeah, this car has been around forever, I've even seen it in person at a SW-themed event in LA and chitchatted with the guy who owns it. Hadn't heard anything about it being stolen, though.

No, the Del Sol didn't come out until the early 90s, so that would be impossible.

These cars are all tasteless monstrosities.

CRX. And that CRX is not the weapon the original was. Anyway, not a lot of genuine skill put into the car and that's apart from the fact it screams "NERD!!!".

But then again I'm not impressed unless it's going entirely too fast with too few wheels on the ground.

It was called the Del Sol in the States, I think the CRX name died here in 90 when Honda made curvier Civics. A late 80s CRX with an engine swap is a wicked thing.

Dude, that car is pretty nasty. I like it, I'd drive it. But then again. . .this is coming from a guy who said if he ever had enough money he would own a street legal Batmobile and Mach 5. . .hmmm. . .I'm pretty nerdy myself.
