I have had it since birth and it replaced an 87 I think. My friends rag on me for driving it so long as I can have practically anything through my company. The car looks its age with 198,000 and the original dark green paint with oxidizing and water spots on the hood and an assortment of nicks elsewhere. The tinting is toward purple with mostly air bumps on the rear. The drivers seat is worn and split so I tape it together with packing tape that about matches the tan leather. The radio doesn't work so good as I went through a flooded area(over the hood and didn't stall) and did something to the amplifier so that the right front only hisses unless I adjust for left rear only. I helped that by stuffing a small towell behind the speaker cover.<br>Other than above, I've taken pretty good care of it service-wise though my acura mechanic gives me those looks.<br>I've looked at lots of other cars,including acura, but haven't been turned on by anything. Mine really runs good. Its responsive at all speeds: quick and agile,flat through turns and will turn on a dime. The front wheel drive gives good traction and I like the drivers visibility. I just can't find anything better. I don't know much about cars, but these guys did a heck of a job with this one.<br>But its time I must do something. I'm wondering if the new MDX? might be it. I hunt & golf so that might fit. I understand that the RL is being changed to v8 and rear wheel drive, but 2002 sounds far off.<br>In the meantime, can any of you suggest things I might do to make my 91 a bit more enjoyable and less offending to my compadres. Like a good paint cleaner product, or seat cover thats not too dorky, or the radio(possible to replace the amplifier only without some huge investment), or is it possible to do your own tinting and have it look reasonable.<br>Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.

It looks to me that you may need to put the 91 out of its misery and think about getting a replacement 94 or 95. This way you will not spend that much money investing into a 10 year car (practically 10 yrs.) I have a 94 leg sdn GS and it still runs like new. But you must keep in mind that you can't treat the car like you would a truck. You have to put time in to keep it looking new.
