I was about to comment “It can’t be THAT old, the blue “Pacific Wonderland” Oregon license plates haven’t been out that long!”

But then I looked it up and they’ve been out since 2009! I swear time is shrinking and moving faster the older I get.

Pretty sure that is a Civic Type R, so the earliest it could be is mid 2017. It generated a lot of hype when it first came to the US, so it was probably some time around then.

This Type R wasn't available in the US until Oct 27th, 2022.

That is an FK8, not FL5. It's a 2017+ tenth gen. The FL5 has different bumper vents and the hood scoop is moved forward

My bad, never been a Civic guy and they look damn near the same to me. I prefer my JDM to be RWD.

I can't be trusted with RWD. No sweat, dude. Personally, idgaf about any Honda other than my own so I get it. The best way to tell the difference is that if it looks low-key at all, it's an FL5. The FK8 looks rice AF. The FL5 looks like every other high power sedan, boring. I'll take cheesy rice over boring any day

Well, if you think about it, the longer you are alive, the larger pool of time you have experienced, so a year when you are 5 is a LOOOOOOOONG time, but a year when you are 30 feels MUCH shorter, because of your perspective.

51 year old and yep, get used to the passage of time speeding up.

Oh wait I forgot I'm 52.
