It's me...Paulie!!! The original OSA: 3rd Gen Era web site is alive!!!

[pgeld]

Hey everybody!!!

I know, I know, it's been a while...long, long story

For those of you who don't know me, I'm one of the original (if not THE original) owners of a hooked up 3RD GEN Accord...

A while back, I had a website dedicated to the 3rd generation Accords called OSA: 3rd Gen Era. Due to server constraints, I had to take the site down.

Finally, after all this time, I'm able to put the site online again. This site has helped many, many old school Accord owners throughout the years, and I'm happy to say that although it's somewhat condensed since the last version, everything pertaining to the 86-89 Accords is still there, 100% in tact.

Enjoy everybody!

Ahh, ezboard...I have some great memories from that time. Posting the site online again makes me wish I never sold my Accord...

Unfortunately I sold all the stereo stuff with the car.

Glad you enjoyed the pics

[SteveDX89]

I remember your car from the ezboard days as well. First 3g I've ever seen with a ragtop. It's good to see your still around. What is/was the fate of your 3g?

[87accordlxi]

Holy crap! Paulie! I still have your clear bumper lights you made me

[RobT5580]

Hey Paulie glad to hear from you hope everything is going good for you. I wish you never sold your accord because that thing was awesome and you seem very dedicated to your projects.

Do you have any other projects since you sold your bike and the accord?

[A20A1]

I still haven't see your car over here but it's a bit hard for me to get on military bases now that I don't have the sticker and ID card.

[carotman]

I remeber seeing your car for the first time with that rag-top and I was like "holy shit that is dope!". Welcome back man....

[RobT5580]

I wanted my girl to buy his car i think he said it sold for $4k which is rediculous with the paint and quality of his car. Oh well but im glad that you checked in Paulie.

[88turboaccord]

Paulie who???

[markmdz89hatch]

Damn Paulie, welcome back. I know I'm late replying on this thread, but it's cool to see some of the old EZ Board members popping in. Damn. So what are you driving these days?

[pgeld]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!! I know it's been a long time, but I'm glad to see some of my old fellow 3G owners are still around

For those of you who asked, I sold the Accord to a fellow Air Force member who is now stationed in Hawaii. He brought the car with him as far I as know, so hopefully he's taking good care of it.

As for me, well, I decided to get a Subaru WRX. My wife wanted to get rid of her S2000 because she had some bad experiences in the rain with it's rear wheel drive. She wanted something that was faster, able to fit 4 people, and all wheel drive. Other than an Audi S4, the WRX was the obvious choice. Of course, the WRX is not stock, not by a longshot

For the record, it's a 2002 WRX, not an STi

As far as my AFSC, I used to be in Structural Maintenance, but I cross-trained earlier on in my career, and now I'm an Aviation Resource Manager...
