When I bought my Civic last month, there was a 2002 Acura RSX sitting next
to it at the dealer. I had a quick peak inside it, and to my surprise it
was an automatic! I don't think I have ever seen an automatic RSX or
Prelude, even though I know it was available.

I meant they make no vehicle that I want to own as an only car.
Maybe a S2000 if I could afford a 2nd car.

autotrader.com is the only one I'm at all familiar with besides eBay.
I've heard other people recommend craigslist, if you have one available
that covers your area - you can see the areas covered in Ohio here:

The RC174 was the other inline-6 - it had a 297cc engine and raced in
the 350cc class. Check out this article about a guy in the UK who built
a half-dozen exact replicas of the RC174 from scratch, each of which was
sold for close to $500,000!
