Well, looking forward to the S&S, then.

What, FBC signs & symptoms?  :rofl2:


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Lol, 5,000km is substantial for a car that's not a daily driver or driven in the winter! The S2000 on the other hand, probably saw half a tank of gas in all of 2020...

Not enough torque to get the S2000 over the little hump on the lift, eh?  I understand.   ;D

Oof,  as a fan of Honda's K-series engines, I'm deeply insulted by that comment!

I used to tease Ted that the starter in his RX-8 had more torque than the engine did!

I wish I could find the picture again, but many years ago on a Honda forum I frequented, someone posted a picture of their garage with a Fit and an S2000. Both had vanity plates with "NO PWR" on the Fit and "NO TRQ" on the S2000. Hard to argue with either.

Sold the Lexus. Bye Kira, you were wonderful  :'(

Private buyer from Thunder Bay, flying in this weekend to drive it back home. Also works at a dealership. Got $12k. Happy with that.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

S&S coming after the weekend hopefully. "Black Beauty" (temporary name) will be coming home after I put the Lexus money against the new loan.
