I'm back in the business.

As a few of you already know, I have returned to work for Acura. After nearly a year away from working, I have decided to go back to work. I have gone back to David McDavid Acura of Austin, the first Acura store I worked for. Once again, I am doing consulting for a dealer. In other words, we don't have a real title for me. I do a little bit of everything again. Just like I did at the last place.

Besides, I haven't posted a useless thread in a while.

Oh, and my car may be going on the market in the near future...

I'm looking into another S2K. Either a new 2006 (if it actually changes) or a certified 2003 (the perfect year of the first generation cars). I don't need the extra set of doors. Besides, Ami and I split up (long story) so it's not like I have to tote many people anymore.

<-- Former S2K owner that has driven and considered many NSXs. I don't really want to drop that much cash just yet. I am just setting on everything since Ami and I split up (yeah, we're still cordial and will be ok). I had to sell the house, move into a new one with a couple friends, open a new insurance policy, change all of our accounts, and then try to play a little catch up at work. Spending the cash on the S2K is enough for me.

Yeah, I basically took a year off to clear the head. Thanks to everyone for the support (on all the topics). I think this just gives me an opportunity to prove myself to a lot of people, starting with myself.

I'm not worried about stealing stiffy's threads either. Temporary bans are somtimes insufficient.

December 17th was the date...

We figured we'd call it off before we were stuck with kids. We'll still be great friends. We were together (and lived together for most of) 4 years.

This thread is almost as good (for a soap opera) as one of our past PWs (junkman).

And it's good to have you back on here too, biker.

Kurt, sorry about your split with Ami. You seemed to love her dearly at the time. Glad to know you guys still have a good relationship nevertheless.

I'm here everyday, but just don't contribute that much anymore.

My PPD dropped below 10 so I'm officially out of the running for PW status.

Mine is around the 3 range as of late. Kinda sad really. I used to contribute so much more. Working now really cuts into my AZ time.
