My RL is Estivating

Snow is gone..... S2000 is awake from hibernation. I have to swap my RL's winter gear for its summer shoes. Life is good

You really put the RL to sleep during the summer?

Great word! I haven't heard that one since a college biology class many, many years ago.

Do you use fuel stabilizer to avoid estivation-induced constipation?

Yes, but that's why you buy an S2000. The good noises (engine at 8-9k rpm) outweigh the bad noises (lots of road noise with the top up.

I didn't realize driving became centered around noise. And road noise is the fault of the car...

blah blah, RL rulez!

I alternate but I try to use the S as much as possible. I reserve the RL for stormy weather and long drives by myself. The RL is my "winter car" more or less. For family outings we use the MDX.

Yup, that's what I was doing with my RL while I had it. I drove the RL on rainy days and the S on the other days during warm weather, and used the wife's Pilot for family trips. Of course, now I have to decide between the V and the S.

That's not really a choice.

The question is, when do you sell the S?

I swap tires too!!!! I just swapped the RL's winter tires, for the summer rubber! Next year the MDX gets winter shoes too. Even with AWD the cornering and stopping of dedicated snow tires is well worth it in WI!
