chill brah, i'm just playin.

FWIW, trans temps definitely mean something depending on what car you have and what you're doing (ie towing).

Hardly mad, brochacho. Some drivers want data, others don't.

Is it the most important thing to have? Nah.

Would it be nice without going through the hassle of installing new sensors? Absolutely.

The real question is - why didn't the S2000 come with a dash table?

I would have been happy with a glove box.

The so called neck breaking compartment.

let's just say when they designed the s2000 in the 90s, Honda never thought about how fast the technology (like phones) would advance this fast.

We in MN don't have to carry registrations... I keep proof of insurance in my wallet along with license.

Only nice thing would be to have a good place to put sunglasses.

Honda still isn't thinking about it.

With the Fiat version potentially getting a turbo Abarth model, I think you're onto something.
I'm curious if they have any plans to fit the 2.5 engine into it.

I'm actually fond of Mazda's styling. Just not a big fan of the rear when you look at it dead on. The 2.5 would be great! Dunno about the Fiat version... besides the likely higher price, I'm not a fan these renders:





They're both different, yeah. But I'm not a fan of anything I've seen so far.

^ Not a fan of either render.
I didn't really like the ND styling when it first debuted, but it's grown on me tremendously.

I believe that this particular stretch of freeway is cursed.

This exact same stretch of the 15 North between Miamar Rd & Scripts Valley has claimed 3 windshields of mine over the course of 3 years - not exaggerating.

First 2 were from the carpool lane construction and this one was random

It was its time to go anyways, very pitted and already had 3 other tiny chips from mountain runs / track days

the angle of the S2000 windshield lends itself to being fucked by chips and rocks and frozen mosquitoes. I didn't fight city hall and let them put in safelite stuff...hopefully it holds up well.

in other news...I have to be honest with myself...I need a new top...the material is really flimsy.

Y'all ninjas already know I'll be tackling myself.

On the way to work

It's humid as fawk in the morning and I don't want to be drenched in sweat and reek when I get to work. Before leaving work, I change into a t-shirt and gym shorts and go with the top down
