No doubt, the older I get the more I find myself disliking this place. The weather, food, family and friends are barely enough to keep me around anymore.

This place is basically hell for a gun owner

Sorry, I can't hear you under the pile of money crushing us with a $1.6B budget surplus here in MN.

I'll give you Mexican food but the only part of winter that really pisses me off is walking by the S on the way to the Jeep every day for 6 months.

Other than that, it's not so bad. Sure there are the few days a year when it's so cold you can't feel your face but overall it's not horrible at all.

Nah, I'm good here.

And yes, please do. You'll most likely get a very different response from me.

My gun is legal. I remove the "shoulder thing that goes up" and now I'm a felon, despite my gun being no less or more lethal! Bet you can't do that in your state :o

Yeah, the food mayne. It ain't authentic unless they have Spanish language banda music in the background.

Can't do what? Be a felon for owning an unmodified gun? Then no, I can't do that.

More than likely. The fronts still have lots of life left and I'd like to keep the same tire all around. Plus I'm happy with the way they perform. My Dunlops on the Q have started to cup after 16k miles so I'm thinking of picking up a set of 20s in Sumitomo as well. How do you like them on the wagon?

Honestly, no complaints...easier to light up than the Michelin PSS but obviously with that much torque...
you already know.
I'd get them again, for sure.

I need to replace tires on the S2k this year ... definitely considering Hankook RS variant again.

Great tire for the money.

So many beads, you'd think she went topless all the time...



Also, I'm running Potenzas on mine, they seem quite good. I don't think you can really go all that wrong on higher end tires these days.

Agreed.

I haven't been in the market for tires in a few years, but usually the price point on Hanook RS will be cheaper than Potenzas and significantly cheaper than PSS.

Drove S to work today and tried to roll down the windows on the way. Passenger side doesn't roll down, start thinking oh fuck something broke. Pull into lot, put top down and windows all go down like normal so motor and power are ok. Leave the car with passenger window open (late for morning meeting) and start googling on the way to the door. Someone suggests making sure the child window lock thing is off.

FUCK!

Run back to car, flip switch, all is fine.

Why the hell does this car even have a window lock out?

I remember back when I had my 3G (holy shit .. just realized this was 8 years ago), I posted a thread on AZ asking why my windows wouldn't roll down.

Yeah ... problem solved.

Happened to me last year after I installed new speakers. Top down and headed to target. Got there and passenger window doesn't go up. Left it down.

Thought maybe a plug wasn't plugged in correctly so went home and removed door panel to check. Alll good. Still confused. After a few choice words, noticed that window lock button.

I worked for a Houston Honda dealer in college (service porter/carwash) & we had an S2k come in for passenger window inop. Rainy day, so it was parked in the shop. Customer had been gone about 10 minutes & I asked the svc writer if it was just the window lockout. I wonder what they charged the guy, a tech never touched the car.
