I'll tell you what...
for everything I did to that car to make it smooth and reliable...there's a part of me that will miss the 2.0t in a manual...
the door actuators and door lock cylinder and window switches were annoying in that they worked when they felt like it...
that said, once I got it on the road and would drive around it did drive really smoothly and well and there are aspects I'd miss...
for what I had into it was no big deal to keep and enjoy but really...it was still $700 a year to insure and of all my vehicles, it was the weakest link.
I love daily in the Volvo...S2000 when I'm feeling frisky...Yukon when I want to feel like I'm in my living room going 80 mph...and of course J's Van for
family outings (although the kids sometimes ask if we can take the Yukon). In then end it was another vehicular mouth to feed and I was one blown
engine or spent clutch job cost away from going from a hero to a zero for that purchase.
I also learned a valuable lesson...no matter the deal on the car, the color has to be something desirable for resale. In white or another color it would
have been gone long ago although I liked the brown.
In addition I sold it to a guy and his son that were very knowledgeable about these and he was very excited to drive it and take it home. We agreed on a
price that I could live with that made him happy and I am certain I'll keep in touch with them. Fun fact, the son actually came to the last meet at Acura
and had taken pictures of my S2000 too.
Car scene really brings us all together!

Congrats J on closing another fun car experience. Were you able to break even on it? Seems like with letting two rides go lately you might be ready for another project.
