He's itching for another TL but says no it if I ask him directly.

I've been expecting a video but I'm kinda disappointed that he hasn't posted a video this time.

I also left my bluetooth obd reader in it...he'll need it to reset the coolant temp sensor that decides to stop registering temp whenever.

Thanks Jason...
I had originally added up all the money I spent on insurance, registering and incidentals...if I remove all that and make it just the stuff I fixed and replaced and improved...I broke even just about.

I would remove insurance and registrations for sure. That is just the cost of owning and enjoying an automobile. Glad you mostly broke even. The enjoyment from it makes up for the rest.

Yes boys...
remember I embarked on this because I wanted to be able to drive a manual with Zoe.
My life now dictastes that I can drive the S2000 every day if I really wanted to.

Soon enough Zoe should be allowed to ride in the S2000 anyways right? We can't be that far off from that can we?

When you buy a car from J you surely get the "J" treatment!

you know me too well, Joe...
I had already been looking for one with low enough mileage to tune and a color that could resell easier.
I won't though, not yet...maybe not ever. I think I'd get more bang for the buck with a GTI if i even went that route.

Pretty sure J already knows that. Can't find deals and break even on NEW.

J's entire fleet is almost worth less than a decent new car, sadly.

fuckin Majofo with the pounce!

The only thing I buy is good deals I can get back out of without harm and with room for slight improvements and modifications.
It's the experience I enjoy

GTI would make a great runabout & probably give more smiles/mile than the A3.

technically the A3 was well balanced and the gear box was great...same 2.0 fsi too...
but I'd need lower mileage to tune it...new clutch probably too.

But that, and a TL are off the radar for now...I'm not in need of a car.
Even if I sold 2 MORE cars...I'd technically not be in NEED of a car.

Selling 2 cars implies at the current time you would sell the S2000. I just don't think you should do that.

LOL...I would NOT sell the fucking S2000.
I would sell the Yukon and the Volvo for one fun daily.
but not really...I love the Volvo for daily duties and I still enjoy the rolling living room as well.
