Easy!
With just 5 maxed out credit cards, 3 mortgages on the house, 1 maxed out personal line of credit and 6 unpaid payday loans, all you had to do was sign your name on the dotted line!
Or or just be responsible with your money, but who does that these days?

"he" as in "you".
Was that not clear? I'm confused. Where am I? What the hell am I doing here?
No but really, I just find it humorous that after posting countless pics of your plates, you go to the effort of covering them up
hers I can understand... But not yours!

Well, I specifically took the picture to post on the cts forum, where I've never posted anything. B flipped when I posted her plate yesterday since I didn't ask. So I erased hers and it looked foolish with mine not erased. That's all. Nothing more to read into.
Trust me, if it was financially irresponsible...I would not even have the car. I turned down a very fair deal for only a few grand more...I found a deal that was below my FUCK NO threshold and had the wife's support...I figured if not now, when!?!?
Plus, I knew that I could flip it and get all my money back and maybe even a little extra for the trouble if I decided to walk. Notice, I haven't listed the TL-S or the S2000 (
I know) yet.

That is awesome stuff. I might have to try some Wolfgangs stuff. Been using Griots always.
I don't believe you will sell the S. The Vagon and S make a perfect combo of cars.

I really did!
LOL...
I wish, but no...wife won't let me keep the 3G. I'm gonna list it shortly...package deal more than likely with all the goodies.
I figured I can always get a clean 6MT 3G if I ever miss it...the wagon and the S2000 will be much harder.
B's SRX is a srx4 too...so pretty soon I'll be able to claim our entire stable is FWD free
Hey Jason...they grow up quick, man! I'll wait!

Sounds like a good plan. I am sure they do grow up fast.
My stable will never be FWD free though. I hope I will still be able to find a clean S2000 in a few years once the V is paid off. The way everyone around here talks about one makes me feel like I need to experience one for a few years of my life.

To be honest I love cars that handle amazing and feel like they are on rails when driving tight twisty roads compared to cars with huge amounts of power. I love both but the former is more fun to me.

There's nothing comparable.

Because of that I am seriously considering looking into either an Elise or an S2000 as the next toy. As much as I say I want another V... I'm thinking another canyon carver is the way I am going to go. I have time to decide, but I'm with you Jason... less about power, more about quickness and finesse...

Shiiiiet... I'll be the first to admit that driving experience wise, for the price, nothing really comes close to the s2000. Just add an air intake- nothing else- and the sound will fill your ears with the most intoxicating engine and VTEC symphony of life. Seriously, it's harmonic bliss.
The interior- man, a decade later and I think it is still one of the sharpest and purpose built interiors Honda has ever made. No nonsense, but top quality materials and fit and finish. My 2007 Miata had NOTHING on the s2000.
Oh, and don't buy a Miata, unless it already has 10k sunk into it. Even then, I'd still choose the s2000, if my size permitted me to do so. The Miata just simply does not compare.

LOL...
this is why I needed to have the best of both worlds!
I will also say this...in Florida...the most fun you can have is fast from light to light...if I lived on back country roads then maybe a 556hp rwd monster might not be my first choice, although from what I gather, they do handle exceptionally well.

I'll say this too...the same reason we date and date and date before marrying...
I don't want to be a car guy that gets old and dies and has only experienced one kinda car. I wanted to try something new.
NO car is the end all be all car, not the V, not the S, not the 3G, not the Porsche...just like women, some are better at some things than others...
But since HS, I've always wanted a V8 grumble...I've thought about wanting some cool forced induction...I've wanted something more versatile that I can stop at home depot with...I got all that in the V. Along with a smooth riding disconnected feel, terrible gas mileage and heavy AF. It's amazing what it's great at, but it isn't EVERYTHING. Now the S2000...has almost no torque, is loud and annoying...but top down, 6 speed...feels awesome.
Who knows where my journey will take me...maybe next will be something that gets 50 mph to help my with my V PTSD
That's the other thing...the needs and wants of a 20 year old Jeremy are different than a 37 Jeremy.
Also, I learned this from the wheels, you start off with XXR...you sell them for some bucks and pay extra and go up to Konig...you sell those and go to Works or Volks...you don't plop $3000 on a credit card and just YOLO it...don't get all crazy to be first! Pay full price, no matter what. Don't try to keep up with the Jones'...try to keep up with the guy's trying to keep up with the Jones'. It's a matter of fact that the BEST value is a used luxury vehicle (not an RDX elite, let's not get crazy here...we don't all have altegris money). So...wait a few years and build up to it...when I was 20...a $20K car and the payment attached seemed insane and out of reach. But with patience and time...and being financially responsible...you use building blocks to get to he nicer stuff. Now I have the S2000 and TL-S and a decent amount of "equity" if you wanna call it that...V pops up for a fair price, bam, buy it, sell the others and end up with some built equity. Enjoy it for as long as it makes you smile...then flip that and who knows...maybe 10 years from now a used 911 turbo would be within reach...
or maybe I won't care about cars by then and it'll all go to Z's gymnastic outfits.

A girl can't do gymnastics in a full metal suit. I know you prefer her to stay covered up until she's 36, or you're dead (whichever comes first), but it's not all that practical...

This is where I am now as well. I loved the Vagon. And I loooove the AMG. But honeslty, I really miss the Porsche. There's something about being able to just carve up back roads while having the top down and manually rowing through the gears.
Because of that I am seriously considering looking into either an Elise or an S2000 as the next toy. As much as I say I want another V... I'm thinking another canyon carver is the way I am going to go. I have time to decide, but I'm with you Jason... less about power, more about quickness and finesse...

^^^authentic statement, right there!
Damn, you know me...
I thought about it, Jason...but when I was looking at the S2000...the boxster was about 10K more...and felt like I was settling on it, even 2006 with the 3.4L S...Decided I'd rather wait until a 911 Cab was in my budget instead...and until then, the S2000 would do!

I'd suggest parting the wheels out for a separate sale. I dont see anyone willing to pay extra for the awesome wheels on it and alone you could ask upwards of 2G, no? Sell the Advans then boost the S.
