the more and more i see the S parked, the more I miss power steering working and defrost/heater blower working so I could actually DD the thing. Put it on a todo list somewhere to fix those things.
S'up Mac.

Hey dagle. Just got back from a round the world trip for 8 months. I forgot how good my car looks and drives 
Looks are thanks to you of course. I still use the rope regularly that you tied up the front lip with.

Car's looking good, I wish I could say the same for mine. Mine's chugging along but beginning to age from neglect. Bumper's paint is fading/cracking and I can't wash the car because of our drought situation.Also, what is it you do for a living again that allows you to leave for 8months? Lol please tell me that you're in software too haha

Didn't make it to the states sadly, next time though.
I'm in printing but had someone manage it for me while i was away
Have you tried those waterless wash things? Have a few times and they're alright.

I have, but hadn't found the motivation until I noticed the paint condition unfortunately. Thankfully only the bumper had the fade. If stores are open tomorrow, I'll buy a new clay bar and give the car a proper wax. I'll save a full detail for when my EVO's out of my garage.

I have an obnoxious metal on metal rattle every now and then, possibly the header shield. Too lazy to look. Or maybe it's a pulley despite the fact I already changed out my belt, idler pulley and tensioner. I can hear the noise a little longer when I run a/c.
also buffed out a spot on the edge of the bumper in front of the passenger headlight were some dumb little lady in a big suv decided to cut me off as I'm sitting still in the turn lane waiting to pull out. Apparently she thought Hardee's was going to close and had to almost run me over to get there...I had thought I needed to get it repainted, I could feel the step in the worn area, but it wasn't down to the plastic or even beyond the clear coat. Looks better than before, so much that I had to finish polising that whole section of the bumper because where I did polish came out looking new and was apparent. I'm thinking her trucking having a smooth chrome bumper helped lessen the damage dealt.
dumb drivers every day and I seem to avoid accidents all the time, but it's really hard to avoid an accident when you're not moving and someone tries tackling you from the side...

Unless it comes from a reliable source (Honda), I don't even pay any attention to the rumors.

Re: I'm sorry mods... I think we need a rambling thread.
Sup slootz. I think I'm finally giving in. My clutch is becoming too difficult to drive in traffic. Got rear-ended a few weeks ago and my daily driver was totaled out. With the EVO not in commission yet, the S is my main mode of transport. With that said, and the shear amount of miles on my tranny (205k), I think it's time to part ways. So what kind of clutch should I get next? :p
btw, **** u slootz.
