BudMan is back...
Okay, some of you will call me a flake, but that's okay. I met with some of the local guys last weekend during a motor swap & they convinced me I would regret my decision to sell...
They are right. I've taken my R off the market. It may not get driven much this year, but I kept looking at other cars & I always came to the same decision = this car is quicker, faster & more fun to drive (yes - I have driven alot of different cars in my day).
Thanks to the KC Crew for kickin my but & calling
to my feelings after a long cold winter.
Thanks also to everyone who posted in my thread: https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1
Memories are worth more than the price of a car. I said I didn't need the $$, so what was I thinking??

most of us grow so attached to this car its like a family member. we put so much into them and learn every facet that makes them tick, its hard to part with that. I cant wait for mine to be stock again so I can appreciate it for what it is out on the track.

Good decision.
Save up your money and buy a luxury all around daily commuter to the office so you can get best of both world. It makes you more appreciate the simple rawness of the R on the weekends.

I've had a Denali & now with the new 4Runner (wifey drives) I still have our '98 TL 3.2 to drive to work. I only drive the R on very special nice days on the street...you can imagine what a dork I look like in a suit and a race car.
Tartje - sorry dude, but I can't come to the Expo this year. Timing is everything. Perhaps next year I'll be able to schedule the Expo again.

Re: (actionanh)
What else can I say other than I sprained my foot as I was kicking you in the butt. 
I am glad that there will be more good times in store for you and the R.
Andrew, it was a spur of the moment thing again.... but I am begining to think you are developing a complex or something.
I promise that when we get together with the batches in Omaha I'll call you.
