Default What's the longest you've been w/o your ITR?

OR... car in general!?

purchased: 12/13/03
wrecked: 12/17/03

It's been 19 days and the ETA for repairs is 01/10/04 at the latest!

So come the 10th, I will have owned my VTEC machine for 29 days and it's been in the shop for 24 days! Ahaha, I'm going nuts!

Winter storage, a little over 6 months I would say.

They were not the same ...
There will most likely never be a "replacement" for #236!

About 6 months. That's about the duration between 00-0055 fbp and #50 CW. It sucked. I drove a heavy GST Eclipse and actually autocrossed it with "Winston" tires. I should of saved my $20 that day . It was tough without the R. Driving to work wasn't the same. I'd rather be owned by payments instead of by boredom. Did I mention the GST is for sale? Good luck getting your S2K back. Those silver ones are bad-*** (drove next to one today in the R actually).

Note: rambling due to excessive St. Ides consumption last evening (yummy)

The only time I have been without it since I purchased it was when it went into the shop. It has been as long as a month and a half. This time it's running on two weeks.

One thing I have noticed is that with no R, my TV watching and video game playing has gone up ten fold.

The longest I have been without my R was a little over 3 weeks when it got a new shortblock. I don't think I could have stood it much longer especially since I had to drive a ford escort rental car which was insanely expensive. I will have to do it again for about 2 weeks when I get all my bodywork done.

7 days for me probably, when i got a little body work done and new paint.

for you guys storing your car for the winter it's good to let it go through the warm up cycle like once a week
