Default I love my R, I can't sell it!

This topic has absolutely no info in it at all, but just wanted to tell everyone that I came very close to selling my R but just couldn't do it. I have always said I would never ever sell my car, but I guess I was just either itching to get a new car or loved my car so much that I couldn't stand seeing it not get tracked. Anyway, I'm sure some of you had seen my ad in the classifieds and I'm damn glad I wasn't about to sell it at a low price otherwise I wouldn't have the R still. After converting my car back to stock, it's almost like having a new car. hehe Actually feels like a luxury car after taking off the neuspeed upper strut bar and putting on the stock rims. Driveability a lot better as well after putting back the stock intake and exhaust parts, but definitely miss the top end rush. Looks like it's time for the Hi-Tech now that I already sold my Spoon. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't have to leave Honda Tech.

Gordon - for staying with your R! Are you sure you wanted to sell me your steering wheel? Man, now I feel bad for almost taking it away from you. Yeah, stick around with us... ITR's forever.

Neither would I. The R is like a Turbo Porsche. So wrong for so, so many people. And Sooooooo right for a fortunate few

Nah, never would sell out to a Supra, too much of a boat after driving the R. Just was planning on tracking the R after buying a house and it's been taking awhile to get a house, so thought I would sell the R and buy the DC5R when I eventually got the house since it seems like such a waste to not track it. Just couldn't sell it, came close, but couldn't do it. It was too much a part of me to let go. Too many hours working on it can do that to you. Not to mention, most cars just feel like **** after driving the R.

It took awhile, but the key was just driving it hard for a day. Then it's grin for days and when you get into another lesser car, it's automatically a POS. Just can't live without the nimbleness and major handles.

I had the same problem too about selling the ITR and getting a S2K, but now I change my mind and plan on keeping the car. I didn't drive my car for about 2-weeks, due to a business trip and when I got back and drove her again. It was like the first day I got to bring her home and now I glad that I didn't sale her. Even, if owning a ITR is a hassle in my life because of haters/thieves can't drive/park anywhere. Because you risk having the chance of your car being stolen for someone can't afford one in the first place or they want your car parts .

ITR
