That will be included with it. I'm waiting on grand total right now....
Interesting. Now you got me curious how much you can get one for new.
Was 3k, Len's price?
No, Len can't get them. He only get's Honda parts for Acura's. Not Honda parts for say the S, civic and such.
Thats wierd. My honda dealership can get ANY Aucra part or acces...

When I was looking at getting the AC control unit for the hatch, first thing I thought of was him. He said he couldn't do it. Dunno if he was being lazy, or really can't in his system. I dunno. I thought the same as you guys, it's still a honda part number. They may not have them in stock, but I was almost certain they could get them.

Yes but I also have to factor in going to get it. So gas/hotel stay for a day and return. I figure probably around 300ish for that.
why not ship? too big/chance of damage?

I'd have to check the rates, but I would presume it's going to be about the same in price. And your right, BIG chance of damage. I'd have to freight that one on either DHL or FedSux.

Same situation, substitute GS for Gheylude

But if I got an S, I'd want to DD it year-round, because I'd hate every minute I was in a cheap beater knowing the much more expensive S was just sitting there. Yes, I've been checking out snow tires and winter driving experiences "over there" and S2Ki.com

Speaking of getting a new car, back to the job search

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Especially in 3-4 inches of fresh snow

Its not practical in the least, but thats not the point of the car. For what it is, a driver's car, it really is that great. For nothing other than pure all out driving it is phenominal.

I'd go with Mothers for at least your wax. Longer lasting protection and a much better shine. IMO

Exactly, but if I do get one, I'm taking it hunting at least once! I bet I can get 3 deer on that hood!!!!

What you may have to do is have body shop buff it out. Mine was needing this and all the hand polishing in the world wouldn't take out the oxidation.

I guess thats what kills it for me. Not saying that the R is better, performance wise. But I can drive my car from here to FL, and be comfy doing it. My friend (Dave's size) drove his S from here to FL and hated it! And I had to carry his suit case

I also drove out to VIR with him, there wasnt even room to have a cd case in the cabin!

Performance wise I think its a good car. IMO, refuse to have a car I cant drive anywhere, in any condition...

Exactly. It just depends on what you want. Like all good driver's cars its not for everyone.
