Sorry if the answer to my question is buried somewhere in your 10-11 pages of posts.... but Do you just need cash?
or
Would you have cash + your car to trade for my 2001 Acura Integra Type R -Phoenix Yellow # 01-0154?
I am very impressed with your car...honestly not crazy about the turbo...but ohhh what a feeling!!! I'm sure it must be to summons the burst of speed.
And honestly, this is just ignorance...but how do you avoid having turbo generated heat damage your block or head or other mechanical aspects of your aluminum engine?
Is it true that Turbo shortens life span of engine? or are there legitimate ways to counteract that?
How many more months until your beautiful car will be able to roll on salt free Michigan roads?
If your in construction... why don't you move south where people are moving and therefore a large amount of construction work is available? Perhaps yes in some regions... you need to fala espanol to be the Superintendent / Foreman..., but there are also pockets of bubba built homes (honestly this is another language of dialect) but. there is a ton of residential and industrial building activity and opportunity everywhere from North Carolina - Alabama. and the whether does not suck. You may be slowed some by spring rains... but not big drag on the demand for new houses and industrial buildings.
And you have amazing road courses on which to drive your screaming honda rocket...like Road Atlanta, Roebling Road, VIR, Barber Mortorsports park, Carolina Motorsports park... not even to mention the Florida flattracks like Sebring and Daytona or Charlotte Motor speedway and more to come.
Just giving you something to consider... Your wonderful car could get out and play approximately 275-325 days a year if you kept it out of the rain. If your just trying to avoid hail or frost, then you could drive it approximately 335-345 days per year.
Find a way to get yourself and that great car out of the cold and snowy and salty north and enjoy ample construction work opportunities as well as driving opportunities on roads that will not rattle and jolt your car to pieces. Poor roads and pot holes that cause Bent Rims are something you have to work real hard to find.
Get that car out of the cold and snowy and salty north and it sells in hours or days vs weeks or months. I can not buy a car I can not test drive. I can not test drive a car like yours on snowy or salty roads. Do you know the security guards at the mall? so I can test drive it between Sears and JC Penneys between 10pm and 6am?
Just giving you something to consider...
oh, and check out my car... it's a bit heavier... but it is the Honda Engineers factory creation of a great car that will deserve a lot of respect for many years.

This is truly one of the Honda / Acura focused events
at one of the greatest tracks east of the Missisippi.
a little towards the rural or remote areas of Virginny
where some folks still have not fully admitted defeat or retreat
from that fairly major confllict that raged in the 1860s,
but where over 150 screaming Hondas and Acuras will circulate on 3.27 miles of high caliber and high quality road coarse with many fine attributes including the east coast version of the Laguna Sega Cork Screw followed by (only in the south) Hogpen bend.
(The big difference between the somewhat similar highspeed downhill sweeping right hander @ Road Atlanta... is that @ VIR you have runoff area instead of the unmoving and unsympathetic cement wall at the bottom of the high speed sweeper @ Road Atlanta... and then you need that speed for the big uphill on the far end of the straight, whereas at VIR you have a longer dog leg straight by max deceleration before going into the long sweeping 180 degree turn on which well driven light weight cars that handle and brake well can embarass high hp v8 / v10 & v12 monsters.
There are uphill Esses that when done right make you feel every bit as good as Scott Pruett or Adrian Zanardi or Ayrnton Senna (perhaps with a bit of an overinflated ego), but go with it and enjoy the thrill and the extreme need for extreeme deceleration before entering the set up turns prior to Oak Bend Curve.
Dont' take my word for it... find some high quality video on the web and sit next to someone who can cover the track in awesome lap times. This is a track you need ot be at, and if you worship at the church of screaming Honda precision engineered powerplants matched with great handling chassis that combine to make for outrageously affordable motorsports fun... then pick your Honda or Acura and GET IN THE GAME! The ITRCA Expo # 7 is your next best opportunity to find out what you are missing. It is time to live a little! Put a little effort into understanding what all the fuss is about!
Happy Motoring!
