I fell in love in Oct '95 when the SSM Concept showed up in AutoWeek
At the time I was driving my '90 CRX-Si and was looking to buy a BMW M-Roadster
I have been active on here for 11+ years
I was planning to buy a new 2001, but the rumors were flying around here about the '02 getting lots of upgrades
I placed my order in Oct '01 for an '02 that had to be delivered in Apr or May
Delivery was 3rd week of Apr '02, Tuesday, and I took Wed as a vacation day
On Thursday morning when I parked the S at work my break-in miles were done, I was up to 750 miles
I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm not on the phone.
I ordered my S with 2 options, the hardtop and the black chrome package
This is my 10th year with the car, I'm at 65k, and it's important to know it was my track car for 7 years
I still have my CRX-Si and just like Rex I have zero intention of ever getting rid of My Spa
____________
I looked this morning, my final purchase price was $34,784, and that included the hardtop and the black chrome package
My sold sticker going onto the car was one of the 1st things that happened to it when it was off-loaded at my dealer's lot.
My salesman called me when the truck pulled into the lot and I left work to go see it right away
An hour after it was mine, I took delivery with the HT on, all dealer installed, and covered under the full car warranty because of that.
The following morning, my 1st whole day with the car, after I got the HT off I installed the front chin spoiler, put the countersunk Voodoo knob on and installed my glove box organizer.
My 1st big mod, done in 2002, custom rollbar built to my specs and design, still one of the best designs done, major height but HT and ST both go over it, full OEM interior preserved, no bar in rear view mirror, and boy oh boy, did it stiffen up the car.
And the way it rolls today
