Default The long drive back from illinois

Ok guys, i got my car, and let me tell you, that car is AWESOME!! i love it more and more everytime i get in it. I drove from springfield illinois friday morning to new mexico, took 17 hours.. slept at midnight, woke up at 6 and drove back home.. arrived in phx at around 2. the drive from flagstaff is fun, going 90 back, the handling is great! The car had a weird long antenna on it, but i got the normal antenna today. =) the car is in perfect condition besides the stupid windshield that got cracked, a suburban popped up a rock 5 MILES AWAY FROM THE LOOP 101, and cracked it.. very disappointing, but shit happens.. so let me just tell you some pros and cons about this car i noticed from the 24 hour drive.. you guys obviously know, but just wanted to say whats on my mind about this awesome car..
Pros- Handles awesome and makes the long drive not so unbearable.
- the top down feels so good
- the seats hug me perfectly =)
- the sound of the engine just gets better and better
- the hid's are awesome, very bright and i could see very easily on the drive

Cons- With the top up, really BAD blind spot on the left
- couldnt recline the seat back of course cuz its two seater, but i wish i could of when it was my dads turn to drive so i could take a more comfortable nap

Alright guys, hope to see you guys around, i love this car!!

Congrats on the purchase. Now, go get your VIN, and update your sig so it reflects you as a owner. Let the modding begin. Lookf forward to seeing you on the next drive.

Congrats on the new purchase. I feel your pain about the windshield, I got a cut on my sidewall on the drive to biosphere and had to turn around and limp home, of course it was my rear to make matters worse.

i just fix the problem by leaning forward and looking in my side mirrors before i make a lane change. doing so lets you see that nasty blind spot.

I got the MUZ mirror earlier this summer and it definitely improves the blind spot. Then, I would say get the supercharger.

well im getting used to the blind spot now.. i just pay more attention to cars behind me and side of me. at first it bothered me because i would have to lean forward, but im used to it now. i love driving with the top down, i can see everything perfect. =) i dont think ill ever get another car thats not a convertable, it feels so good, esp. the afternoon weather.. i love it.. =) i dunno about the supercharger, if i had the money i would.. im broke cuz of this car, i dont even know how i afforded putting 2500 into the rsx, i wish i had taht money to mod this car.. but i guess its gonna hafta wait.. besides the s2000 is a REAL NICE looking car even stock. i just cant seem to get enough of this car, every time i go in the garage and see taht car with the top down, makes me wanna go drive! =) and in the morning, im actually not so tired anymore becuase i get to spend some quality time with my new baby! =)
