Yup, you can surely miscle your way through it, but there is also a smarter way to go about it....I say smart way is better for the long run...and muscling your way through it is the short cut and gives shorter gratificaiton...

Thanks for all the input. The sale is complete for my 2nd S2000. I'll be going to pick up the car tomorrow morning! A little smooth talking and some persistance got it done. Oh...and a few future promises of slave labor in the future.

What she doesn't see coming are the future modification costs(What she doesn't know at this point won't hurt her).

Tell her it is a sports car or a mistress... That is what mine thought.




Now she is sorry I did not get the mistress instead. She would have taken up less of my time and cost far less. Mods cost big bucks.

Tell her it'll help you pick up chicks. I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

Sell the RSX privately and buy the 04/05 - it's the same car basically without the hassle of drive by wire and you can upgrade it easier (already has returnless fuel system).

You'll save money, not lose money on the devaluation of a new car, and your wife will be happy. You'll have plenty of money left over for a turbo

I make it sound like I'm whipped. That's not the case. I could buy the car without permission, but it's just not worth it. I think I'm almost there.

Thanks for the input.
