Well, the car is home safe and sound. I took my time driving her home and after about 60 minutes I think I've got a pretty good 'feel' for it. Going from a Ford Explorer to the S was a bit of an adjustment! It is an absolute blast to drive, I can't imagine how much more fun it'll be once the weather warms up and I can drop the top. I stopped for gas on the way home (yes I rembered to put 93 in) and both attendants were outside looking at the car and then started asking me a bunch of questions about it. "What kind of car is that my friend?" "Oh, its just a little Honda," I said sheepishly . I can't believe how many people stare at you whilst driving it. I'm not used to so much attention from a car it's kind of funny but I think I could get used to it .

When I got home I showed to to my fiance. She is more of an 'American Muscle' fan and has owned a Firebird but once she got behind the wheel of the S and took it for a spin around town she is absolutely sold. I'm afraid she might need her own as I think she's 'plotting' to borrow it next weekend.

 

Any pics?

 

I didn't have time to wash it yesterday so I'll update with pics this evening.

 

Congrats on the purchase. I feel like my S is my affordable dream car as well. I drove about 70mi to get mine too.

 

welcome!

 

Camera battery was dead, I'll try again to tonight. Drove it to work this morning, taking the long way through the forest preserve and Oak Park, what an absolute JOY this car is to drive!! I my S!
