Who was the first? Ross?
Yeah Ross rode in my car at my first AutoX and was impressed with the car. A week or two later he's telling me he got rid of the Teg and got a Sebring S2000 ... hahahah ...

awesome thanks. Now I get to see how yoko es100's handle...

It's a honda certified so they replaced the windshield (ppg) and put new tires on, I wish they put s02's on but oh well.
I can give you a quick headsup on how ES100 handle-- like crap. They are a decent 3 season street tire but do not have nearly the stick of an S02 or RE050 for example. Just burn them up at the autoX and get yourself a decent set of 3 season tires for next year (S02s, RS212 etc).

Did they put 205/55-16 and 245/45-16s or did they screw up and put a 225/50-16 on the back? If the latter, be prepared for a pretty loose tail.

Sadly, I agree. Even at 245 on the rear, the rearend is fun for a while- breaks traction when leaving a light and turning right. But after that, it's annoying.

The joy of ownership will most likely get you through this time.

Welcome to "less than fair" weather...and RWD . Be careful with your new purchase. She doesn't like rash inputs when the roads are not dry .
