Careful of traction below 40 degrees. Enjoy an amazing car.

Learn the limits of adhesion quick by practicing, if you are used to FWD on your lude, this is a different handling car.

Be very aware of your shifting until you get used to it. Its easy to find yourself 2 gears below what you were intending to shift to.

I'm good, I've read enough of the stories to be in the right frame of mind driving the car this time of year. If there's even an inkling of rain or snow the car just sits since I still have my Prelude. It's just such a nice car that I cant resist cruising around when I have the chance. GOD I CANT WAIT FOR THE SPRING/SUMMER/FALL!!!!!! Actually what I've been trying to do is see what kind of MPG I can get. I'm thinking 25+ since most of it is roundtown miles right now.

Took it out today just to get it inspected (state and insurance) and back to the Prelude for a week or more since the 10 day forecast is absolute crap again.
