You can get a new liner. I was looking for part numbers last night for a few items, and www.hondaautomotiveparts.com will sell individual hardtop pieces separate.

Once you find what you need, I'm sure hardtopguy will source the part(s) for you.

Thanks for the Link Cyclon36! I will take everyone's advice and see if I can get my hands on one. From hardtopguy or my dealer.

As for selling the car... I just don't think I want a newer one right now. The '06s don't have enough to make me one to start another car payment when this one will be up in May. Besides then I can start modding it.

I figure I go in waves of good/bad luck every few years so I think I'm due for a good wave.

As for my 17 year old (he a little taller than 17" but not much) He's now 19 and a Royal Pain in the A**. I will give him away for free but you gotta come pick him up. Preferrably in the middle of the night. Bring gloves his bathing habits leave much to be desired.

The rest of my life? Actually it pretty much mirror's my S2K experience.

Here's are two more highlights


The Good:

How I got my current job (5+ years): An old friend called out of the blue to ask if I was still working with "computers"

She introduced me to a Sr. Director for a Maryland based security company who needed consultants for national/international travel.

I got the job which represented a 35% raise.

Since then I have been all over the country and the world and the stock options have gone through the roof.

The Bad:

Eight years ago I was driving on I-95 and (I think) I fell asleep at the wheel. Hit a pylon on the divider and then veered hard right across four lanes of traffic. I was wearing my seat belt but took out the side window with my head. Disoriented and ignoring others assurances to stay with my car I went back to the road and managed to flag down an 18 wheeler flat bed... With my body. He was traveling at 45 mph when I was hit. The only reason I am still alive is I stuck to the truck's grill.

Well, 20 hours of surgery and two and a half months in the hospitol and I was back to work with more metal in my body then most piearcers ever dream about...

I was not going to mention this at first, but with your luck I thought otherwise. Deer mice can have a deadly organism called Hantavirus. It can infect humans when dried droppings are spread into the air, often while cleaning up after the buggers. It might be best to check if this is an issue in your area. It was first found in the Southwest, but has been present in other areas of the country. The solution to the problem is to use a mask and wet down the nasty stuff before clean up. Good luck.

^Yeah go get yourself checked out just for the heck of it. With your luck you will probably find out you have cancer in the process . Hopefully things turn around for you
