She was removed from hibernation last night and then immediately a new headunit with a Modify controller was installed. The front bumper was taken off to fix the backing for the front license plate plugs (Thanks matt96ex!!). She now has 6504 miles on her.

I have to face the same issue since I live in Florida. I believe it can be too hot for top down only because I see no point in sweating when I have a perfectly working AC system. I also have never understood driving top down + AC since the AC saps power which to me makes the drive that much less fun; so for me if the top is down the AC is never on which equals maximum driving pleasure!

So thankful I live in a place where I don't have to "store" my S. Even though I have only driven mine a few times over the last few months, it's nice to know I can take it out almost whenever I want.

I have done this plenty of times. Usually helps with the swamp ass when it's 100+ out.

This morning a family member shipped his 1971 Boss 351 out for restoration. There is my S2000 making an appearance.

Brought mine out a week or so ago. Looks like I have to replace a suspension bushing, but have a freshly painted front bumper to install and a K&N FIPK to kick off 2013! The time has indeed come.
