Default Time to say so long.

Well, all my mods have been sold and shipped, and the deposit for my S arrived yesterday, so I have every reason to believe that the garage queen will only be here a very short time.

Just wanted to say that this forum taught me so much about our cars and that it is a fantastic group of people.

I will miss my S very much as I can't imagine that there is a better handling, more fun to drive car, than the Honda Roadster.

Sixteen months being unemployed and only racking up 500 miles on the car this year are the main reasons I'm selling. I also learned that although convertibles look great I'd rather have a roof over my head. Perhaps a NSX is in my future once I get working again, or maybe I should just let the wife work and retire at 38

Always remember to keep the revs up, brake late, turn early, and power out of the turn.

It's been a excellent ride.

See you around.

I'm more sorry to hear you've been unemployed for so long than losing the S. A job is definitely more important. The sooner you get another job, the sooner you get your well deserved NSX. I'll pray that it won't take long before you do. Good luck!

It was good talking with you HondaFan. Still feel free to catch up with us in the next Indiana S2000 meet, I'm sure there will be some empty seats for ya.

ahaha.. I thought I retired at age 32 and let my wife work.......... but somehow I decided to work again..... Since you have free time, this is when you buy rental houses that need small amounts of work..... then you rent them through Section 8..... then you can retire when they are paid off.... (10 years).
