Default End of an Era

Sold my '05 Rio today.

The degenerative disks in my neck just won't allow me to drive her; I was in severe pain after 30 miles or so.

Been a wonderful ride! 10 years and 4 S2000s. If my spine gets fixed, ever, I'll be back for sure.

Best wishes to all my friends in Vintage, and I hope everyone drives safely!

Dave

Thanks, Deb and Levi! My hope is to get this spine problem repaired and to be able to come back in another S, or at least another sports car. Time will tell if this is possible; I go for my next round of steroid injections Monday. Still not sure why the S hurts so much to drive and the Fit does not - gotta be something postural.
