Well, there won't be any pics from the MOD swap today at Antrim Honda in Greensburg, PA. Since we discovered that Tom's tires are 17" and my OEM AP1 wheels are 16", that part of the "swap" didn't make any sense.

Thus, Tom is going to have the Supersprint exhaust, sway and strut braces removed and will store 'em in his barn for me. I'll pick up in the spring and have the stuff installed locally by my mechanic.

So...after today, Tom717 will no longer have an S2000...after at least 8 years of happy ownership. He's been a good friend for all of those years and we will definitely keep in touch with him and Susan. Tom is the one on the left

Didn't Tom have the only Laguna Blue in Vintage? Well, the only one that came to meets, anyway.
