Default What do you do on a rainy Saturday morning?

When I got up this morning, it was grey and rainy. So much for my plans for a long top down drive. So, now what?

I'd change the oil, but I did that 750 miles ago. I'd rotate the tires, but we don't do that, and I'd wash and wax the S in the garage but I hardly had it out all week, and I waxed it last week.

So, how do we (my son Adam and I) get to spend some time with our S today?

I went to the local Honda dealer and picked up a brochure of the 04 s2k, to add to the collection of the other 4.

up in my country , instead of haveing the saturday rain we have extreme dust or extreme humidity, sometimes but rarly rain though
if i was to do something to my car , i got a few options: clearing the corners of the car(naked corners) , debadging the car for that clean look
maybe even clean the soft top from all that dust we get
paint the calipers (but i think you already did this)
get a leather conditioner and wipe the leather and clean it(on of my favs)
if not the car then i would usually play playstation, sit at the computer, meet at a friends house...etc
have fun!

I've had my S less than two months and been blessed with clear weather the entire time. Today was foggy and chilly though so I put the top up for the first time. It's nice and cozy in the cockpit. I'd go for a drive anyway.

You race Rob, you race. On Friday night you pack the car with the race essentials. You get up at 6:30, shower, eat cereal, put the drinks in the cooler, make sure you have a waterproof poncho and drive to the race. And then you race!

Best way to learn what your car does in the rain at the limits.

Best way to teach your son how to control a car in the rain and why you should slow down in the rain.

You race!

I love this stuff!!!

Well Rob,

I installed an electric winch in the attic today, so that I can get the heavy things stored in the attic with no hassle. It will make it a lot easier to get my extra set of snow tires/wheels up and down. I was also able to get my stock exhaust system up there and out of the way today. This turned out to be more of a job than I had planned on, but the results were worth it.

Bob
