Had a nice ride in the Vortx Sunday morning. Ran into a friend of mine that was out taking pictures. He sent me this today:

Looks like a blast. Is the side exhaust something you have to constantly think about with entry, exit, etc.?

I took a break from changing oil, air cleaners, etc. on the riding mower, walking mower, leaf blower, snow blower, etc. and we went for nice top down drive. Saw a herd of deer, a rabbit, a couple hawks, even had to brake from hitting a wild turkey. Leaves are finally coming out and color is replacing the blahs.

Hasn't been a real problem so far. I do have to be aware of it stepping out of the car, less so getting in.

Sunday. Had to back the car out of the garage so I could get all the salt and leaves and crap that accumulated through the winter. Of course, I parked it outside of the garage and it proceeded to pour. lol... now it's back in the garage, without a car cover sitting until the next day it's nice out so i can wash her.

I've had the S out of the garage and driving around anytime it was over 50 degrees and the roads were clear. Yippee!

yesterday certainly was a sloppy day to get the toy out.
It's been so long since I drove it was like a different car.
noticed some little annoyances though.
I kept trying to upshift at 75-80, I wasn't used to the revs. ( E550 is turning 1700 at that speed)
The S2000 really has a skinny steering wheel.
it needs a bath real bad.....

One of my pet peaves, and a fix I hope to get done this year or next. My daily driver has a thicker steering wheel and it's a station wagon!
