Until you walk out with the keys anything is still possible. Until you do so, the deal is not done.

I live in Denver and have an affection for RWD sport sedans, so I’ve flown to Georgia for my last two Lexus GS’s (‘11 GS460, ‘15 GS350). But that’s on the used market, not new, and I can be in Georgia on a Saturday morning and pulling into Denver Sunday night. My ‘00 NSX was in Queens NY, that one took 3 days to drive

The deal isn’t done until the keys are in your hand, so the term still applies.

Your biggest weapon is the ability to walk.

“Why is Honda not building more Civic Type R models? I have searched and searched in 100 miles radius of my area and every time, I only find 4 to 5 Type Rs for sale and they all have a markup of 4K to 10K.”

My issue isn’t with an inability to fix the issue after their customers are subjected to it. Although that appears to be part of the problem with these transmissions.

I’m on a 15 year plan. Year 0-5, buy ‘06 S2000, pay it off, and make a little profit. Year 6-10, trade up to ‘00 NSX, pay it off, make a LOT of profit. Year 11-15, trade up to ‘21 NSX. I’m in year 8 right now. Also if they never targa the new one, plan’s off (gotta have a drop-top).

Well, I think a refit of the 1GR is in order - specifically for direct injection. A 4.0 DI 1GR could probably hit 300hp/300ft-lb and gain a little ground on the MPG front.

The fun rabbit hole this photo led me down:

I’ve seen a bunch of Infiniti suv on a yard once and the guy explained that there has been a derailment, and that the RR doesn’t take insurances

It’s an industry-wide issue.

My Honda’s were all made in the US. They’re more American than most Fords are.

Whether it’s GM’s cylinder deactivation eating valvetrains or Ford’s 5.4 shooting plugs (2V) or breaking plugs (3V) or any of the other timing issues those had, my love of cars has sadly become a love-hate relationship.

Sadly it would use the 3.5L from the new Tacoma and be universally hated (as the ‘21+ 6th gen 4R is rumored to do). But hey, at least it would pump up old FJ prices even higher...

and put the search on “nationwide.”

Not sure why the TOYOTA logos aren’t body color from the factory, but a little bit of touch-up paint and voila:

I know different features will fit different drivers but I was surprised to see that you seemed displeased with the KO2s after my very positive experience.

I always thought that they looked like a slightly longer MR2 Spyder. When your legendary car company’s halo car looks like the worst MR2, you did something wrong.

It has become the new original NSX

I have KO2s now and I love everything about them. They are better at everything than the Duratracs.
