I put a deposit down as soon as I saw the reveal (a month or two after the official reveal). The look reminded me of the original NSX. Its been a long road and quite disappointing from a communication perspective and it'll be a year late from my original delivery estimate of 2 years (and $11k...

I have a MaxJax which I really like. My ceilings are almost 10' so a normal 2 post would've worked. Since I'm 6'6 I would've had to hunch over to stand up under a normal lift anyway. Most cars (with a 10') ceiling you won't get the car to the full rise on the lift anyway unless you have a Lam...

I'm a previous NA1 Huntsville owner. The only service I didn't do myself (shock upgrade) I took the car to BarnMan (who may not be active anymore) in Nashville since I didn't trust the local Acura dealer. I took the car to Jerry Damson when I first got it for an alignment and didn't have any...

For the southern part of your trip you could stop by the grand canyon (if haven't been before) but I would recommend stopping at Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon national Park. You said your family likes nature so would be worthy stops. Zion can be crazy busy in the summer but shouldn't be as...

I had a 2000 996 absolutely pampered one with 45000 miles. It seemed to be as fast as the NSX but didn't own them at the same time. I had no issues with it during owning it over a year (bought for wife she didn't like driving stick enough). I found the seats to be uncomfortable on the two road...

Yeah I thought the same thing on a lot of parts. You should posted a wanted for the ash tray door on a few datsun Z sites. Lots of people parting out rust bucket cars and can get parts cheap. Check here (mostly for V8 Zs but a lot of info on stock ones and parts too)...

I've done this since 1996 but didn't know for sure why it worked. I always held it up to my teeth if I forgot and needed to extend the range (forgetting to lock). Gonna have to experiment with the water jug now.

Nice Z and color. I have an orange 73 240z that has the older bumpers on it. My car was an automatic too when I got it but I didn't mind as I got it to put a LS1/T56 in. On my 73 the pedal box for the auto was the same as the manual just without the clutch pedal (and a different brake pedal)...

Washington DC: Park your car at a metro station or hotel and take the subway everywhere. Or get a hotel close to one of the outer metro stations and ride in. Parking in the city's hotels will cost you big time. Outer Banks Kill Devil Hills: The outer banks are very crowded and the road is very...

Don't know if you can make it to Virginia to start the drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville NC. From there you can take US129 (The Tail of the Dragon) up to Knoxville TN then back up I-81. Its pretty far from Boston though so might be too far than your family would do. Nice drive along...

I have two TDIs although not a 'new' Passat. I have looked at them though and they are nice. If I was not going to get the TDI version I would get the Accord. Like has been said TDIs have remarkable resale even at high miles. Most people think the used ones are as worth as much as new one. If...

1982 Honda Accord Hatch (put 25k in 4 years) 1987 Celica GTS (70k in 4 years) 1997 Chevy Blazer 2DR 4WD**only brand new car bought (40k miles in 3 years ) 1973 Chevy Corvette (3k in 1 year) 1997 Toyota Tacoma (put over 200k in 13 years on that one til someone wrecked me) 1998 Toyota 4Runner 1991...

I did the 'Lowes/Home Depot' Rustoleum Epoxy Shield Kit in my house in 2000. The concrete was new at that time so it wasn't dirty etc. I lived there for 8 years and it never peeled or started to flake (except one spot where salt chemicals got on it). It saw mild to medium abuse. The one thing...

You should decide what kind of garage floor coating/surface you want to do. Doing it before you move anything into the house and garage will save you a lot of work later after you move in.

I found my old shifter boot in storage so don't need this as I put a NSX-R mesh boot on. It does have a crack in part of it as seen in the pics. Look near one of the staples. Its very clean break and could probably be glued or you could remove the 'boot leather' and use it on another. I pulled...
