Drive it and stop worrying! The oil is fresh and ready for use. To be kind, start it on a nice warm day, idle for a few minutes ( 2 ) and enjoy-----KIWICanuck

Let's see what we have established. There are apparently some foolish Canadian dealers in the Ontario and BC provinces who do NOT fit block-heaters. And some owners of those cars, living in parts of the US which are quite cold in winter, are proudly saying that they do not need them! Well...

Amazing story! Our summer tires become very hard anywhere below 10C, and the ride and adhesion suffer enormously! If your climate is frequently in that range, and you have days with snow/ice you should simply put high speed winter snow-ice tires on your regular rims and get a nicer set for...

I would like a modestly more interesting exhaust sound, but without the mormal disadvantges: reduced power below 5K due to back-pressure being too low, and a booming at 3-4K where I cruise. High end noise is Ok.Now I realize that if there is such a system you may have bought it by mistake, or...

Yeah Well, I drive my NSX all year---now she has Mich. Snow ice high speed tires ( 150kph max). This is a fantastic snow ice car! The Traction control etc works beatifully. I do my best driving in winter--great fun. We have little salt here and i avoid slushy days. Last weekend it was -15C ( as...

An auto SportsShift----is it any less an NSX. Of course not! They are still magnificant fast cars---not as good on the track as the manual OF COURSE, but for fast highway and curvy stuff the Shift is great. I just do not have this wierd hangup about autos! Wake up guys! All serious racing cars...

Woops! The PC took control before I finished. My only disappointment with the 2002 NSX is that Honda did not put a modern Auto-Stick in the car---the one in the CL-S or the new 911 is much better. Faster shifts, engine matched downshifts, 5 spds, immediate upshifts at red line. The existing is...
