One way to ruin the clean look of the 130R white.

It's not often you'll find a base car with zero options. It'll likely have at least Tech/ELS/parking sensors like mine. $163.9k MSRP - 30k = $133.9k. Subtract another 4 to 6k off dealer discount (unless it has increased) which puts you at around $128k or so. That's if you can find a new base...

Also something to consider regarding sizing in case it matters to you... Tire selection is extremely limited in the 21" performance category. There are many more options to choose from in 20".

The first car has a higher residual ($115k) AND lower cap cost (140k) whereas the second car has a much lower residual ($100k) AND higher cap cost (150k). Your commitment is over $50k on the second car and roughly $24k on the first. That is the primary difference in payments. First car...

It seemed like yours arrive pretty quick. Is it lower in ride height than others I've seen or is it just my imagination?

What you said originally was that $15-16k was crazy money for a brand that is not familiar to you and therefore the price needs to be reduced by X amount. That sounds like your opinion and a flawed one at that. Just because it is brand name doesn't mean there is value or exclusivity, and at...

LOL... Brand is the only thing that matters when it comes to cost? Some could say our cars are crazy money for the brand (Honda)...

Speed bumps haven't been a problem in my experience. The ramps and driveways can be an issue when exiting depending on the angle. If the angle at where the driveway ramp meets the street looks like an obtuse "v" angle, you're going to have issues and the strategy there is go almost sideways...

Something with a bigger trunk.

Much better. Stops the way it's supposed to but it's no R8.

You may have first hand experience on the abrupt stop braking distance on my car. LOL

The Wiki will get you squared away. Just remember to plug the harness back in before testing as the plug being tapped is just the mirror side (not hot side). It had me thinking for a few minutes as the RD didn't fire up the first time. Other cars I had done previously, the hot side plugged into...

We often use the NSX as our grocery getter and, yes, the trunk can often get warm enough to slow cook certain things when the gas motor is on. Since we're in CA, we are required to bring our own grocery bags anyway so we often try to store any temperature sensitive items in insulated bags to...
