Bob - I'm pretty sure Liz and I will attend. I've got a V1 now, so if Steve goes with us again maybe he won't get tagged! Cheers Bob

Hmmm. Bob - you failed to mention our speed going down I5 before the sun came up! Bob

Completely agree with the recommendation to get it really hot before smog testing. Happened to me 2 or 3 cycles ago and this solved the problem. Bob

I failed smog last year - the solution was to run the car up & back to/from the shop on the freeway at high rpms. Passed on the second try. Bob

Another daily driver rain or shine. Aluminum doesn't rust, does it? Besides, if you drive it in the rain you can make 99% of the other drivers jealous all the time. Bob

Is that the remaining time on Jenson Button's contract? Seems like all he does it weep and make excuses. While he's still the darling of the British motor press, my guess is they'll turn on him pretty soon. Bob

I like Marin Acura in Corte Madera - they've treated me very well. Bob

What? You guys don't flip it up and spin it like pizza dough? Sheesh, what's this world coming to! :biggrin:

Daily driver here. Can't get into the concept of "Garage Queen." Bob

Uhh Steve, I think we were going 110 when the first cop stopped us and maybe 70 over the grapevine in the 2nd "incident." Good work talking your way out of that one, btw. My earlier offer still stands. Let me know. I have Steve's 5300 set because I was worried about the higher rated lights...

I got one of these a couple of years ago at Geary and 13th Avenue here in San Francisco. I was cut off by another vehicle and was focusing my attention on evasion/avoidance rather than the traffic signal. When I was able to look at the light, it was red and I was in the intersection. The...

Mine arrived yesterday - an early Christmas present. I'd like to add my appreciation to Woodwork and to Honda. This was a very classy gesture. Thanks again Bob

Well, I live in Marin so didn't consider their restriction on loaners to the county. Doestn't really make sense because I drove it to work in SF anyway. I'll ask Dean next time I see him. Bob
