Some New Pics

The sunsets in the winter time are somehow always spectacular in comparison to other times during the year in Texas. So I took the opportunity since we hit 80 degrees today to spend the sunset with camera in hand at the end of an empty road in our neighborhood.

Ride Up To Brew Honda

The wife and I went for a joy ride this afternoon hoping to spot a new CRZ up at our local Honda dealer. No luck. None on the lot today. Maybe next weekend. Snapped a pic of my ride under the Honda sign before we left.

175 MPH?

Wow. Of course this isn't the stock engine, but that's one heck of a top speed.

Sunday Afternoon Drive

With the temperature hovering in the mid-70's today, it was just about perfect for a top-down drive through East Texas. So the wife and I hopped into the car and drove out to Lake Fork. After a couple hours of cruising, we ate some dinner and headed home to give the car a good bath. All in all, a simply fabulous S2000 day.

Autoblog Review: 2009 S2000

Dug up this review this weekend. Just a nice review of the last model year: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/01/review-2009-honda-s2000-is-a-champ-to-the-end/

Take That, Big Suitcase!

And just for good measure tonight because I'm digging around in YouTube, here is Fifth Gear's comparison with the 350Z. The S2000 wins again.

"It Goes Like Stink"

Well, this was cool. Was watching Auto Trader, a UK television show about buying cars, tonight and this episode featured a guy choosing between a Miata, a Z4, a Boxster, and an S2000. Here is the last few minutes of the show where he makes his pick. Given enough budget to buy any of them, he picks the Honda. Not sure I could have said it better myself. "It just goes like stink."

NY Times Obituary

Just ran across the NY Times obit for the S2000. Nothing new as far as information, but thought I'd save the link. http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/27/for-high-revving-honda-s2000-its-time-has-passed/
