It was fun to drive, not nearly as fast, but I just don't know if I can cram myself into that day in day out. Put some pics up with the new wheels, that would be great to see! 
Sorry for the thread jack. BTW I still want to look at your interior if you still have it. I'm going to be down that way on Tuesday.

I used to work at Gresham Honda yeeeeaaars ago and one of my good buddies is a manager there so thats where we went. We went for the silver EX-L model. Yeah there is a TON of room in it. We have wanted to get one for a while but we had 4 cars for the two of us so we waited till we sold a few. I am going to get another car now and my wife was pushing for the V-6 Accord 6spd but the special on them just ran out. Soooo now it looks like the S2000 is what I am getting but not positive. It is sooo freakin tiny in there lol I thought the RX-7 was small SHHEEESH! I am going there this weekend and will figure somthing out.

lol I know you HATE Honda's, but I have always had great luck with them. My main thing is reliability along with gas mileage/ safety ect lol. Plus I can get a better deal on Hondas than anything else. Consumer reports voted the Honda Pilot the best mid-size sport Ute for 3 years running now. I am not crazy about the S2000, but it is as close to the RX-7 as I can get without sacrificing reliability, safety, gas mileage, performance. Plus I can get one for a steal of a deal! I still like the FJ Cruiser, but I don't need 2 sport Utes right now....I dunno, I haven't made up my mind on what I am going to get. I just figured since my wife got the practical side of things covered with the Pilot, I would get something fun! Car looks great by the way! Oh and it may need some polish, I am not sure if the detailer did that or not. Let me know how it goes in Beaverton!!

Oh, yeah I didn't see the "body shop" thing. My brother used to work at a body shop but left before I was interested in doing anything to it. Funny, my brothers are both very mechanical and turn their own wrenches, but me....lol no thanks. I was into sports and working out and missed all the mechanics classes lol...heck I missed a LOT of classes back then Well, doesn't look like I am going to get the S2000 after all....just can't decide what I want. Cars today just don't do it for me style wise.....I like curves, like on the 7 but most cars have sharp edges nowdays. BAH! Oh well. Yeah that would be cool to see you over in Beavertown whoopin some butt on Honda's. Let me know if you are going to be there, I am busy this Friday but after that I would be available.

wrenchin on cars is what ive done since i was little, i dont fear taking anything off, and getting into it, thats how you learn to put **** back together, well thats my own little crash coarse in putting stuff back together, but im not to bad at it now, dude i found carbon fiber doors that weigh 9 pounds each, lol, thats cutting 50 pounds off the car, but i dont have 1,300 a peace to get those, or the 2,500 doller ones from austrailia that i know are worth the money and are top quality, paint a set of those and throw the window and everything in there, noone would ever know its not factory, but ill wait to do that later, trying to decide now what catback to go with, you should wait till 2008 and check out the new rx-8, its sopose to have over 400 hp, and yea ill let you know when im gona be up in beaverton, gota sit back and laugh at the ricers as they drive by with their foldger can exaust, lol alright later

As for the RX-8....Ill never buy one unless they ditch the suicide doors and rear seat. Its just not a sports car...and its ugly IMO.

400 hp RX8?! Are they finally gonna turbo that b*tch?! Even then I don't think I'd get one, but at least they'd finally get it right! Those N/A RX8's are gutless... The excuse the dealer gave me was "this car really comes into it's own at about 120-140 mph. That's when you REALLY start to feel the power" lol What a dumbass... Worst car salesman I've ever encountered... Tried to sell me a $35k RX8 and offered me $7k on trade in for my FD! I laughed... I went there to look at a BMW and they wrote up a contract for an RX8 cuz I test drove it "for fun".... Bastards!
