Brian/Judi, a propos EKIN 95's comment above regarding the weather I was going to say that the only things that keep me off the road are snow and hail but then I remembered the hail storm our red NSXs drove through earlier this summer (please no finger wagging from anyone -- it wasn't hailing when we left Brian/Judi's place and the sky didn't look particularly threatening). Thankfully the hail was not golf ball size. Since there was no cover to be had all we could do was dodge downed tree limbs and get back to Brian/Judi's as quickly as possible. Good news was no damage to either car.
These buggies are pretty robust if you ask me. Although my /94 is now approaching only 28,000 miles, in the 9,000 miles I have managed to rack up since last November (2,000+ on the drive back here from Phoenix), I have had no mechanical issues - only things have been some deferred maintenance that prior owner should have done but didn't, new tires, alignment and a couple of oil changes. The only complaints I have are some dash rattles when traversing broken pavement that are proving to be difficult to eliminate and a bit of noise that is either coming from headliner near the rear window or perhaps the rear hatch. Not bad for 16 years old but nonetheless these noises need to go away. I guess this will be the winter project.
Our upcoming get together sounds absolutely terrific and if we get the expected turn out this will be great. Looking forward to seeing you all next Sunday.
