Sweet, I'm sure it was a good time! Were there two pics or just one, only one link worked?

Either way - that's a stick I'd love to handle. ...The...the shift knob, I mean.

The best color it comes in!
White.

the shifter was short tight and precise. kind of felt like my S2000. I compared it to an LX manual which felt quishy.

I actually noticed that number in a review video also. Forget which it was. Maybe the Type-R vs RS vid.

Number 00000 is used in all those demo cars for journalists test drives etc.

This is what we walked into work this morning sitting in the lobby at corporate. It's the Honda Civic tour 2017 One Republic edition. And its serial#00000 also.

 

[s2kdarren]

guess that serial number is devoted to the prototypes not for sale?

Might also explain the difference in the VIN# and badge#, we've been seeing. Every so often one VIN gets a generic 00000 badge and gets slated as a company demo or special unit like the ONE REPUBLIC unit. There could end up being 80-90 of these over the course of the production run (hopefully not included in the total units coming to our shores) They could also be rebadged (or not!?) and sold as special corporate demo with [full] disclosure as to track use, etc. Just speculation, I know, but I'm thinkin' outside the box here.

[EDIT: just saw other posts to this effect, sorry I'm slow on the uptake]

Many if not all these "demos" will be crushed once they are done with. Sad, so sad!

Yup I know for sure this One Republic car is getting crushed and another white one we have on campus.
