You might be able to buy some time if your lienholder allows you to defer payments, although interest might still accrue.

For me, the "must do" thing was to get the spare tire kit. Not sure if it was a cost saving measure or a weight reduction thing, but I wish it was provided with the car already. I'd rather not wait an hour for a tow truck or have something damaged from the tow. In 10 minutes you could be done...

I use Sport for normal driving, Comfort for lower mph zones or bumpy roads, and R mode for freeway driving where a more precise steering feel is better along with a quicker throttle response for passing. I usually take a cruise through some slow winding roads on the weekends and Comfort mode...

I use the Unelko Pedal Jack, it's a device that clamps onto your brake pedal to stop it from being used. It's unlocked with a specialized 4 sided key that probably can't duplicated or lock picked easily. Unlike a steering wheel lock, thieves would probably have a hell of a time trying to cut...

In the short term, yes why not try the GoFund route? If that doesn't pan out, perhaps you can let a trusted friend "borrow" it for a while and pay you the cost/partial cost of the monthly payments for as long as they borrow it. They would essentially be leasing a Type R for a while. Everything...

I think this may actually make sense as the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't buy a car that's worth more than 40% of your annual income. For most, that would require your income being at least $100K. This would also explain why markups were high and remain high, because the majority...

If I were in your shoes, I would get rid of the S2000. It sounds like you like it but you don't love it. Sell it to someone who will. Next, get rid of the Jeep due to gas inefficiency and possible problems as it ages. If it's near the end of it's life, better to get some value out of it now...

Nope, I don't stay in the left lane unless I'm going faster than the rest of traffic. What I meant by this is that you can be tailgated in any lane and sometimes switching lanes to let them go is best. People in the left lane going slower than the middle lane also annoys me to no end. Do they...

I was going to make a post about the very same behavior. Along the lines of what repeet said, a Vette gets space and respect because everyone knows what a Vette is and don't really want or need to challenge it. Not so much for a Type R. This is the first time the CTR is here and everyone wants a...

Might be useful for this thread for those looking up how to remove the OEM trunk floor. Thanks for the pic @Nanook

Hopefully you get a refund, but maybe don't let the same shop touch the car again. Have another tint shop remove the tint and install new tint properly, even though there may be another cost to remove the tint. Or look up videos on how to remove the tint yourself. Did you get the front...

Unfortunately, you chose to visit probably the most vile out of all the DFW dealerships. Rusty Wallis doesn't play ball with anyone, they would rather hang onto Type Rs for 3+ months (and have done so) rather than sell it for MSRP. A few of us have gotten MSRP or close to MSRP in DFW. You don't...

Is keeping the RSX also an option? That way you can put your Type R into a storage unit during the winter months and keep it away from all the salt and you won't have to run snow tires on it.

In the months leading up trying to find one at MSRP? Terrible. Most dealerships and salesmen just play games and aren't honest even though I was ready to drive it out on any given day. But I usually stick to my guns when I have a set price, so I wasn't accepting much more than MSRP, almost on...

Nah, don't give that place half a penny. They are among the worst, if not THE worst. They really do believe that selling at 43K is doing YOU a favor.

I'm willing to bet it would, especially with the tariff situation coming into play. Also willing to bet it would be an even more well built car as far as fit and finish. A part of me wishes all this stuff was already in the past and all our CTRs were built in Japan in the first place. It would...

From my experience in years past, Honda of McKinney is one of the worst. Bait and switch with what colors or models they have on the lot, try to get you on the lot under any pretense, make you wait hours to break you while they "go ask the manager", no customer service skills, just cutthroat...

I just got those 2 exact items shipped from Japan this week, wtf! If you had also said Cusco strut bar, I'd be looking out my window for a suspicious van.

Probably gotta earn it with at least a few good Mugen parts.

What kind of accessories? It can be worth it at slightly over MSRP if it's decent stuff. Paid a couple hundred extra over MSRP for the tint on mine which was the only accessory and something I would have done anyways at an even higher cost at my usual tint shop. All these warm weather states...
