For me, living with the CTR daily was a host of compromises that I didn't want to have any longer. Namely, it's a small car with a firm ride. Loud road/tire noise. Manual transmission. No ability for towing. Not a good car in snow. Limited room for more than 2 adults.
Don't read anything...
The car is fast. It feels as good as a Porsche to drive. The design is absolutely unmistakeable for anything else. The automotive press has lavished every conceivable award to the car. It’s 5 model years old and still commands a premium over MSRP.
You’re worried about the paint? You’re...
I traded in my CTR today on a new BE Ridgeline. The Type R lived up to the hype, I really enjoyed driving it. Living with it day in, day out was just not a great fit for me. But this crazy year and used car market made it a perfect diversion from all the bullshit we’ve all endured for the...
This is another overblown internet creation. I unplugged mine and the difference is hardly noticeable. The sound is the same for 99% of everyday driving. Which is to say that you never hear the piped in fake sound. The enhanced engine sound only comes into play in R mode at higher RPM...
Bumpdate:
I have sold the Y spoke wheels, I have the OEM wheels mounted now. Still haven't changed the oil, all stock, always has been. (Other than wheels :cool: )
I'll post more pics when it stops raining
Playing devil's advocate here... can you imagine the number of tire kickers that call on a daily basis to ask? Hell, I'd throw bogus numbers too, just from sheer exhaustion. I'm sure some dealers are truly holding out for the sap with a wad burning a hole in his pocket, but I'd have to...
Up for sale is my set of NSX wheels with pilot sport all season tires on them.
A perfect fit for this car, forged, and ET+55, substantially lighter than stock an d you can feel the difference.
I bought these brand new last fall from Graham Rahal, and had them powder coated gloss black, with...
Close family member works for Honda... just was informed today that production of next gen CTR’s will not start until at least June/July next year (2022). With the overall production shortages it wouldn’t be a surprise if they are delayed even longer
OP - Good for you! Keep working to payoff everything that you may have debt on.
The line that people keep telling themselves... " use that money elsewhere." Is only valid if you have enough cash to pay for everything you own, and have it invested in mutual funds building wealth. Otherwise...
I have a close family member that is an Area Sales Mgr for Honda Corp... the intel is that the opportunity for dealers to order new units is ended. What's on the books is it. If the unit is on the ground or in transit, or scheduled to be built, the dealer is getting his last units.
As...
I'm back... food for thought. Suppose you were paying cash of $100K for the truck. Invested in the stock market for 5 years, would conservatively grow to $150K in value. At a 7% growth (conservative) that $100K would be worth $800+K in 30 years, at 10% it would be over $1.6M
Where would...
*Short version - Pay yourself first!
Rich = Lots of money to spend
Wealthy = All the money you need to live your lifestyle without having to work for it
There are lots more rich people than wealthy people, and the difference is night & day
I made 2 g's yesterday as well (and good for you -...
i appreciate the youthful exhiberance, and yolo and all that jazz... Spending THOUSANDS of dollars for the experience of driving a fast truck is crazy, go rent a Lamborghini or Ferrari for an experience.
spend your money where it counts, on your wealth building plan. Buying expensive toys is...
