Yes, the Type R may be fun but the C-17 wins by far!

With two 1000 mile plus road trips(hit the tail of the dragon twice now), DDing and a couple of weekend trips home i've racked up 5500 miles on my PMM - love this car more than most human beings lol

I am yet to drive my CW home. Hopefully today/tomorrow.

But without spare do the wheels/tires give you confident driving on the road or does it feel like every pot hole could be the one that needs a tow truck. Just curious.

I have driven with BMW run flats and even at 40mph a pothole gave such a jolt that it felt like you got into an accident. My Lincoln 19" with low rim tires, I had to replace 4 of them in 9 months (LOL).

Damn that's a lot of miles! but I don't blame you, I find any excuse to drive it too

Im very diligent about watching the road, but I have hit a few potholes that have made me cringe - no issues from those two hard hits though. If I pop a tire I'll be dialing up roadside assistance from the sticker on the drivers side window.Honestly, I worry more about door dings from random people in parking lots than the tires if that helps to give you my perspective.

Just posted on the CW forum. I got it from Boch Honda in MA.

That helps. I took delivery of my car last evening. So far two trips and not bad. I was expecting a harsher ride but the ride was better than I expected over potholes etc. But around here we have to search for a road among potholes and patches on some of the roads. NIMBY mentality (residents actually want a bad road so no one can drive in their neighborhood LOL). So I am planning once the initial set wear out to get a slightly better tread depth tires maybe 35 just to get that little extra cushion. I have not driven a manual in 12 years since I sold my GSR but getting the hang of it. I had test driven a regular civic hatch manual and I find the CTR manual requires more engagement and effort which is good. The basic CIVIC manual was almost like a joy stick. Cheers.

Spent 7.5 hours stuck in Hurricane Irma evacuation traffic yesterday so what did I do today? I went for a much more fun drive to/along the Blue Ridge Parkway! The car impresses me more and more every day!

Very nice pics, thanks for posting Bad Pilot, I'm really wanting to pick one up myself but trying to hold out for a PMM at MSRP.

Looks awesome with no red stripes, I removed mine yesterday! I'm trying to figure out what to do about the stripe on the wheels.
