Still in search of a CTR (sad face)

[charleswrivers]

Wow.

Note to self: FL still sucks for buying cars.

Good luck. For a couple hundred dollar flight, you just just negotiate over the phone with a dealer who'll sell at MSRP, leave a deposit... fly there and have the drive of your life back. The folks at the dealer did you a *favor* when they didn't accept your $10k over MSRP. Just going up the coast... Savannah only ~4 hours. Charleston ~6. Atlanta ~8. Norfolk ~8. Richmond w/in 10. DC area around ~10. Heck... don't forget Miami... Ft Lauderdale etc. the other way.

You can drive 600 miles on the interstate in around 8-9 hours just driving the speed limit... not counting stops. That, vs paying an extra 10k in a day (that they didn't even take!). 1 day 'work' on your part... and I'm not sure driving a cool new car home 'work' and effectively 'earning' 10k+ by having saved it? Win.

Consider this motivation.

Some of the greatest times in my life were when the Navy paid me to drive cross country for transfers. I always took the LOOONG way. WA to NY? Yep... AZ and FL are on that route...

So cool. Love the car in white and love the pictures. Crazy question, but are you completely happy going from wanting the Evo to getting the Type R ?

Ooooo... not my thread. You'd have to ask the dude.

I do keep a 400+ hp Z32 in my garage. It scratches an itch the Civic cannot reach... even if it were an R. A true old sports car, even if it's performance is being matched and maybe even eclipsed by a hopped up Civic, provides a raw experience that is unique in itself.

Sucks... but that birthday will only come once. There'll be another car.

Enjoy Monday! I'm enjoying staying home from work w/a daughter with the stomach bug. My wife went a couple hours south to FL last night to get my mom from a rehab center from a shoulder replacement. They'll be back in a few hours, where then my mom will them be living with us for a month.

A *month*.

I'll trade you...

Yikes! Good luck and hopefully it's only a month! I know how those "just a month" visits turn into couple/several months.

Op, I'll sell you mine. 40k and you can drive or ship it home (local to an airport.) I'm in PA 17 white 55 miles on the odometer.

Im going to call as soon as my son settles down. Dont think I can really be picky about color.. and itll come down to whichever will give me the best price closest to MSRP, haha.

Thanks for the heads up on the other 2 sir.. I appreciate you.

Methinks that thou didst not read any of the thread.

Red is underestimated.

In MY opinion, for an original color, White or Red for the CTR is hands down the best and most catchy

The rest are ok nonetheless

Or no color matters and you can just wrap the car after

Those are seriously the 2 colors I'm torn between. Red looks sooooo god in the Type R with all the black accents and color just pops out. But I'm going to go with the Champ White just because it's the heritage color and I've always wanted a real Champ White Type R. I'm big purist lol.
