I think there is a new guy at my shop. I didn't recognize his voice and he didn't recognize my car. He complemented me on it being a "very well cared for S2000." Damn right!

After Chris put my new IJN green bumper on you barely notice my speed ripples... internally the car is fit. I dropped a small fortune on it in Novermber 2016 in scheduled maintenance. With as little anything I put on the car - it will be awhile before it needs any love like that.

I pretty much expect the engine in the S2000 to blow every time I hit the start button. That is why I have hardly driven it at all this year... It is only a matter of time before it leaves me stranded somewhere.

I mean... It doesn't sound like it is ready to die. I ran it through all the gears pretty good on my way to the shop last night. Played a little in some light WV twisties, too. She's good! It is just the math... 310,xxx miles? It can't be that much longer for this world, can it?

Believe me... I thought of that when George suggested we join him for his drive.

I'll see if I can find a monk or whatever to bless it before we head down.
