Default New Owner - Mint New Formula Red AP1 in Michigan

Hi everyone! Finally joined the club yesterday! Drove my Scion FR-S to Chicago and traded it in for a mint 2002 New Formula Red AP1 with 17,350 miles. Had an interesting start already - received a few compliments at the gas station but also a tire puncture on the way back to Detroit - but I'm looking forward to warmer weather and some top down driving this Spring. I was surprised at how big the S2000 made the FR-S look when they were parked next to each other. This thing is really like a Miata on steroids!

Picture time:

Beautiful car and excellent mileage. Watch out for tail spin in the rain.

Welcome to the Honda Family!
Good move that you got rid of that FRS!

Only negative is that you won't have Traction Control with your model so be gentle on the gas with that snow and get some proper winter tyres!

Enjoy your ride!
