John, you are a WISE man
That's what some people tell me.

Most just call me a pretentious asshole and are done with it

I say Ellen has a dirty mind... and, it's stuck in that groove.

Can't help it, you guys just make it too easy... like the 2 minute UPS delivery

Back to sort of on topic ( shocking) ... maybe I can get a life size S2000 model created... so next winter I can look at my car inside for 5 months

Just get yourself a place with an attached garage. Run some ducting from the exhaust to the door...You can turn the car on and rev the engine in there with the exhaust piped to the outside and everything...

Put a projector in and use the back wall to play Forza (so you can drive an S in-game).

Garage or at least HUGE driveway is the #1 thing on my list for a new apartment I may end up living in a rat hole but my cars will be taken care of

No turning the car on unless it gets driven! And having it near me again I will actually be able to do that again on nice days! Like the 55 degree day in January and then again in February!

If I get a garage I can at least go sit in it and play with the wheel and shifter like I used to do If I have to park it in the driveway I can at least peak under the cover once in awhile

I thought it's generally considered not good to play with the shifter if the car's not running...tranny fluid's not pumping and all that jazz... Just a heads up

Just sit in it, start her up, rev the engine a bit after it's warmed up properly...

I don't do it often. I've only sat in my car twice since December I had not heard that though about the shifter... And I think Doug will have some words of disagreement with you on the starting up

Which I tend to agree with... if I am not going to drive it I have no reason to start it. It was nice to get a fix (ride with Kenta) on Saturday though, even w/o any VTEC

If you do it every day...then Doug won't have any words of disagreement with me

The problem with starting it only every couple of weeks is the cold start factor. But if you do it every day, it's no worse than if you drive it daily...

Or you could invest in an electric oil pump that starts the oil flowing before the engine is cranked... (One of my future mods)
