Getting ready for Winter
I need a car cover for the S2000. Secondly I've got to unload my almost new Toyo's TI's (215-50-17) and AEM CAI for a TL Type S. If you know anyone who might be interested let me know.
BTW what's the consensus on car covers?

I have only ever used a car cover when I stored a car over the winter. Make sure you get the right one. ie, if stored in a garage, it should be "breathable". If it is stored outside, it should obviously be waterproof. I don't like having to put it on and take if off repeated as I have seen that certain areas (like corners) can get the paint looking dull from the cover getting pulled across it. I know you can get a good deal on the Honda one, but do check to see what kind it is and if it is appropriate for your intended use.

I have a Honda brand custom fit outdoor car cover that I bought on Ebay from an owner in the UK. I don't believe you can get these here. It is practically brand new and in perfect condition. It even has the H on the front.
I am not sure if I want to let it go as it is hard to get. Funny thing is that my paint is shot anyways from driving on Deerfoot and through the winter. So never used it.
Why aren't you getting it through T&T since you work there?

...perhaps some fuel conditioner to keep your gasloine from going "stale", don't forget the battery, and if you are leaving the wheels on the car I have heard that it is a good idea to over-inflate the tires so that you are less likely to get flat spots....I'm sure there is more (and better) advice from some of the real enthusiasts on this board.

Do a "member" search for "OhioRacer". PM him. He has compiled a complete set of winter storage tips (it is a very extensive list). This list was compiled a year ago as a result of consultation with several S2Ki members including myself. He will be happy to send you an email with the list attached.
OR, you can search "winter storage" and see all the threads on this topic and get all the tips in little bits and pieces.
