For me and others that hibernate their cars during the winter it is like getting a new car every spring.

Yes, having NEW S2K every spring that is how I feels.

I got MY03 back in 2006 with 5023 miles; yes I still remember how many miles she got. I drove 750 miles to get her home, and love every single mile of it on the road with MY03. I average about 400 miles a year, and now MY03 is about 8950 miles. I only put the top up once when I drove her home because of the rain, and MY03 always top down 100% after that.

Both my S and my CRX-Si are off the roads from November to April
This will be my 21st season with Rex, and I only drove it in 1 winter
My toys go to bed before the 1st salting, and they do not come out until after the 1st couple of thunder storms
Some people can't fathom how this can be done, but I have found what works for me, woodworking as a hobby
I do no woodworking in the summer, so when the cars go into storage, I just switch hobbies
And the best thing is, even though thios will be my 21st season with the CRX-Si and the 11th season with the S, come April they will both feel like brand new cars, completely paid for, brand new cars...

WOW, very cleans CRX-Si . I remember the first CRX came out when I was only in 10th grade, and my classmate saw this on the news about this Honda can get 105hp out from a 1.6L. When most of the domestic car need twice the displacement to get the same HP. I agree with you 100% about; quote ;( come April they will both feel like brand new cars, completely paid for, brand new cars...) . This way I have more money for my other toys, hobbies or save for a nice vacation.
