Default LOVE MY NEW BABY!

Man I got a steal of a deal today... Went to the honda dealer to look at a silver 02 and as I'm circling the lot I noticed a black one sitting in the corner. I parked, walked over, and started having a look. Soon as I got in the car the little beast bit me. (I've got the bloody finger to prove it! ) After that I knew she was mine. Finally a salesman showed up and we started negotiations. I walked away with a mint 2002 s2k with 9k on the dial for $21,650. And as an added bonus I found a cd-changer in the back when I got home! The dealer had just got the car on a trade in and didn't have time to price it out properly I guess. Who knows. I can't believe it.

Oh, the only drawback is that there is no cd-cartridge for the changer. Anyone know where I can pick one up?

Congrats man

I just got my 01 Berlina like a month ago and I've been LOVING every moment of it. I've been driving it like CRAZY, eventhough the weather here has been pretty damn crappy as of late.

Hope you enjoy it. If this is your first RWD sports car, be very careful. I've been EXTRA careful, but trust me, it doesn't take anything away from the enjoyment of the car. I'm sure other people will also tell you...Best thing to do is go to some type of track for some instructor based training. I still haven't done this, but am planning to do it REAL soon. It lets you learn the limits of the car, and at the same time lets you enjoy the car in a safe environment.

Congrats again...and enjoy.

This is not my first RWD car, but I know what you mean. I've had the backend get away from me a little bit twice already and I wasn't really trying. It gets kinda loose in 2nd. I think the tires may have just been cold though. It's still like 30 degrees here.

Dude, be verrry careful in the dry cold weather with this car. Even more careful in cold wet weather. Forget about driving in any frozen weather at all unless you have either snow tires or really good all weather tires. Any Summer performance tire will bite you in the cold.

Go on over to the Electronics forum to ask about the CD cartridge. I think the changer is an Alpine but I really don't know as I don't have one. The guys in the Electronics forum can answer your question.

Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum and congratulations!
