Default Getting the S ready for a Spring Drive

Yep... its suppose to be 70 degrees today in our Nation's Capital... Yesterday I had some time to change the oil, clean the K&N filter (I will oil it when it dries today) and since I bought a cabin filter last year and never changed the one I had, I thought what the heck ... why not....... This one was long overdue - 3 years and 22,000 miles. It was pretty dirty......So don't forget the cabin filter this Spring.....

Guess I'd better run over to S2000 talk to find out if I need a cabin filter replacement.

Ours was taken out from under cover yesterday. It looks good! Rick brought it to work for an oil change. I think he changed the cabin filter last year. If not, I'm pretty sure he has one ready to install.

We may see 60+ degress here today. We'll take the S out for a spin after work.

I don't believe this, G-Rod. You've had the S now since 03, even know where the 'secret compartment' is -- and have never changed your cabin filter? Ever notice that three-sneeze sequence when you drive off down the street?

Too bad XViper is gone. He would yell at you and say, "DON'T YOUR EVER READ YOUR MANUAL??"

But we love you, and would never ever say anything like that to you!

Even though you know that the manual is stowed in the secret chamber!

Why thank you Cit, and thanks for the picture Ems. I'll see what I can do. Don't they do this as a regular part of maintenance? Boy, the things you learn. Off to find that elusive manual.

Jim, don't let me catch you anywhere the pool in 8 days. Hiding behind Xviper. I've already got to take care of the Doc....now you. Three sneezes.....

But I love you anyway. I love all of you guys who tolerate this lil' ol' lady and help her out.

I haven't ever had any sneezing, but my S is new. Come to think of it, I never had any sneezing with the other one either. I'm just going to have to assume the dealer did everything as I told him.
