I'm usually lucky to see one RSX in a day. When I saw two at JC Penny, I had to park between them and take a picture.

I got the headlights for my 2002 Acura RSX replaced this last week. I ordered them online and then tried to put them in but it involved taking off the bumper. There were 2 screws I could not undo and I didn't have any replacement clips for the ones I was taking off, so I decided to pay my local body shop to do it. It was just an hour and a half of time, so not bad at all. It was done the same day and I'm happy with the results. It looks like a completely different car!

Here are the before and after pictures:

Well, a few weeks ago I went down to IL and picked up an MR2. It's in great shape. It's 1988 5-speed, Supercharged model. It likes to move!

I'm having a slight problem with the clutch right now. I finally narrowed it down to that. I'll get that fixed soon but I wanted to get a picture up here on my blog to show everyone. It'll just be my extra, fun summer car to tool around town in. I'll store it in the winters.

I've hear that "MR2" either stands for "Midship Runabout" or for "Mid Engine, Rear Wheel" but we may never know the truth. The suspension was designed by Lotus.

So watch for me flying by you around town!

Ok, so I guess it doesn't really "convert" so it's not a convertible but there is no top, so it counts in my book!

I got this the other day - no, not to save millions of dollars in gas, but because we have a colleague coming in to Madison for a while and he can use this to get around town. And because my first car was a scooter and I thought I'd be fun to own one again. Plus, it's fun to drive around in the summer... the whole convertible feel. Ok, you pick the real reason of those three. :-)

It's fun. I took it all the way to Westgate on Saturday. I went all around the construction on campus and even down Mineral Point Rd, downtown. It's a 50cc and gets up near 50 downhill with the throttle maxed out - of course. Any engine over 50cc and you need the class M license / motorcycle license... which I'd like to get one day but not for this. Yeah... show up to a motorcycle class in a 80cc scooter? You'd get run over!

So if you see me tooling around town in this thing, don't run me over, ok?
