2001 Honda S2000 Red with only 39,500 miles garaged and super clean. I am the second owner. I have owned this Honda since 2004 and 10,000 miles. The first owner took excellent care of this car . He spent more time cleaning it than driving it. It still looks amazing and considering it's age you would have trouble finding one in nicer condition. The most significant flaw is a factory defect concerning the driver side electric window. The window opens and closes fine but only while you are touching the switch. The automatic press and release feature does not work. Normally, after fully pressing this switch and then releasing it this feature would allow the window to continue opening hands-free. But this driver door electric window only works while you are pressing this switch just as you would with the passenger side electric window. The first owner took it to the dealer and was told it was fixed but it only lasted for a few days and he never took it back. To me it was not important and I have not given it much thought. I am just passing it on since it is technically broken. The interior looks almost new but not flawless or "mint." There some very faint scratches from sliding the key into the ignition or from adjusting the cd player or ac unit but you would have to look hard for them to show and they are not visible in any photo. Most would just say the car looked new but I did drive it and occassionally had a passenger. It is 100% smoke free!

The body is also very clean with a few minor road chips to the hood and a small ding that is pictured but too small to be visible in the picture. This ding is near the gas fill door and has been there when I bought this car. There is no putty or fill to the body but I did have the bumpers professionally touched up . Not much else to say. No modifications to the engine. It has always ran fine. It was never raced or abused. It was never loaned to a friend. I never let a teenager drive it, etc...

I was not planning to sell this when I bought new tires and got Dunlop instead of Michelin. I had been putting Michelins on but the Dunlops will get more miles and they were more expensive. There are approximately 200 miles on the new tires.

I am selling because I am moving and I will not have room to properly store the Honda.

Watch this LSR Honda Insight crash at 190 mph in the desert

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Like any form of motorsports, attempts at breaking land speed records are inherently dangerous. To wit: During a recent speed competition at El Mirage dry lake beds in southern California, racer Brian Gillespie and his first-gen Honda Insight crashed at nearly 190 miles per hour, and it was all caught on video.
According to the Southern California Timing Association website, which hosts the event, the weather was good and there was no wind on November 10, so it isn't clear what may have caused the crash. Despite the car being destroyed (including the entire front end being sheared off), Gillespie suffered only "minor injuries" and is recovering. The SCTA site does state that Gillespie managed to crack the 200-mile-per-hour mark in a previous run with a top speed of 200.9 mph, so congratulations to him on that! Scroll down to watch the horrifying crash.

Andretti Autosport switches to Honda power

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

The IndyCar grid was split pretty evenly this season between Honda and Chevy power. Thing is, most of the front-running teams have been running Chevrolet engines. Except for Chip Ganassi Racing, the team that fields the likes of Ryan Briscoe, Scott Fixon and Dario Franchitti - but earlier this month Chip Ganassi announced it was switching to Chevy engines too, just like most of the other pack-leading teams.
Honda insisted it didn't need a flagship team to replace Ganassi, but that's exactly what it announced this weekend with the signing of Andetti Autosport. The team run by Michael Andretti won a few IndyCar Series titles under Honda power (in 2004, 2005 and 2007), and two Indy 500 wins (in 2005 and 2007), but switched to the Bowtie two seasons ago, winning the championship last season. But the vast majority of the team's victories - 39 out of 48 race wins - have been powered by Honda, and the two outfits undoubtedly hope they'll return to the winner's circle again with their new multi-year partnership that takes effect next season.

Acura built just 91 examples of the ILX last month, here's why

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

The short life of the Acura ILX has been vexed by one glaringly odd standard equipment choice, mediocre reviews, getting outsold by its competition as it posted slower-than-projected sales and a pledge by Honda to upgrade its supposedly upgraded offering. Therefore, when Automotive News reports that just 91 of the Civic-based Acura sedans were manufactured last month - after a string of production months in double-digits - it would be easy to press the button for the alarm bells.
But that would be hasty, because it is actually the 2013 Honda Civic that is crimping the production pipeline of the ILX. The vastly higher sales numbers of the Honda meant that all three North American plants that produce it needed to crank up output to satisfy dealer inventory needs, including the Greenburg, Indiana plant that makes both the Civic and the ILX. As the classic guns-vs-butter Economy 101 lesson taught us - in which making more of one necessarily means making less of the other - well, the Civic is the gun.
Honda prepared for this eventuality by cranking out the Acuras while it got ready for Civic production. The ILX has held steady at about 500 units shy of company projections every month, and the current inventory represents about 90 days worth of sales. That makes Greenburg's ostensibly low numbers in line with the realities of the ILX, and the situation probably won't change much as Acura gets ready for the improved 2014 ILX.
