Hello and thanks for reading!

2002 Grand Prix White Honda S2000
Rare full red interior!
118,300 miles (daily driven so it will be going up slowly)
VIN: JHMAP11472T000102

I am the vehicle's fourth owner and have owned it since last summer. This car is so much fun but I want a truck or a WRX wagon! Time to get out into nature more and that's one thing she can't do.  I would prefer to sell to someone from the Northeast but will help a distant buyer to arrange shipping of the vehicle if requested.  Payment by cash/cashier's check or bank check is acceptable.

Mods:
-Gunmetal metallic SSR Integrals forged 17" staggered rims with black lugs (full set of stock rims included)
-1 month old Bridgestone RE-11a's (amazing grip, low noise, excellent in wet)
-Eibach Pro springs, 1.5" drop
-Eibach front sway for neutral handling
-AEM cold air intake with AFE Pro Dry S dry filter
-Invidia Q300 70mm dual SS exhaust (stock exhaust included)
-Rear axle spacers
-AP2 rear differential with slightly higher gear than stock (forgot exactly what ratio)
-Brand new soft top with glass rear window only used for one and a half summers
-35% tinted side windows
-Rick's smoked side markers
-S2000 side badges deleted
-Blue convex rear view and side mirrors (helps with top-up blind spots and lights)
-Tall tinted fold up privacy insert for between seat backs by Rick's
-Plastic inserts for seat helmet holes by Rick's (helps with wind noise by the ears)
-Fully insulated front door panels with upgraded woofers, tweeters and passive crossovers.
-Custom gunmetal badges to match rims
-Front license plate hole fillers in white
-Cool white LED cabin, trunk, license plate and backup lights
-Custom fitted subwoofer box for 12" (fits in tool cutout in trunk floor and takes up no space!)
-Alpine headunit
-Modifry globe box organizer
-Modifry soft top fix
-Modifry side marker mod and LED bulbs (not installed)
-Modify dash mount (not installed)

Cons:
-I went ahead and checked the Carfax and apparently the car has been in 3 accidents! This is really unfortunate to find out, but I would not have known it if it wasn't written out for me. Apparently the first two were fender benders and the last one popped the airbags.  The frame is perfectly fine, no rust on any joints or problems with the undercarriage, handles like a go kart and alignment is great. The body panels involved in the crashes have all been replaced and resprayed and there is not a drop of rust on it, which I suppose is braggable for a car from the Northeast. Ask me any questions about this and I'll be happy to answer them or send you the screenshots of the Carfax report.

-Some gears sound a little "crunchy". They have been like this since I got the car last summer. This does not happen on all gears! I want to clarify that this "crunchiness" is a sound not really a feeling and it has yet to affect the performance of a shift. No gears have slipped or missed... It sounds like worn synchros, but still functions fine, ironically smoother with more spirited driving.

-Left door panel tweeter grille is missing. I was in the process of installing the upgraded tweeters and due to my own miscalculations I made a mistake that left the grille modified but unusable in the current project. The right side is unaffected.

-Cracked plastic panel under the passenger side dash, barely noticeable in normal driving.

-Some rubbing on large bumps from driver's side rear tire... Went from 225s in rear to 235s and that plus the slightly wider offset of the new rims pushed it out a bit too far. Fenders have been rolled already but that side needs more work.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Honda is first Japanese carmaker to be a net-exporter from US

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Over the last decade or so, many foreign automakers have challenged the idea of what defines an "American car," but Honda took things a step further last year by exporting more cars out of the US than it imported in. Reuters is reporting that in 2013, a total of 108,705 Honda and Acura models were exported from the US with only 88,357 being shipped in. This gives Honda a net exporter status here, and makes it the first of such among the major Japanese automakers.
Honda's US imports have been dropping over the last five years while its exports have been steadily increasing. In 2008, the report indicates that Honda shipped 187,000 vehicles to the US and exported only 20,000, and even by 2012 Honda still favored imports with 136,000 imports and 74,000 exports. The article says that US-made Honda and Acura vehicles were exported to 50 countries with most ending up in Mexico, but the big news is that the Honda's US production set a record in 2013 with 1.3 million units built.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.

How Seinfeld hopes he'll help industry make better car commercials [w/video]

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Bloomberg has a fascinating look into a web series that continues to be a favorite around the Autoblog offices - Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The series, which is in its second season, sees the affable comedian picking up fellow comedians in a range of interesting cars, and having conversations with them over the drive and a cup of joe.
The piece by Bloomberg dives into the development of the series, as well as Seinfeld's tie-up with Acura, which saw the Honda-owned brand begin sponsorship this season. That relationship started not with his web series, though, but with a Super Bowl ad, alongside fellow funnyman and car enthusiast Jay Leno, that saw them competing over a new Acura NSX. Have a click over to Bloomberg for an entertaining piece that looks beyond the YouTube series. We've also wrangled Seinfeld's original Super Bowl ad for the Acura NSX, which you can see below.
