Honda S2000

[MrH]

That's why I drive my Miata to work. 8500 miles/year justifies it.

That's impressive.  S2000 is a bit worse of a daily than an ND miata, but it's more my drive than anything.  33 miles each way, almost entirely on I-75.  There's a backroads route, but it's typically an extra 10-15 minutes.

ND also gets like 33-35 mpg instead of 20-23 that S2ks seem to get.

Having driven neither, I would consider the S2000 more of a thoroughbred than a Miata with the potential of producing a higher degree of sporty satisfaction per mile, so mpg should not be a factor.

Pah!!!

Scrappy is probably getting 8k+ miles/ year too, it's 44miles to work and back, and driven most days. If it's raining hard I take Civic or minivan.

Money is in escrow!  He's trying to line up a transporter, and then it's gone.  RIP S2000.  I'll pack it up this weekend with any extra parts or things laying around.

I've never used Escrow.com before, but apparently CarGurus and eBay motors use it.  Seems pretty smooth.  Fees are kind of high though.  $200 or so, but it's money well spent to avoid headache.

I haven't heard of that before. Sounds nice for that type of transaction

[AutobahnSHO]

Much better than worrying!

After 2 cancellations to pickup, and a severe delay from the driver yesterday, the S2000 was finally picked up around 10:00 last night and is gone.  RIP S2000

DIP!

Drive in peace

I asked him like 5 times what the rules were for Washington DC and if I needed a notary for the title.  He said I just needed to sign the title.  I did, sent it to him.  He went to register it, and then told me it has to be notarized.  So now he sent it back to me.

The problem: I think I have to actually get a new title issued first, then notarized and signed over to him.  What a mess.

Doh!

Pain in the ass.  There are virtual notary services available.  Not exactly sure how it works. May be able to get away with not having to get a new title.

Why do you have to get a new title issued first?

[MrH]

Title office closed yesterday for weather

I got there today.  They didn't make me reissue the title.  The lady just notarized it for free and I'm on my way.  Just need to send it back to him and hopefully this is finally done.
