JoelCool here, call me Joel. I purchased an '08 blue CR a few months ago, and have been enjoying it quite a bit. I was donating blood and a fellow S2000 owner (I think RPALUCK) told me about this site.
Frankly it's painful trying to navigate around here, but I'm told there are some good people here.
Just a bit about me - I live in Placerville which is between Sacramento and Tahoe. I'm using my CR as a dd, which I think is cool.
Prior to sport cars I was into sport bikes for 29 years. One day about a year and a half ago I was on my way home from work, riding my '05 Yamaha R1 as usual along a back road when a Corvette backed out in front of me. I nearly avoided him, but ended up side swiping the car with my bike. I don't remember the collision or the 50' I flew, but the helicopter ride, morphine, hospital stay were memorable experiences. I suffered a broken collar bone, 3 ribs and a bruised lung. Not bad, considering... it was a high speed collision. Following the accident, my wife made it clear she didn't want me riding any more. So a big change in my life is ensuing, and I suppose this little blue car is part of that.
Hope to see you on the road.
Oh, about the avatar... I've had 6 collisions with deer on motorcycles over the years and I'm sick of them. Sorry if you think they are pretty or should have the right of way, I think we need more mountain lions and a longer hunting season.
