    Steve's week to do the newsletter so I'm getting chores done around the house. The weather is starting to change, so I got the car all cleaned up before the winder, refreshed the ceramic coating, looks good - should be protected against the snow and salt (that is if we get some this year or not)

    I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend. In this crazy world you gotta sometimes tune it out or you'll go nuts, focus on yourself and friends and family

    Hi Matt, I thought you had a BMW M series.  Is this the more fuel efficient Civic Type R?

    Yes I used to have

    Yes I used to have a BMW M3 convertible, and yes the type R does get better gas mileage, but it's a completely different experience and I had 4 BMW's previously so I was ready for a change. I as missing a manual stick shift and was considering an M2, but decided to try something new with the Type R.

     The type R is super light, 3100 lb it's basically a go-kart. it's known for extreme handling, they only come with manual. The Type R is actually very practical, the hatchback and ability to fold the seats down I can fit an amazing amount of stuff in the car, I put a whole dresser in the back one time. The back seats also have a lot of room unlike the M3. I will say that while the M3 did get attention, the Type R is crazy I can't go anywhere without someone asking me about it or trying to race. I will say that the looks are a bit over the top, kind of boy racer, also the crazy color almost looks like a wrap
