I feel as though I should begin with "This is Paul Harvey...."
Here's the REST of the story. Dave can build a car from scratch blind folded - he is truly THAT talented. But as newlyweds with little money he found himself working on our cars because he HAD to - and grew to resent it. So I wasn't surprised when he swore he'd never work on another car!! He'd had enough. Then he bought the Focus. And Hooked Again - yes - that's true. Now you must know before I tell you this little story that Dave is a WONDERFUL husband and father. You folks know him and know his character as a good guy - it's that way at home too - He just REALLY is a terrific guy. So don't think poorly when I tell you this..... Our oldest son had moved out so it was just Evan (who at the time was still not even 80 pounds soaking wet holding 50 pound weights) and our Catherine who was in a car seat - obviously not much additional weight. The four of us were in Dave's little car when a young guy in a red Honda pulled up next to us at the signal. Nobody said a thing but suddenly the air was electric!!!! The light turned green and off we went - neck and neck - to the next red light. Stop, wait for green, and off we go again - Honda vs Ford - young vs old - all the world at stake in this race through town. At each signal they traded who arrived first - the Honda would barely get there as we pulled up - but then the next signal we would arrive as the Honda pulled up behind us - neither of them REALLY flat out winning. Dave just couldn't take it any more and well.... his racing blood just took over and his brain short circuited momentarily. (I'm SURE that's what happened.) At the next signal he turned to me and well..... are you ready for this??? He says "Honey - please don't misunderstand, but would you mind getting out and waiting here for a minute? I swear I'll be right back!!!" And he's still alive.

If all you can think of is "what kind of honda was it?", then you missed the WHOLE point of the story....

Amazing car! Its perfectly put together in everyway. Good to see a person who knows how parts should be put together.
Is your CarbonFX hood tinted at all, or is that the way the yellow kevlar hood looks? It matches really freaking well, if so.

Very clean Kona.
"I also have never had a major problem with the car even considering it’s a 2000." My 2000 ran like a champ besides a couple TSBs. It is what inspired me to get into my current paperweight.
