They are few & far. I believe they just aren't hungry enough for knowledge. There's just way too much disconnect.

How do you like the "S" Clubbi? I look at them & want to re-do the paint scheme. I have driven the NA car, it was a pleasent suprise, better than expected & I expected alot.

It's Nightfire Red and silver

but it's a base clubbie. We like it fine. The N/A motor is really good for it's size. The way the wife puts it: We used to do $75 of gas for 300 miles in the MDX, now we do $50 of gas for 500 miles in the clubbie.

You have 1 of the best color combonations, for sure. The 1 I drove was brown w/black, 1 of, if not the worst combonations - it reminded me of a small UPS truck. I agree with the NA, no power house but just about right for the family truckster. $50 for 500 miles is hard to beat.

BTW, Your blog is quite good. One of these days I'll post a comment.

In hindsight...

I think we should have gone green/silver. I think the nightfire red needs to move a little closer to burgandy and away from brown. But we're happy.

Thanks for the comments on the blog. When you're there, click on a google add or two! We get about 30 cents per click! (not a lot of money, but no products to build!)
