I find that pretty crazy for the car to land back in California somewhat local to your area. Did you end up buying another 00R?
Gary, let me know if it becomes intolerable - I MAY be able to help you out by giving your R a "good" new home... LOL
wallie40- I tried to work with D.O.I. to help with all the shit Progressive was pulling, and the person I worked with (elderly lady) seemed to have very little interest.
GaryGrimm- I know what you mean, my DD is a Mystichrome Terminator and my wife HATES how loud it is, the clutch is too stiff, and the attention it attracts. She has labeled it a "highschool boy toy", not suitable for "real" adults. -That's fine with me!
If anyone has a 2000 "R" F/S let me know!.. I plan to drive it, so doesn't have to be a low miler, or too perfect.
There is a turbo'd R in AZ that could be had under 30k. I talked to the guy before I bought mine out of PA. If you want his contact info, just PM me.
