im on day 7 w/o driving anything....i feel like a heroin junky w/o my fix. dammit! my car is still at the dealership getting its tranny rebuilt, getting a new master clutch cylinder, and they are gonna work on my suspension. i was just wondering about all you other ep drivers out there...whats the longest you've gone w/o driving anything?

:edited:

im just sitting here in my apt doing nothing...not having a car sucks...makes me wish i had a rsx-s cause i know that they give you a loaner. *sigh* :crym:

well, i managed 15 years..... But while having the EP... I was gone for 2 weeks, with a couple hours separating two trips (2 one week trips) in that couple hours I went out driving late at night... So lets say a week.

3 days for Hondata Reflash upgrade.

The longest 3 days of my life!!

Well, I take that back..
I went to florida for summer last year and it was 2 weeks without ep.

I'm on day 10 of being carless. I'm not quite going crazy yet, because even if I did have a car, I'm not entirely sure I'd really want to drive here...1) i don't really know my way around just yet, and 2) these people drive *crazy* here. there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the rights of way

I am on day 5 with no ep I got a flat tire and decided to order wheels and tires online. Then my order got F up and then canceled, so I placed an order with a diffrent vendor so it will be about a week. Sucks ass. I have been driving my crx in the mean time. With is not bad but it has a lot less power and is a 91 not a 2002 or and ep.

It's not uncommon for me to go a week (or close to a week) with out driving it. For the most part I only drive it on nice weekends... or to meets/lapping days.

like gabe its not uncommon for me to go from weekend to weekend without driving. i also try to avoid driving during the day time as much as possible because i dont like using the air conditioning. my ep is a stealth anyway!

After having my car for two months I was in a fender bender which too a month to get all straightened out and to have my car fixed... Then I only drove it twice in a whole year when I lived in chicago and couldn't afford to pay the insurance. Actually the past six months is the longest uninterupted time I've had the ep, that is until I take it into the shop and a few weeks and am stuck with a 90' miata... Heres to trying to drift your moms second car!

i usually drive my pick up to work so that my ep doesnt sit out in the open waiting to get ripped off or vandalized. but i almost always come home and drive the ep somewhere. its rare that i dont drive it everyday. i did go 5 days in april without it while i was in cancun. thats about it.

i go a week at a time without driving my ep3 :(

sits in the garage
waits to be sold
and on the weekends either go drive around local and back in the garage OR
to a show park and bring back to garage


used to have more fun with it
now it lives a sheltered life
