Good day everyone,

I'm a soon-to-be former 263K miles Civic owner who just ordered my first new car on Sat, July 5th.

I'm still waiting on a production number on my '15 R59 SO (assuming I correctly secret-decoder-ringed my Spice Orange Roadster). This 6-8 weeks (or more roughly 1-3 months) is going to drag, but I've learned to be patient over the years, and this, too, shall pass.

The dealer tells me there isn't that much demand for convertibles in the Chicago area, but as global climate change continues to take root, I'm counting on longer and longer summers.

Not sure if some of my friends are on NAM, but if so - Hey Fork, Stick and Fubu.

-Mike (aka "Happy")
