Third times the charm! - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Hello

My name is Armanda & I come to you from Jacksonville, FL. Ever since the CR-Z was released I loved the body styling. I never planned on getting one due to the fact that I was in love with my GPW w/tan S2000.

Well August 30th came and my world came crashing down

. I lost control of my s2000 in a corner, over-corrected, hit the embankment and flipped it rear over front. While the top was down. I literally had to dig myself out but I survived with NO injuries except soreness..

:heartbreak:

But then I started looking into the CR-Z's EX models. I test drove a 6MT and I was so impressed! I had the dealer look for a white EX w/out Navi with the MT but no one in the surrounding states had one

. So, I have to settle with a NSBP in 6MT. It's on it's way to my dealer and I am super excited

!!!!!

Also, prior to the s2000 I owned a Ford Focus..

Looking forward to seeing what this little Z has

well it doesn't have enough power to flip... unless you jerk hard in the corners.

Welcome and congrats on the new purchase! Sorry to hear about the accident, you're lucky you made it out w/o more injuries!!

Congratulations and Welcome! You'll enjoy the Z, but miss the top down fun of your S2K

Still fun in the twisties though

Looking forward to what you have in store for your Z, too

Welcome to the forum, and to CR-Z ownership.
Very sorry about the accident - that looked very scary - but glad you are ok.
Hope you enjoy your new car - looking forward to pictures (when it arrives, and inevitably, when you do things to make it your own!).

Welcome to the boards! Once again, I'm sorry that you lost your S2K, I use to want one, but I do enjoy not having to fill up as often as I did when I had my 370Z... jeez. Welcome, welcome! See you around!

Is that a DUVAL sticker on the paint? I'd kill!
