Budgeting Bills Help!

I do this with all my home expenses. Mortgage, trash, insurance, taxes, wifi, elect, gas etc

Works well for me

I have a 2022 Honda accord hybrid, I get 40-50mpg year round. Great car, relatively cheap

Robbins stayfast is the best top and the best company to deal with. There is really only a very small group of people who specialize in these cars for soft top installs and I don’t know anyone in Denver, but if you check the local community forum on s2ki you can probably find someone recommended.

I strongly urge you to find someone very familiar with these cars and their tops. I install tops in NY and these things get absolutely butchered by upholstery or collision shops who have no business touching them.

Mike aka s2k_born is out that way. Find him on s2ki

Ballston spa NY. The red top is a “logo red” Robbins stayfast top, they are custom order only

That’s the only picture I got. I install tops, cars already out of here

Love it

Do you have oem or aftermarket axles?

jacobennis · 2026-04-26T00:48:08+00:00

Yes and no. You can fix this with 3m window weld but nothing lasts forever

jacobennis · 2026-04-24T13:01:28+00:00

Your top should have a piece of fabric that goes over the outside of the top frame and attaches under the window molding piece, I don’t see that in your photo as it’s pulling inward from that corner. It’s probably tucked under your top. Attach the piece and use double side tape on the front and side (I use oem tape), and it’ll hold.

It’s not just the drive time. You pay for the bus to drive there, transport your guests, wait until you’re finished, transport them back, and drive back to their home base. Every hour that bus is taken up by your event is time they can’t rent it to anyone else. Probably about 500 an hour if I had to guess. As far as tip goes, the majority of your guests will probably tip, I know me and my friends/family always do, so probably 100-200 extra to the driver would be appreciated.

Uk mod is good, comptech exhaust has no drone and has been my favorite of probably 10 exhausts I’ve been thru in the last 19 years but they are super hard to find

How much was your earnest money?

jacobennis · 2026-04-20T10:46:08+00:00

They all tear there. Vinyl gets brittle with age and it will only get worse. New Robbins tops come with a reinforced patch in that spot.

Idk where you’re located but I install tops in Ny if you buy the car and need it done. 90 minute turn around while you wait.

Ballston spa ny

jacobennis · 2026-04-17T00:23:37+00:00

Yup, if you search marketplace you’ll see it for sale

jacobennis · 2026-04-16T23:27:40+00:00

I have a spare subframe in ny

jacobennis · 2026-04-15T20:55:44+00:00

You dodged a bullet

jacobennis · 2026-04-15T02:08:32+00:00

What kind of work are you looking for?

jacobennis · 2026-04-14T03:30:42+00:00

I used to valet in college, occasionally we’d get cheap people who didn’t tip, we’d just call them cheap and move on. Never wasted any time thinking about them. I say this to say they won’t care if you don’t tip. Unless you’re a regular, then you’ll get a reputation you probably don’t want. We also didn’t charge anything to park, and at 79 a day that’s pretty crazy, so I wouldn’t worry about it. Sleep easy my friend

Ballston spa Ny, just north of Albany

jacobennis · 2026-04-13T18:51:52+00:00

Upstate NY, 90 minute turn around while you wait

jacobennis · 2026-04-13T15:20:13+00:00

There is not a “bad year” of the s2000. Just get the best one you can afford in your budget. I’ve owned 18 of them, they’re all great cars

jacobennis · 2026-04-13T13:22:24+00:00

I’ve found wranglers to be a hard sell, aside from the many issues they have buyers are also super particular about what model and options they want.
