Pictures of my S2000

[BMWDave]

So, here are some pictures I took of my S2000.  I went to this scenic overlook, but found that cars can?t go up to the actual overlook, so I took pictures in the parking lot.  Hopefully tomorrow I?ll find a nice scenic place for even more pictures.  Hope you enjoy them!

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome.  It's basically brand freaking new!  I love the color.  Have you found the MPH to KMH button yet?

Haha, thanks!  Of course I have, it's awesome!  But I never keep it there for too long, because I always end up going too fast.

She's beautiful. Mind if I sit naked in it in a GTG? I want to be "in contact" with the car. I promise I won't leave any hairs inside.

  Doubtful.  I could take the seat out of the car and then you could sit in it, but I'll still need convincing.

Not too bad at all.  Planning any more stickers for it?

  They put them on!!  I have to get that off.

I hate mandatory front plates. 

Love your car though.

Thanks! Well, it's not thaat bad, and in does provide some added protection in the city from bumper bumpers.

Looks excellent.

I don't know how strict NY is about not having a front plate, but I've been running around without a mandatory front plate on the Z06 for 2 years now in CT.  I think 80% of the Corvettes I see run around without the front plate.

[Raghavan]

OMG that car is pure secks.

Might want to have your door closing problem looked at.

And do you have the boot for your top?  What are you doing with it?

The boot for the top looks terrible, and I don't think I'll put it on.  Right now it's just being stored. 

[the Teuton]

So have you driven the car with the top up yet?

Thank you!   I don't think I'd get pulled over, but the car is often parked in NYC, and traffic cops would have an easy time spotting the sports car without the front plate.  Once underway on the road, I doubt I'd get pulled over. 

[BMWDave]

So have you driven the car with the top up yet?

I have.   It's just not as much of a satisfying experience (though certainly still quite enjoyable). 

[Raza]

Is your car louder with the top up or down?

[BMWDave]

Is your car louder with the top up or down?

That's an interesting question.  It's not that bad with the top down, but overall, I'd say it's less noisy with the top up.

Interesting.  My car's way louder with the top down (I'm talking engine noise only), and I wasn't sure if that was due to the engine placement.

When did you buy this, i must be missing something but i don't recall a thread recently.

He has a massive "Buying A New Car" thread in General Auto. He's had the car a week, I believe.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Was that the thread that was up around 20 pages?

If so i never really went to it, seemed like alot to get caught up on. Also i didn't think it would take anyone that long to buy a car.

Well, I did mention I was buying the car in September.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I checked the thread out, got caught up for the most part.

So its a slightly used 07 and it looks like you got into it for around 27? Sorry if i'm prying.

Anyway nice ride, good color. I see mention of yellow and i think you'll be much happier not sticking out so much in the silver car. I'm not much of a honda fan, but he S2000 seems like the best choice for the money when it comes to awesome affordable verts. It gives up the turbo compared to the solstice/sky. Its clean and more powerful than a mazda. If reviews are anything to go by the Honda is probobly much more balanced and smooth(in just about every way, very polished mechanicals) than the solstice/sky twins.

Excellent choice.

Thanks!   It's a slightly used 07 for 27K, yes.  While I wouldn't mind yellow, I think silver is a better choice for the city.  I picked the Honda because it was similar to the Miata while being more substantial.  It doesn't weigh a crazy amount, it has great performance, it's supposed to be a reliable car, and I loved how it drove.

Well enjoy, i don't know about your area but try not to let all the kids get to you. It happens when you're driving the best of someones favorite brand.

So.......
Wanna race for pinks? 

[TheIntrepid]

So.......
Wanna race for pinks? 

Are you in the Evo or the Z?

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Does it matter 

If i was racing for pinks i'd do a 5K clutch drop in the EVO, good for 4.6 seconds to sixty.

  I have my first meet tomorrow, I'm meeting around 40 S2K owners.  Hopefully it should be cool.
