Default yellow jacket RIP.

well it was a awesome car. this past Monday I lost yellow jacket to a drunk driver in a pickup.....head on! thank god I walked away, sore and hurting. yellow jacket was not so fortunate. its totaled. with 253k on the clock its over with. one thing for sure if I get past all this and get another car, it will be another s. toughest,best car I've ever owned.....period! still trying to get past the sadness of losing it. funny the drunk, this makes his fifth dui. luckily he had insurance. may buy the car back. not sure yet. one thing for sure, GOD was watching over me that day. just a message to my fellow s owners. be safe and never take life for granted. so long. hope to be back one day soon in another s.

Glad to hear you walked away. A racing buddy in TN fixes wrecked s2k's all the time, if you're interested I can put you in touch.

Glad you're okay.

I was the QT in Gaffney the Sunday evening before Christmas and there was a Yellow S2000 parked to the side. I've been meaning to ask if that have been you.

Holy shit Yves.

Infinite sadness for the car. I'm extremely glad that you're ok though. You made that car your dream, and you'll make another your dream when you can. Hope I see you again soon.

Yves, glad to see you are OK. The car car be replaced.

With all the mods you had, I'm sure the insurance won't cover it all. Part out might be best but that too will be painful to experience.

Good luck.
