On the heels of Onehots2k’s inspiring story about Aquatic and the UMW community, I received a PM from one of our community organizers -  1FastS2K about how he was stranded and had another S2000 owner show up and go over and beyond the call of duty  to help him. In addition to that GateCrasher of [...]

For years I’ve noticed a weight obsession on s2ki. Anything remotely heavy that pretends to be sporty has been torn to shreds in Car Talk.Personally the lightest car I’ve ever driven was a 2500lb Supercharged Cooper S. It felt absolutely amazing in terms of tossability and nimbleness.

Building an engaging car requires putting a lot of important pieces together. Things like iPod integration and HID lighting are quite nice but aren’t one of those pieces. In my opinion, steering feel, supportive seats, good outward view, and a decent gearbox is on that list. Not being overweight is another prerequisite but I’ll save [...]

UPDATE: The Inland Empire S2000 owners group (part of the Southern California S2000 Owners) have started a fund raising activity to providing for Paul’s 9 month old son Lukha. Please click here to find out how you can contribute to Paul’s memory and his family by contributing to the LUKHA DONATION TRUST. S2KI mourns the [...]

S2KI mourns the loss of its long-term member RC-Ryder (John Weske).  On Saturday, April 10th, John suffered a fatal heart attack in Dayton, Ohio while spending time with his grandchildren.  His unexpected death has come as a shock to not only his family, but to all that have known him well, especially members of the [...]

[Foreword: We love to post stuff that our members contribute on the forum. This weekend will see the publication of two such posts from members of the Vintage S2000 owners forum. It is my hope that you will enjoy reading these and contribute to the discussion. Tip of the hat to S1997 for referring this [...]

I’d say we’ve all at one point in time played cops and robbers when we were kids. Some of us still play it as adults but that’s a whole different kind of story.

We’ve all at some point received comments from strangers about our S2000’s. Of course some aren’t as welcomed as others, but I digress. It still strikes me as amazing that a 10 year old design still attracts positive attention.

There is no denying that rain can be the bane of our driving existence . We cringe at the thought of raising the top and driving through puddles and rivulets on the roads, dreading the clean up in store and cursing the weather gods. It also doesn’t help that often times our car is setup [...]

What is the truth? Only those who have tried and lived to brag about it, know. Of course the internet provides for great stories. Top up? or down?, windows open or closed? Is there a preference? Or does it really matter. Why is it so important to know if you can, or you can’t?

Why do we hate hybrids so much? Blame Toyota. No, really. Okay, Okay, half-way blame Toyota. My opinion has absolutely nothing to do with their current recall woes. It has more to do with the Prius and what that vehicle has accomplished. It wasn’t the first hybrid vehicle sold in the U.S. That accolade goes [...]

The word Vintage, has several meanings. It could mean (among others), old-fashioned or obsolete, or it could mean being the best of its kind. The S2000 Vintage Owners forum definitely fits the latter meaning. While the word “vintage’ may certainly have some negative connotation, this forum, in my humble opinion, is the farthest from any [...]

Lest my play on words in the header has you thinking that our S2000′s were blissfully snoozing without a care in the world, let me assure you that it was quite the contrary. The village of Watkins Glen nestled in the Finger Lakes area, to the uninitiated, is a mecca to fans of racing and [...]

The recent global economic storm has caught us all by surprise. We see entire nations & communities struggling to make sense of the downturn and adjust to the consequences. The paradigm of constant growth has proven to be a mirage and the situation calls for an assessment of where we are headed and what needs [...]
