This is REALLY not funny. My car is supposedly enroute from Japan for the next two weeks...... Time to call the Dealer.

Ouch... I really hope there were no S2K's on there. I can't stomach the thought of Stooks descending into the deep, dark cold water. Accords, Civics... Especially Odessy's - No problem. Sucks, but they are replaceable. But Stooks? That's horrible. Any way to find out? I sure hope no-one on this board waiting for a car had theirs meet this fate.

For all of those hoping this will become a limited and someday collectors car, the odds just got a teeny bit better. (that is if any S2000's were on board).

A moment of silence is in order for any dead stooks...

fernando

My new S2K was on that ship. The dealer called and says that it will be recovered and dried out in no time. j/k
