Default Goodbye S2000

Well, after my car got totaled as a result of my seats being stolen, I decided to get the G37S Coupe. It's a much different car from what I'm used to driving the past 9 years (MR2 and S2000) but it's a fantastic car! It's much bigger, and luxurious than my two prior cars. It's similar to my old 87 Supra in a way since it's a comfortable GT. Plus, I'm a sucker for technological gadgets in a car so that's a refreshing change. However, the clutch will take a lot of getting used to. It certainly has plenty of power and the delivery is very linear with the new engine.

I decided to lease and bank the the money I got from the insurance company. Also, I didn't know if I would like it after 3 years. My next car I do plan on buying, though. It will probably be a Cayman S or an Audi R4.

It's been a great pleasure owning the S2000. Cherish it and appreciate it for it's a fantastic automobile still to this day that will always put a smile on my face. I was very sad when I saw it at the body shop at the time when they told me it was totaled.

I do have some new brake pads that I never used, still brand new in the box that I plan on selling.

Sorry about the loss, but congrats on the new car!

I'm actually contemplating a G37 as an S replacement next year as well.

that's funny. I just let go of my G35 today and keeping the S2000. A little sad to see the G go. It has been a part of my life for the past 4 years.

Congrats, the G37 is a great car.

The car was totaled just because the seats were stolen? Nothing else damaged? How expensive are these seats? Damn!

Out of curiosity, did you consider waiting for the much-rumored '09 370Z? It would not be as practical, but if they get the design right, use the 3.7 AND get the weight down closer to 3000lbs (as rumored) I would consider it myself.
