Default Goodbye, Exploder!

Just moved to town from Detroit 5 days ago, and after driving around town a bit in my 2001 Ford Exploder oops Explorer sport, decided I needed something new. I'd had my heart set on a Boxster, and test drove one. Beautiful, beautiful car, but after listening to the sales guy try to explain why to get even a cd player (cassette is standard!) is $450 extra, and after tooling around in a BASE Boxster stickered at 52k, I thought I'd look around. Well, the Gastonia Honda dealer had two S2000's on the lot, and now a 2002 silver with black interior is sitting in my driveway. Never thought a 4 cylinder could sound so good. Dumped the Explorer off with eight months left on a two year lease. I am going to miss the thrill of randomly exploding tires and frequent roll-overs, but I think I will somehow get over it.

Excellent choice! Great job dumping the Exploder!

Sebring Silver is awesome, of course. . .I'm a bit biased! Share some pics when you get a chance and keep posted for some local meets!

I agree...excellent decision. Docj: hope you can join us at Southend Brewery next Thursday night (6/11) around 6:00ish or later for a Charlotte owners get-together. Nothing formal; just a lot of beautiful cars in the parking lot and some good company.

Hey, come to think of it, did you happen to be parked in front of the Wachovia plaza atrium on Tryon St. today around 1:00? Whoever it was, I left my s2ki.com card on the console. (Top was DOWN, of course!!)
