97AClude - My mechnic is in Denver, PA. The car is in Norristown. That'd be an awesome test drive, since it's half of my daily commute, but I don't think they'll let me take it for that long of a test drive

YeloS2000ShowGrl - I don't **** around in my DDs, it'll be a commuter car and maybe see a little track action or some car meets, but 99% of the time it'll be highway/surekill/philly normal driving.

laguna2s2k - harsh ride? lots of road noise? My other car is a street/track 93 RX-7. This car will most likely not see the track, unless I want to run in the stock SCCA class. most track action will be given to the FD. But I actually enjoy the sports car feel, with the noise and the bumps. it makes me feel more at home so that is a non-issue and isn't something I am concerned about. But thank you for being thoughtful enough to make mention of the fact that if I didn't like that sort of thing, the sports car feel would be a turn off.

Laguna, also, my drive is only highway from Morgantown to Valley Forge on the turnpike, that's like 26 miles each way. If you want to consider the surekill a highway, I guess you could, but it's more like a parking lot Most of my commute is country backroads and inner city streets. Phila potholes. yay!

It's going to be fun in the snow dude...

VF when it snows is a cluster bomb.

I remember it taking me 5 hours to get home one time...(i used to commute that way from Lansdale for work daily).

with the OEM tires it is. If you buy blizzaks you can get around in the snow, but forget taking the s2000 out in the snow if theirs over a foot. Mine never seens snow

Haha thanks, Guedo.

That was going to be my next question. Whether or not you guys all like all-season tires or something that was causing you to have issues in the snow.

I'll just have to get a second set of rims. snow tires and summer tires
