I stopped in at Wheel Image and talked to Rick since Paul was not there. I mentioned you and the Gateway S2000 Club and he didn't seem like he knew anything about it. I had him quote me a price on some tires and it was about $20 higher than other places I've checked at. Should I call and talk to Paul? Or is that the price after the discount?

UPDATE: Made an offer on a Suzuka blue in Minneapolis. Dang this color is hard to find. Have a one-way ticket to arrive there around 10 am tomorrow. Got the financing arranged and have the check in hand (still paying for the totaled S, though 
the insurance still has not cut me a check for that!).

Kind of a bummer that you will miss Herman. We are leaving at 10:00. Buy the car, drive fast and catch us in Herman by noon 
That would be StarTrek fast, Scotty!
Drive safe - Have fun!

Ron, what happened in Minnesota
FINAL UPDATE: I'm back! Now the proud owner of a MY02 suzuka blue metallic S2000, bone stock except for the Yokohama AVS ES100 tires and locking lugnuts on the wheels. This one has less milage than the totaled MY03 and the body is in better shape. If it ever stops raining, I'll post some photos.
The drive home from Minneapolis was uneventful. It rained the entire way. It was clean when I drove away from the dealer, now the car is a mess. The tires are cheap, but they handled well in the rain.
The one-way trip up, however, was pretty exciting. Somehow, I look like a terrorist and got all but "cavity-searched" in both St. Louis & Chicago!
Regarding the totaled MY03 -- still have not received the settlement from the insurance due to some stupid paper work blackhole. Maybe by tomorrow... Once that clears, I'll order the replacement exhaust and necessary vacuum hoses to reinstall the CAI.

Glad to hear everything went well in Minneapolis, I wonder if the airport security problem was caused by a one-way ticket.
I also would like to extend an offer to help get the new car up to snuff,I also have a heated garage with air compressor and impact tools.
