Speaking of which, you guys see the whole bunch of S cars on craigs right now?? Damn buyers market, but prices remain pretty solid for the CLEAN ones with low miles...

after selling the s2000 i felt trapped as well in my NSX and now BMW. But after awhile I got used to it. If i had my way i would have a s2k as a fun car. the bmw does feel a lot more numb in ways compared to the s2k, it's not as raw and fun to drive. in my case the roaring motor and balance of the m3 hands down kills the s2k in terms of performance etc!

haha, yea, i want an s as a weekend fun car. the bimmer seems a bit more professional for what im going into.
and i must admit, i feel like the zhp out handles the s. i can control the bimmer really easily while the s was kinda twitchy, maybe cuz i had an ap1.

sorry to hear about your loss calvin. i know how it feels, my grandpa passed too, he was waiting for me at the hospital to say goodbye but i couldnt get there in time i hope this isn't the case for you

my grandpa passed away peacefully in his sleep. he just went for a nap and I guess he didn't want anybody to worry. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye either. it was unexpected.. thanks everybody, it means a lot. its just hard right now but i'm taking it one day at a time.

don't worry calvin, time helps heal. as we all grow older, love ones will be lost. celebrate their life with your life.
take solace in the fact that your grandpa was not in pain. i dealt with this with my dad and it was the hardest thing i've ever gone through.

my thoughts are with you and your family. you are not alone
