Default whiteones wreck



Be proud, very proud of your S2000's . My son lost mine on a twisty last week.

He went off of a 25 foot high cliff took out 4 trees and ended upside down in a creek.

Thru the graces of God and awesome engineering from honda my son walked away from it with just a scratch on his forhead. The entire car was destroyed, front back sides top and bottom,

but the cockpit remained intact and untouched . Unbelieveble engineering. It did everything honda said it would . -- sorry bout the lousy pics

Sorry about accident but glad to know your son is okay. This gives me great confidence to know that the cockpit was still secure. Honda engineering is great.

That's incredible that your son was protected by the S so well. I'm glad he walked away from the accident. One question, now that you know he's safe and sound, are you going to kill him for doing that to your S?!

I glad everybody's ok!

If he scratched it a little i would have killed him -but in light of how nasty the accident was im just glad he is alive ( he feels worse about the car than i do)

Yikes... I'm shivering to look at those pics... especially b/c I also have a 19 year old son Thank god that he's OK. I guess it's lucky that my Ben has never mastered the 6-speed (in spite of about a dozen sessions with me ) You can see under my sig what he's drivin'...

On a happier note, there is a thread on Photo Gallery with a coupla pics of the White/Tan interior. If you like the combination of tan seats/door panels/carpet with black dash/trim, I think it looks pretty Take a look:

I would say 02 white/red.

I would also say, you should take your son to the track in the S so he can learn more about it's limits and be more comfortable with keeping control of the car and regaining control should he lose it.

Luckily he is ok. I still don't understand how the head protection thing works when rolling over (and the car trying to eject you) in the S but I guess it does....

My thoughts go out to you and your son. It's great that he's okay.
My condolences for the car, but I am quite certain you can find another one just like it, unless of course you want a different color, I'd go with red myself.
