Default 14 years in the making

Hello everyone,

So my story began about 16-17 years ago when I made the switch from owning Volkswagen's to Honda's. My first Honda was a 94 civic del sol. Great car, fun to drive, and very reliable. Vermont winters ate the body up, but it still ran great when I sold it with 179k. When the S2000 first came out.......OMG! I wanted one in the worst way, but it was financially out of reach, so after the del sol, I purchased a 04 civic si. This is currently my daily driver for the last 8 years.
3 years ago my friend gave me a 95 Miata. It was in rough condition, but again, reliable, and a great platform to have fun with and learn RWD. So for the last 3 years I built the Miata up to have even more fun with ( chassis bracing, suspension, etc. ).
However, the desire to own my affordable dream car was still with me. At this point I started looking seriously, because I could finally afford one. I looked and looked, and finally after about a month I found the one. 5 hours away, silver ( perfect color for me ), supercharged!!!, and wide 949 6ul's, and low mileage. I had to have it. It took 14 years to happen, but as they say, good things come to those who wait.
So, now I am the proud owner of a 2005 Sebring Silver S2000. The previous owner was selling do to health issues. This was his baby. He took very good care of it, and now I will continue to do the same.

The day I got the Miata.


The Miata after Mod's.


The dream car.


A little extra GO!!!
