Default 9 hours of hell well worth it

So on Saturday I spent 7 hours on/waiting for trains to Naperville IL (Suburb of Chicago). Then I spent 9 hours in a Honda dealership. Then 2.5 hours after they closed I got the keys to my 2004, Silver AP2. Got to drive it four hours home in the rain too.

Point of the story, I'm a brand new s2000 owner. Already the car has amazed me in its handling abilities and how fun it is to drive. So I thought I'd introduce myself here and say hi.

For some background. I own a 1995 Acura Integra which is being rebuilt for track use. My daily is a 1993 Honda Civic DX.
I owned a 1982 Porsche 924 for a little while but it never ran.
I have a good bit of experience with RWD vehicles. I worked in a shop that specialized in high end european cars. So its not completely foreign to me.

Here are a couple pictures. Pardon the rain and dirty car. It was still raining all day Sunday when I took the pictures.

Good way (or bad) on breaking in the S2000. Especially in the rain. I've had mine for almost 3 years and I hate driving in the rain. Congrats on the S2K.

I like driving in the rain. The sound of the rain hitting the top is unlike any other car I've driven.

Thanks for all the comments. Hopefully it won't rain today and I'll be able to do a really good wash and a couple coats of wax just to make her shine like she should. If I do of course I will take pictures.

Stock = yes.

Modified = yes. As far as I can see they sure do look it.
