Default After 13 years of waiting...

Ever since the S2000 made its debut back in 99' I've been head over heels over it. I was about 8 or 9 years old when i saw it for the first time and knew right there and then that i had to have one! Every time i saw one on the road i would scream and say "Oh my god thats an S2000! I'm gonna get one, watch". I waited and waited hoping that one day my dad would at least buy one so i can sit in one but being a muscle car guy he never even cared about the S2000 calling it a "key chain car". When i learned how to drive i was given a 1969 Datsun 510 wagon as my first car. I hated the damn thing but hey it was a car. Later i moved to a Prelude SH and thought that was it for me. A buddy of mine was telling me that i should sell my lude so i can get a better car. I decided to test out cars to see what i like. I came across a 2000 silver stone with red and black interior. Once i drove it i was hooked! i wanted one so bad!!! unfortunately i couldnt make a deal in time with the owner so i lost the opportunity to buy it... I made it a point to save money so i can finally buy it. it took me two years from when i started saving and building my credit back in 2011. I was waiting till June but i just so happen to find two s2000's at some local dealers and decided to test drive. One was a black 03 ap1 and the other was an 07 NFR ap2. I loved the way both drove but i loved the nfr more! it had 24K on the clock and had everything included (minus the convertible cover). Now as of 3/9/13 i am a proud new owner of a 07' nfr s2k!!!! Definitely no regrets buying the car

Nice pick up man. I'm in the market for an S2K also. As soon as we get a contract extension at my job on June 1st, I'm pulling the trigger on a AP2. Thinking either NFR or LBP.
