Default Another New Owner

It seems like yesterday I was drooling over the concept pictures of a new sports car from honda...2.0L 240HP, 9K redline, it was the stuff dreams were made of.

And now finally after 7 freakin years, my dreams became reality.

Yesterday afternoon, about 4:30, I took possession of my 2006 Laguna Blue Pearl S2000.

Sure its not the exact car as described, but hey either way I'm ecstatic. I actually woke up this morning and had to go check the garage to make sure I didn't dream it.

Anyways, sorry for the extended post, but I'm just so happy I had to share. Look forward to meeting some other members and enjoying this amazing car.



David

Congrats and welcome! Unlike most things that fail to live up to lofty expectations, the S just keeps getting better! Enjoy and be safe out there.

Good for you.
Us Laguna Blue's gotta stick together.
And now you'll be cruising, top down, with the best color out there this summer.

ONEQUICK: thx

tinkfist: thx and yea I haven't stopped smiling yet. Having had a bad experience with a previous rear-wheel drive roadster, I'm taking my time with it and keeping an eye out for empty parking lots to "practice" in...

radcliffe: lol...i liked the color from the photos online...i LOVED the color when I saw it in the showroom. Haven't seen another one on the road yet though so I feel kinda special right now.
