Hi everyone 
-
I haven't been spending much time on s2ki for a long while (when I went from having a "real" job and getting paid to post to being a consultant where I only earn $$ when I actually work).
Anyway .... I just had a very tragic experience. I was on the freeway Saturday in stop and go traffic, stopped. I happened to look in my rearview mirror and saw a black SUV barreling towards me. Yep ... she slammed into the back of my baby, plowing me underneath the back of a pickup truck. Airbags deployed, car is a disaster.
Luckily, as with so many s2k crashes, the passenger compartment was completely intact and neither my husband or I were hurt. I got one small scratch from the seatbelt and bruised knuckles. I totally appreciate how well this car is made for safety.
Needless to say, after I got done bawling my eyes out as they extracted my S from underneath that truck, I realized it's undoubtedly totaled so I'm in the market for a new S.
I'll be hanging out here trying to get up to speed on everything that's changed since I bought my MY02 over 4-1/2 years ago. I was originally thinking "I really want the 9k redline, so I'm just going to find a low-mileage AP1," but I stopped by a dealer yesterday and the new ones do have some nice little extras.
To anyone who's owned both -- what are your impressions of the driving experience when comparing an AP1 to an AP2?

Hey Red!
Yeah, it's sure changed since then. There are a lot of S's sitting on dealers' lots all over SoCal. I'll probably pay less for this one than I did my '02 in '03 (and that was a smokin' deal at $29k).
