Default Converted to a S2000

So, I bought a house and within a few hours I was able to shell out my BMW 335 for over 19k of equity. Well, now that I sold my vehicle, I needed to find a vehicle to drive, so I came across a S2000 on craigslist and within a span of less than 24 hours, I became a proud owner of my first Honda, a honda s2000. There was obviously the "downgraded" comments jokingly thrown at me, but in my eyes, a house, 19k from equity, and a S2000 isn't a bad deal. If that doesn't sound any good, then this will. I picked up a 2003 Sebring Silver w/ black interior w/ 15700 miles (previously driven by 3 older men) for $15000. I am stoked about owning a s2000 even though it will only be a seasonal driven car due to being located in Alaska. Either way, I am already looking forward to next summer! There's my introduction

Btw, here she is...

Wow! Amazing find, congrats on the new S! I still get those downgraded jokes about me and my STi, but I just couldn't just get away from an S haha.

Thanks for the comments. 99% of my friends all have or had Honda's in their life. Coincidentally, 3 of my friends have S2000's, but I picked mine up because I was relying on driving my uncle's Dodge Neon temporarily, but as soon as I saw this posted, I jumped right on it .....My first "mod," clear bra protection. I figured I'd protect the paint more so than anything. Anyways, I'm off to reading about the S2K!

Tell me about it. I got rid of my BMW for the better. Speaking of STI, I am on the verge of picking up a WRX today as my winter beater.
