From CRX to S2000
So about two years ago I picked up a 1991 CRX SI, in really great shape. Drove that as my daily until I decided I wanted to restore her. So now I'm driving a 97? 98 Maybe... Dodge ram 1500. Works out good because winter is right around the corner. Okay enough about stuff you guys don't want to hear. I have three Honda's on my to own list. First that I have already a CRX, second which I just recently acquired 
a s2000, and finally one day hopefully a NSX 
Okay on to the s2000.. I decided I was going to get one only if it was exactly how I wanted it. Had to be a AP-1(9k red line!!!) but a 2003 because of the rear glass window, and it is the newest AP-1. Had to be White with tan interior and fairly low miles in good shape. Not to picky? Well comes to find out it was quite the task. After days and days on Craigslist, Auto Trader, and a few other sites nothing! So I decided to do a simple Google search for "white s2000 for sale". Well found two that fit my guidelines. One in Florida and one in Ohio. Since I'm in PA I opted for the one in Ohio, it also had less miles. So contacted the owner worked out a deal and to Ohio I went. 7 hours there 7 hours home 
and Im a happy owner of a S2000. This past weekend is when I went, I forgot to mention. So its a 2003 GPW with tan interior, 58,xxx miles and in awesome shape. Came with ALL original documents and service records, OEM cover, OEM tonnue cover, OEM floor mats, both sets of original keys along with valley key, sticker price, window tag, etc, everything. The previous owner didn't clean it up for me though... But I would have still done it myself anyways..Today I cleaned the interior from top to bottom and same with the exterior minus the engine bay, that's next. Checked tire pressure and all fluids, which will be changed soon, and shes ready for hibernation for winter. What a horrible time to buy an s2000 by the way. The awesomeness of driving it makes it hard to withstand!! But she will be put away until warm weather. Ive been looking around the site a lot and its awesome. Cant wait to get things rolling with this car. And... on to a few pictures.

Thanks for the welcomes. And no, not wrecked in a ditch? Its actually a dirt driveway I was parked on haha. So the gas gauge the last bar next to the empty line is not showing up? Anyone know the problem? And when I lock the passenger door by flipping the lock on the drivers door the passeger door locks, but when I unlock using the driver door the passeger wont unlock. Anyone know about that?
