Default Didn't think it would happen but here's my story.

Hi to all ! Just a couple of months ago I would have never thought that I would be here now. I took my 93 civic in for some work at the dealer's and in the front lot there was a S2000. So me with about an hour and a half to kill told the salesman that recently sold me a new civic for my mom, " I want to take that!, for a drive" while pointing at the S2000. So he said "Let me get a plate". I have always liked the S2K but had never drove one and knew very little about the car and with that off we went. I was amazed at the 9k red line and how the little car handled. On the odometer was a mere 5500 miles, I thought it was on a trip setting but the salesman told me the story of the car and that was the real miles! So here I was ripping up the road in a nearly NEW 2003 S2000!! The salesman told me that there was someone coming to see this car later that afternoon, I thought to myself He was in for a very nice car to call his own. It was more than I wanted to spend and I didn't really need another toy. So later that afternoon while waiting for my repairs to be done I met the guy that was coming to look at the S2K, we talked a bit about the car and soon there after I went home.
I was interested in getting online later that night to find out more about the Honda S2000, so for several nights I learned a lot about the S2000. This little car was slowly winning me over. To my amazement that guy didn't buy the Silverstone 2003 S2000 with now 5600miles !! I went back a week later and the car was still there and they still wanted a top dollar for the car. I had seen a 2002 with 11k on the odometer on the internet and went to see it . A hot little red number the car looked showroom new at first, further looking turned up some low on rubber rear tires, appears that this car was a wife's car that got handed down to a son who musta ran the crap out of the thing. The clutch was abused and it drove nowhere as nice as the Silverstone 2003.
I went back to my dealer's lot and bargained my way into the Silverstone baby setting on the lot. I now have a little over 5900 miles on the car and can't get enough time behind the wheel. I work alot of hours and put the car away for the winter but spring is looking really fun, can't wait.
So I may have a lot of questions so be prepared, I look forward to being a member here.

I've been looking at a lot of the galleries and there are a lot of beautiful machines here.

Well I live in the land of SALT, salted winter roads that is! I have more than one car, I have a 93 Civic with about 61k on it but it's now a winter beater and my daily work car and gets around 40mpg. I don't want to leave my S2K at work. Well not one in this nice a shape and you are just beating the car up when you don't have to by driving it in all this mess on the roads this time of year here. My S2000 is going to be a toy that is pampered and polished and enjoyed on pleasant weather days.
