Default Finally bought one!

Hello,
I have been looking for a SSM s2000 for almost a year and finally found one. The color had to be SSM, black/red interior would have been perfect but all black works too.
I found a 2003 with 54,000 miles. It was a 2 owner car that was immaculately taken care of. There is a little road rash on the lower front bumper, that's it. The top
looks brand new as does the interior. The tool kit in the trunk looks to have never been touched. It is 100% stock and will stay that way! other than the clear side markers I just installed. I look forward to being a part of this community. I have spent many hours reading this forum and learning about this amazing car, thank you for all of the valuable
information!

Pictures are in my gallery. Why do they upload upside down when I attach them to this post??

The car will need tires soon. I started a thread in the tires section looking for recommendations, would love to hear all opinions. Thanks

Welcome!

That's really strange that they are upside down. The only thing I can suggest is rotating them before uploading. Bridgestone doesn't make S-02s anymore. I believe the S-04s are to be considered the modern replacement. I currently run S-04s but am seriously considering going with RE-11As next time around, just based on all the great reviews on them from this community. Can't go wrong either way IMO.

Julie, thanks for the welcome. The pictures were not upside down on my iPad when I uploaded them, but they end up upside down once uploaded, very weird. I thought I saw some info on this problem a while back buy have not had a chance to look for it. Tire rack still shows S-02's in stock and I will check out the S-04's you mentioned.
