Default Finally got my S2k after 6 Miatas...

Hi guys,
My last Miata was taken out by a geriatric red-light running Volvo woman and I decided, after 6 Miatas, a Mini Cooper S, 300ZX, it was time for the car I've wanted for 10 years so I started looking for an S2000.
Found a 2002 Silver with 30K miles owned by an older (50ish) woman who only drove it on weekend and kept it in her garage with a cover on it (I swear).
Anyway, I've never been more impressed with a car.
I usually do all sorts of work on engine, suspension, wheels, steering wheel...
Nothing to do with the S2000. Even the factory wheels look great.
Stereo sucks so that was the first thing to go.
I'm in the middle of my install that includes a Kenwood Excelon 994, Infinity components and a cheap Alpine amp (for now).
I'm also installing Aura bass shakers in the seats though I'm skeptical of them...

Anyway, I'm glad to be here.
Cheers,
-John

Congrats on your purchase You stuck with your Miata(s) longer than I did -- I had one for about 2 years before I bought my first s2k (no offense to the Miata; it's a great sports car, just not quite what I wanted). Great choice on the model year and color combo too

Very nice find, I have a 2003 Silver 'S' with 30k miles on it.
Most fun I've ever had in a car.

Stay safe.
