Default Finally, I can introduce the Sebring Silver.

So I've been ghosting s2ki for a few weeks. I originally owned a ep3 that got flooded- then determined totaled shortly after. I've owned the ep3 for nearly 7 years and really appreciated all that it's been through for me - and thanks HONDA!! for making such an awesome car.

Right around the same time the ep3 got totaled I had been talking to my brother about buying a new car since we both just graduated college and landed good jobs. I mentioned it was time to sell the ep3 and use the money towards a new ride.

I wanted a big car , the honda element SC was my first choice. I've always liked it's styling and loved that honda made the newer model a single color rather than two toned. I liked that i could carry hella shit in them since my bro and I - own our own design firm & we need to carry many things. Turns out my bro also liked the element and bought one a week later!! HAHAHA. SUCKS.

Since he bought an Element I couldn't. I didn't want to own a similar car. Plus we are roommates and on top of that have the same career. it would be weird.

My next choice was the s2000. I figured him and I can alternate cars and he agreed.

I originally wanted a white one- but couldn't seem to find many.. I guess white is a popular color. The ones i did find had tan interior and i didn't like that look. It took about two weeks of craigslist'ing and test driving for me to find the perfect one for me. I settled with a nice Sebring Silver S2000.

Here she is the garage the day i bought her:



A week after i bought the s2k- I took a short vacation to go see my family and NEW baby niece. I came back to this :



I went ahead and called insurance and had them deal with it. In the meantime a fellow s2ki member wanted to trade parts of his red interior for my black. (JayJones)

Here are some pictures of my black interior:



The Day we traded interiors:











JayJones Finished!!!



Mines : This was before i got my soft top fixed so the top is quite dirty.



----

After we finished I asked JayJones and his friend Kevin to help me determine what the clicking noise was coming from the bottom of my car. This noise just started literally a mile from my GF house. This was where Jay and I decided to meet. Turns out it was the differential. It was blown!!!

Long story short. I ordered a new/used differential - waited a week and spent a saturday putting in the new differential.

After the differential I finally scheduled an appointment with insurance and got my soft top fixed. I just got the car back this week!! and here I AM!!!!!!!!!!

This is her now:

Yes i need a drop. The wheel gap is killing me.
