Default Finally an S2K owner

Hi there...I'm up in Philly (originally from Gwinnett GA) and just got an 05 Silverstone Metallic S2000 with the black and red interior. I've wanted one since they came out but since I'm in college and previously worked in crappy restaurants since I was 16, I couldnt really afford one until now. Unfortunately I've had to go through some other not-so-beautiful hondas...
My very first civic (feel free to laugh):

I was ATTEMPTING to do some tray sliding at Andretti Speed Lab


My friend Ben making fun of my awesome front end.

After the awful blue civic, I upgraded my taste level a bit and got myself a hatch:




I eventually sold that, got a nice sorostitutemobile aka the 4Runner. Since it would be dumb with gas prices and other things to jack it up and put some super swampers on it, I traded it in for my cute little jetta:


My fiance and I had been talking about an M3 convertible but decided it was a little out of the price range at the moment. That was fine with me because I'd much rather have an S2K.



Every time I drive it, I think of my friend Wes who lost his battle to leukemia a few years ago. Some of you might know him because he was very active here. This was his:


So not only do I absolutely love my car, it means a lot to me to share something special with him even though he's gone.

Thanks y'all. Tray sliding was fun, although I wasnt very good at it.

When it comes to the car, my fiancee and I dont agree on the wheels. I'll let him pick them out as long as theyre black. He says no black wheels. He wants it to be classy but I want it to be a little more badass. What do you think?

Welcome to s2ki Nice shots of your ride -- did you take them at Valley Forge park?
