Howdy, s2ki!
Howdy everyone. Long time board lurker, and I finally decided to make in intro.
My name is Todd, and I'm a college instructor in NW Ohio. I am also a freelance photographer.
Currently, I drive a 2003 NHBP Honda Accord V6 6 speed coupe, and it has about 140k miles on it. I am in the middle of a mental tug of war with what to do with the car. Sell it and get a nice AWD car for a daily that could be useful in the winters? Or keep it and get a nice s2k to go along with it.
Well, yesterday, I decided the second option to be the better of the two. So, I'm in the market for an s2k. I've seen some fairly good deals on them, and now I just need to do some research on what to look for when purchasing one. So, I hope to be here for a long time, and thought I might introduce myself. Thanks!

Two year bump/update:
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous bumps I've ever done on a forum, but I'm finally back to post an update.
In the almost two years since I made my introduction post, I am still daily driving my Accord. It now looks like this:
Got a nice suspension on it, some Mugen GPs (for a steal, brand new in the box). Car has about 185k on it. Only complaint about the car is the paint's clearcoat is failing on pretty much the entire top part of the car. I'm going to keep the car and use it as my daily, but thats besides the point. The reason for this bump is that I finally did it. I got an S2000.
I'm about to fly out to Dallas to pick up a 2008 LBP with under 50k miles, and a Honda Certified warranty, to boot.
I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get it. I'm planning on driving it back to Bowling Green from Dallas with an overnight stop in Nashville at a relative's place. So it looks like this will be my new home for the next few years! I look forward to getting to know everyone (for real this time!)

Thanks, guys!
I'm not in any hurry, so I'm going to take my time and do it right (even though I jumped on my current honda because I couldn't find one anywhere when I was looking)
I'm not looking for a super low miles one, but something with less than 50,000 on the clock. I was hoping to spend around $15k for one, but since I'm not selling the Accord, I can pick up one for a little more.
Any advice on what to start looking for (common problems, issues, etc?) Even a push in the right direction would help. Thanks!
