Way back when, like I mean wayyyyy back when, I left my sporty car roots and started tinkering with Grand Nationals. I've had four of those beasts (counting the 89 TTA) and, they were fun and a hoot to drive as long as the road was straight and you weren't in a big hurry to stop. In late 1999 I heard Honda was coming out with a "sports car" and, from the day I saw it I knew I had to have one. About two weeks ago a Grand National freak heard my car was on the market becuase I was going to buy an ISF. The guy showed up at my house with a big wad of money... bye bye turbo Buick. After being insulted by every Lexus dealer in Florida in my quest to purchase the F car a little light came on in my head. (It happens sometimes when I don't hear those voices.) Why not keep that perfectly good IS350, pay it off, and use the left over greenies to pick up an S2000. I did, and I am glad I did. I'm pretty sure I would qualify for one of the senior citizens on this forum (any other Q-Tips out there?) and I doubt that I fall into the demographics of a typical S2000 buyer but I've always marched to the tune of a different drummer, hell sometimes I don't even hear the band... but I know what all of you know... these are fine little cars in every respect. Picked up a new Laguna Blue car over in Tampa last week... it was well worth the drive from Central Florida... got the perfect car (you don't see too many Laguna blue ones, no?) Got a killer deal and couldn't be happier. I'm now enduring the tideous break in period and playing it by the book. I will no doubt be bugging you folks with all of the newbie questions like how many miles before swtiching to Syn-oil (Amzoil) what's out there to keep that rag top in good shape, etc... written way too many words to simply say howdy and let you all know how much I appreciated this forum when I was researching and learning about what was new in S2K world... I walked away from years of go-kart racing, a little bit of SCCA, and a bunch of autocrossing to join the dark side and get into point and shoot, straight line cars... man, I forgot what I was missing. I've owned a gaggle of MBG's, Midgets, Sprites, and even a broken down Porsche... the S2000 is 'da bomb! Thanks for listening.

Thanks... glad to know I'm not alone...

 

Name's Sean. Friend of mine just bought a 2000 s2k berlina black with only 9900 miles on it. He's currently stationed in Germany for the army so I'm doing some research for him and his plans for his s2k. I own a 1997 Honda prelude turbo and work at a Honda dealership and I love the s2k's and hope to own one someday without having to give up the lude. My friend's plans are to get a hardtop, supercharger, and tein suspension so far. Right now its completely bone stock. I'll be posting in other topics about my questions for his setup.

 

Hi everyone..recently bought a 2008 S2000 CR out of the states and am almost finished the registration process for bringing her all the way to Canada!

Wow. not many S2000s in Kentucky post on here. not that I've seen anyways. I'm originally from Owensboro, though due to the Air Force, I now live in San Antonio Texas.

 

Hey Guys, Just bought a 2002 Sebring! I'm in Connecticut...looking to meet and race with some other s2k owners!!!

I bought the car solely for A Stock Autox...and some fun street driving. I come from the world of High 11 second DSM's,....so the s2000 is an adjustment! What an awesome car. Looking forward to battling with my brothers MRS in the back roads. Cheers.

 

Hey, welcome Forced! There is a lot of good info in the Racing & Competition forum on autox set up:

I'm not sure what s2ki region would best suite you...but there is Metro NY and Upstate NY. Those are probably closest to Connecticut.
