Welcome! Looks like I have some competition in getting those wheels I really feel like I got a steal for my car now, although I guess in the states we have a few more lurking. Have fun enjoy the site!

I'm from Utah but I'm stationed in San Diego area. I will be going to WOW's in Utah next season, but mostly I'll be doing stuff in the San Diego area. Pictures of my car to come..
Welcome brother, and happy late veterans day. I'm sure you will love your S, but if your semi new to it or RWD take it slow at first, they get super slippery esp in low traction conditions. I know it's usually pretty nice in the SD area, jealous I never got to stay there for any extended period of time.

Enjoy.

Eric

Hey everybody!
I don't own a S2k, but I've been browsing this site for quite some time so I figured why not. Every S2k owner I've ever met have been nothing but super cool with me so i hope you'll all do the same! Currently own a 01' Impreza RS sedan (on its way out unfortunately) and co-own a '12 Indigo lights mica Mazda 3 6 speed manual with my brother. Saving some money for some RWD. If I can get enough money I would love an S2000, if not then a first gen miata. Neither are very practical but i could care less. I'm young (20) so my big fear is the insurance. Would love some estimates as to what i can look forward to paying to insure an S2000. Also any tips for someone going into RWD for the first time?
Thanks

Welcome! The insurance thing is going to be up to all the variables that make up your quote. For me it jumped up quite a bit I think about 1000 per 6 months or something. To me it was worth it though, all in all I am paying less for it than if I were to go get a car payment for a newish car, hell it's probably cheaper than a lease at this point.

As for the tips just take it easy and learn the car. Don't go out and go balls to the wall right away. The first time you drive it in wet or slick conditions be very alert and aware, the simplest turn will break traction. Throttle control is your friend!
