Default I've had my S2000 for a bit, want to introduce myself.

My name is Addison, and I own a 2002 Berlina Black S2000 with the full red interior. Now, I feel like I might get a bunch of crap from this, but I'm willing to share. I'm 15 years old. And I love my S. I have had her for about 5 months now, and I'm in love. I'm guessing you are all saying to yourselves, "this kid is gonna crash his car". But I am very careful with it and I would say I am a good driver. I have not gone to the track yet, but I plan to do so in the near future.
Anyways, please don't judge me for having an S2000 at my young age. I take good care of the S.
Yesterday, I got an ASM front strut brace for her. LOVE IT.
Thanks for reading.

Congrats, you got a great 1st car....be sure to get some snow tires if you're planning on driving it this winter.

I will for sure get snow tires if I do. I don't know if I will though, maybe occasionally to learn to drive RWD in snow better, but that would be it. It's too risky.

when i was 15, i had a 1990 Mitsubishi eclipse GS.
white with black top (not convertible. just the top portion of the car).

such good memories with that car.
i remember my folks buying it and keeping it in the garage til i was old enough to drive.
those last few months were pure torture!!


welcome.
you have a AWESOME first car.
please be careful with it.

I will. Promise. I love her too much to not be careful.

Here ya go!

Took this picture here in Denver.




Just after a nice car wash

There's me.

And finally, here's my latest mod to her.

ASM Front strut brace replica. (Replica only because it has very similar design to the ASM with the cross-brace and the strut brace itself.)

It makes an amazing difference. I corner even BETTER than before. I love it!

15? Up here in Canada you can start driving at 16 but only with a person who has had a full license for over 4 years.. Once you hit 17 you need to take another test to drive it on your own.

Nonetheless hope you enjoy it! Oh and for the money you'd spend on winter tires and rims, Id buy a winter beater
