Default Just got a red one!

Hi all. I have been reading this forum for like two years now, and it took about two years for me to decide to get the S2000. S2000 was the first car I considered, but I also thought about M3 E46 and E92, used 911, 350z, 370z, sti, evo, , but I finally settled on the S2000. camry was my first car.

So I just got it on the 22nd and so far I am absolutely loving it! Just the way it takes corners, and the 4 banger spinning up to 8k. O man. makes all the cars on the freeway seem really really slow... and it's just godly on the twisties.

last night I took it through the hills and it was just mind blowing for me. too good.

It's a 2007. when i took possession it had 3.4k miles. i have added about 200 miles in 2.5 days =)

one thing though, i am a bit disappointed that the engine spins at 4k when I cruise at 75mph. that's a bit high and not too kind on mpg. it is my daily driver afterall.

ok enough talking. pictures below.

And gas mileage when cruising in 6th should be in the 28-30mpg range...which is pretty good for a sports car like the s2k.

I think it's one of the perks of being a paying member.

Nice! Congrats and welcome to the NFR + tan club. Car looks great (and having the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop doesn't hurt!).
