Just a Guy Who Loves this Car...
Hey all,
I'm probably gonna start lurking on this forum like crazy so I figured I'd hop in and say hello.
My brief story:
Basically, I've had a liking for S2000 for awhile, and fell in love with it more recently and am completely determined to get one sometime. However, I'm currently in college and despite having a job both at school and at home, getting enough cash to get a used S2000 isn't about to happen anytime I'm afraid...
I'll be completely honest... This would be my first car, which I'm sure some of you would discourage. When I say first car, I mean the first car I would own myself, as oppose to using family cars and whatnot. But still, I'm afraid I'm in love and not a lot, barring a horrific test drive, which I think you'll agree won't happen, can change my mind. However if you have anything to weigh in on this, please feel free, as the soonest I'd buy a car would be six months, with the longest being... Well, about two or three years.
Anyhow, that's my life. As far as the S2000 is concerned at least.
Brief auto history for lulz:
-Audi A4: I miss this guy dearly, it got sold off about a year ago.
-Honda Accord: The thing I drive the most nowadays.
-Volkswagon Phaeton: No comment. This is a freaking tank.
- Lexus Something-or-Other Sedan: Also a tank. But that's probably because I compare everything to the A4.

Why would anyone discourage you from getting an S2000 as a first car.... go for it bro!
This isn't like bikes where you're some n00b asking whether it's a good idea to start with literbikes right away...
The S2000 is RWD so it's a proper sports car, dealing with oversteer is probably the only thing you're not used to, but look at it this way... back in the day almost all cars were RWD and somehow the human race survived! LOL!
