I'm also picking up a LBP S2000 on Saturday; my first as well. Except my drive home is about 1100 miles. Wish I had a shorter drive back.

The RSX-s/S2k might be a nice garage combo, but the Accord V6 6spd/S2k garage combo might be a tad better....
Oh wow, that is one hell of a trip!! Hope you can take your time and enjoy the trip back home.

As for the Accord v. Rsx comment, I couldn't disagree more
I'm willing to bet I can fit more things in my RSX, handle better around a corner and win in a drag race.

But honestly, my RSX has been with me for 6 years/75k miles and has been the absolute best car I have ever owned.

Be safe! I pick up my S2000 tomorrow and I have around 500 miles to drive back home
I'll take the bet on all three of your challenges in regards to the Accord/RSX-s combo. I was just saying it would be a better combo for comfort's sake... The RSX-s was no where near as comfortable as my Acccord is... but it was much nimbler in stock form.

And how'd your drive go? i just got home. Love the car!

Comfort wise...then yes I'll conceed, although I am able to make a two person bed in the back of the RSX, and that's pretty cool.

Glad you made it home safely. Did you drive straight through? My buddy and I had to stop as we were practically hallucinating due to lack of sleep. Cannot imagine having to drive more than double the miles we did

Congrats on the S man, looks good and sounds like it's in great condition at 6-7k miles. Mine was at 8202 mi and I've had a hard time keeping them off lol. Enjoy the ride, you're going to love it.
Thanks again yeah not driving it is going to be difficult, and I can safely say I know exactly what you mean...btw, cannot wait to get a look at your CR

Glad to know you're liking the transition. I cannot stop taking the S2K to work, we've had such nice weather here that I drop the top every night coming home. I'm glad I still have my RSX-S tho, for the not so pleasant days.

update: 45 days after purchasing the car I finally have real license plates, purchasing out of state is quite a hassle!

Yup, we have one of the least produced and I think most attractive colors out there on the S.

Welcome to the LBP club. Time to find your local autox and track to get your new baby stretching its legs

Welcome and congrats on the new ride. LBP is such a nice color. Very rare to see one around my area. Be prepared to receive many complements about the color. I know I do.
