Default New and on the lookout

Hello Everyone

I used to own a mk6 GTI and a mk6 R. In the middle of owing those 2 cars, I got married and had 2 kids, so now my cars consist of an 06 Buick Lucerne and 08 Sierra Denali. I bought a 82 GN400 bike to learn on with the hopes of getting a bagger this summer. I quickly found out that the motorcycle life is not for me. I need a drivers car again and something for me and the wife to get away with, so what have I chosen, an S2000. Part of the reason may be that I never got my first car (92 Honda Prelude) out of my mind after she got stolen from me when I was 18.

I recently test drove an 02 with ~50k on it and an 06 with ~30K. Im sure cost is subliminally at the forefront, but that 1000RPM sure makes a difference in how the car drives. I am currently on the lookout and have already been stalking as a guest for the past week or so. You guys have quite the knowledge base here.

Looking forward to finding the right car and contributing to the forum.

Only advise I'll give is find what's most important to you like color, if drive by wire is important, price miles etc and find the best car you can that meets your wants.

I found the car I wanted, hopefully drive it home tomorrow. And I turned down a yellow for a black one. Took your advice on the color.

Thanks. I have her home and in the garage, which is where I'll be if I keep ignoring my wife while on the net looking for stuff about the car. Haha

I'm going to checkout your link and start making a to do list.
