Just picked up a 2004 S2K with only 10.8k miles on it. Great ride, unfortunately it is yellow. Stoked to have my dream car and waiting on some money to start modding, however I don't think I can drive it until it airs out. The guy I bought it from was an Air Force retiree and the car smells like old man.

Now if only it would stop raining so I could put the top down and get some airflow going. Until then, black ice scented christmas tree freshener.

As for myself I'm from the bay area between Fairfield and Vacaville, 21, and excited to get some upgrades for my new ride.

welcome! and enjoy!

 

What does an old man smell like? And c'mon ,you know you like the yellow.Why else would you buy it? Not like it's the only S2k for sale in the bay area.I know it's only got 10,800 miles. Which makes one wonder how so much old man smell could have gotten embedded into it over six years. Anyhoo congrats on your new ride.

 

I love yellow on a S2K !
you 'll love it soon... i am sure ...

 

Welcome....I didn't "care" for yellow when I got my '05 last year. While being somewhat limited in what wheel colors look good on a yellow car, I've grown to love it. I usually end up staying at the Marriott in Fairfield right by the In-N-Out when I go out to that area for work. I'll keep an eye out for you next time haha.

 

I have no idea how it got embedded into the leather, but the black ice is helping. Any ideas where I should start looking for mods or what to start with? I was thinking a nice turbo.

 

Get 3m Leather and Vinyl Restorer and wipe down everything in the interior. That should get rid of the smell. I used to not care for the yellow s2000's, but that color has really grown on me.

 

congrats
