Default Newbie from Boston (don't own an 2k YET)

Hi S2KI forums,

My name is Patrick.
19 years old , got my license about a year ago.
Live in Boston for 3 years now, Born and raised in The Netherlands

Drive a 2000 camry now & own a chevy s10 Extreme with manual 5spd

Recently I've been saving money to actually buy an s2000. Not just to have it but to actually please my little 9 year old brother that's crazy about this car. He has autism and he just has a thing about this car. Every time it gets mentioned he goes crazy . I've tought him about the differences between the AP1 and AP2 etc. (i just made his addiction worse )

I currently work with him and my other younger brother at home as a personal care attendant. It's my job to take care of them at any time during the day time and at night time from 2-6am. So I've been trying to save as much money as possible via the job I have and get mine and his dream come true


Wish me luck !

Hi Patrick

You seem like a great person. I'm 42 and my older brother and I are both motor heads. We've shared our love of cars and bicycles since we were teens. To this day he's my best friend.

Welcome to the forum hope you find a nice S2000.

Thank you very much ! As of now I'm going along patient indeed. I've already found a few but my dad owns a shop and he's a mechanic.
Knows alot more than I do. He told me on a few of them already to stay away from them , one even had a check engine light on CL

patience is key , told my brother that too

Nice that you have a family member that knows about cars.

You could post up some potential deals on here https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/953...-thread-vol-2/ We can give you some opinions on your searches...should come in handy as we are S2000 owners already.
