Exclamation Pristine 04 Silverstone - New Owner

Hey everyone!

I picked up a beautiful 2004 Silverstone AP2 about a month ago. 23,000 miles and everything is is great condition. The engine bay is so clean it looks new. I am the third owner and both the previous owners were enthusiasts and took excellent care of it.

I am 22 years old and about to graduate college, so this is a graduation gift to myself. I've had my heart set on a roadster for about 2 years now, so I've been comparison shopping the S2000 with the Boxster, Z4, Solstice GXP / Sky Redline. I've found that the S2000 offered the right performance for the right price and I just loved the look of the car. The S2000 just had something unique about it, the engine characteristics (8000 rpm) are so different from anything else I've driven. I've worked hard to pay for this car, so its great to finally make my dream a reality.

These pics are with a fresh wash, claybar, and wax. I also did a diff and tranny fluid change this weekend as preventative maintenance. I want to do all the service myself, so this is a great learning experience as well.

Agreed. The silver is just so classy. My next choice would be Laguna Blue Pearl, but the 2006+ cars haven't really depreciated into my price category yet, haha.

I do kinda miss the stability control the newer cars have. Hope I won't need it, as this is my first RWD.
