Luckily I was able to keep the S2000 though!

After 5 years of driving my AP1 every day, I can finally give her a break. Bought originally with 48,000 miles, she now sits at 156,000 (and still runs like a champ). I'ev yet to have any major problems with this car too. I replaced the clutch disc under warranty since there was a TSB for it, I've replaced the starter and timing chain tensioner. That's it.

Getting a new car was a weird feeling. I have never owned two cars at the same time. When I picked it up, I almost felt like I was neglecting the S2000. Like I wasn't giving it attention.

I realized though it means I can keep this car for as long as I want, and have a little more fun with it. Now it doesn't need to be practical or comfortable. Now I can afford to beat on it and pull it apart since it's not transportation I rely on.

All in all, it's a cool feeling. I'm ready to turn this thing into a track monster.

Oh and what are your thoughts on a new wheel color? I've always wanted to do white on silver again.

 

Dam, whats the new car bro? And now you can get your exhaust back.

 

Having two cars is awesome-until registration is due lol. It is a big pain to keep two cars clean so hopefully you have a garage. So what is the new car?

 

AWSOME!! Glad you kept the S and get a DD now!! Wish i could do the same :/

 

I picked up my S as a 2nd car for now... I haven't driven my other car since I got it (2 weeks) lol. As for your wheels question I like gunmetal on silver. White is hot as well.

 

I'm about to buy a beater for my DD, my S is about to be a garage king until I'm ready to tear up the pavement

 

damn they had a tsb on ap1 clutch disks.. well f@#k me i couldve had honda do it a couple years ago..i had under 50K when mine when out

 

MIAMI4QUAD - You could have. I had to push them but they would have done it. It just gets loud on deceleration.


Registration does suck. Luckily I got Classic Car insurance on the S2000. I told them it was a show car. $256 for the full year, you just have to pay it all at once. Well worth it. It has to stay locked and in a garage which is cool with me.

The daily driver is a 2004 4Runner. It's the 4.7l V8. I'm averaging over 21mpg right now according to the dashboard. Not too bad.

 

Wait a sec., so you only pay 256 for the S for a year? Nothing else?

 

Correct. You can't put more than 7,000 miles on it. It's listed basically as a show car under the policy, but the cool thing is that you value the car as well.
