Can't wait to see what you guys do...everybody is moving along. Version, looks like your going my direction now...loud single ehh...quiet dual with tuning = nice. Future plans for SC for me...both Justins looking to do the same.

And if you do find an NSX Version...get it, they are great cars, and I don't think ANY S2000 owner will tell you not to get one if you can. Quite different from the S in many ways, and very similar in others...you having driven them I'm sure you understand how.

Anyway, good luck to everybody again. I'll probably be sparse for quite some time, I'm taking 20 credits this semester, and all senior classes too. But it puts me right on course to graduate in Spring, which is 1 year early for me, and I'll have only be out of HS for 3 years at that point too. Then, I might be in the game to really start competing again, until then its small stuff for me.

I envy you guys, I took 5 years off after my first year of college...I'm just now finishing up my AA this fall with Dynamics, Principles of E.E., and Engineering Computer Graphics. After that, it's on to UCF (probably) for Mechanical Engineering.

what did you do in those 5 years off? work?

I'm hoping to be done just before I become 23 . Major in multimedia production, and I already have conections to get a job right away afterwards. Not sure if i'll go for my masters right away though because of it.

Hey, thanks guys...ya I'm finishing up a Bachelors in Aeronautical Sciences with a Minor in Aviation Meteorology. And I'll be turning 21 in Jan. so, ehh I'm a young'n but I'm happy to be getting done with school. Although I like the environment I hate not having any money, also good luck/congrats to all of you. I didn't realize so many of you were in school as well. Cool to see others in school with my same interests, cause in reality, its rare...and many who are into cars are douchebags.

Yea, I worked for a couple of different Energy Management (controls) contractors through the years, mostly with my family business. I currently engineer the controls packages we install into schools / government sites all over southwest florida. I've been working in the field now for long enough, that I have some very decent connections made with some very large engineering firms that are chomping at the bit for me to finish my degree

I currently rep the Automated Logic product line, as the accounts manager and application engineer of Boyd Brothers Service, Inc.

I do alright, but I want more. This degree will allow me the opportunity to acquire that "more"

^I agree 100%

I went to school (started Fall of 2000) for two years, took two years off, then went back. I had a 2.3 GPA when I left after 2 years, and have worked my ASS off since I went back. I have only gotten 3 B's in the past 5 semesters (the rest were A's)! and I'm up to a 3.3 now.

I'm a BFA Art Education major with a concentration in ceramics at Georgia State University and plan to teach high school art when I graduate. I plan to enroll in a ceramics MFA program after I graduate, and will probably end up teaching college eventually.

I won't be making the big bucks but my girlfriend will be She's an Econ/Int'l Affairs co-major at Georgia Tech with a minor in Spanish. She's also learning Mandarin Chinese. I tell her once we're married I'll be giving her little surprises like telling her "hey honey, I bought a new turbocharger with the credit card, hope you don't mind"

How is the NSX similiar to the S2000?
