As to what I should buy next, well there's always the new 4C (should Alfa really and truly return stateside) or an Ariel Atom or maybe I should just concentrate on the Wrangler. Jake, do you still have your notes on installing a hemi in a Wranlger
This has been bad news for sure. Maybe Alfa will sell state side again. The 4C would be a nice replacement. Don't know how you would do in the winter with an Atom though Finding another S2000 that has not seen winters would give you a lot more years in a Honda. The new Mazda looks nice in pictures but still doesn't get an engine. Lotus maybe? Lots of stuff out there depending on how much you want to spend. Good luck finding something.

Having a Wrangler means I don't have to worry about winter. It's the other 3 months of the year I have to worry about

As of today I've had the S for 14 years, I hope the roads get washed off soon so I can start it's 15th driving season.

And here my car is a young whippersnapper at 11.

Of course, my S2000 "birthday" isn't until the end of March, the 26th if memory serves.

Can't believe I've had a car this long. The longest I've ever owned a car by far.

The longest I've owned any vehicle is my Civic Si for 8 years this summer. Prior to that it was one of my Yamaha cycles back in the old country. The S2000 I will have had for 7 years this summer.

That has to be a record for a battery.

I'm wondering if any other upstate owners have had their S longer , I know Triple H is close, if he still has his Spa.
