I don't know about you guys but mine sparkles in the dark
You guys can meet up early at 3:00 and I'll just be a bit late.

If its 11 on Sunday the top is going down. Enough said.

Update: After 11 days of ownership, and approx. 1200 KM's (so many, I had to go to Red Deer twice)... I'm still lovin' it.

My only complaints:

-Clutch squeaks when I depress the pedal.
-That sound when the car is decelerating between about 3,500 and 2,500 RPM. Its a bit rough for sure.
-Rear window looks like crap.
-Can't shoulder-check out drivers side (I'm dealing with this fairly well)
-I miss the intake sound. AEM CAI is on order tho.
-Too many looks! hahaha.

Most of those issues can be fixed with a trip to the dealer, which I'll hopefully do on Monday.

Look forward to meeting everyone! All I ask is that I need to take off by 4:45 or so, going to Lethbridge for a business meeting.

As you say, there is a fix for all of these.
The clutch squeak could be as simple as lubing the pivot under the dash.
The clutch buzz can be fixed via a TSB but may come back.
The rear window can be polished and cleaned up and protected with static cling OR replaced by the dealer under warranty.
You can get the convex left side mirror through MUZ. I have it and it's great.

Yeah, pretty much a fix for everything. I put the convex left mirror on my Christmas list.. my Dad liked the idea because its a safety item, haha.

He's a bit of a hypocriate considering he took my car to 8 grand in 3rd gear, but I'll forgive him

You know what sucks? When I was shopping for deals on S2K's... I only found 3 for sale in all of Alberta... mine being the best deal.

Now Henniger Toyota has a red one with 11,000 km's on it for what I paid for mine ($39,900)... I guess there isn't much I can do tho. I dunno if I'd want red anyway.

I guess the used S2000 market is slow. Henniger had that one forever, it used to cost 44 000 then the price kept going down.

And to add, that one at Heninger is absolutely mint. I have seen the car inside and out, and could find very little wrong with it. It's almost as good as Woodson's. Almost being the operative term here.

No regrets Koala. Enjoy your ride.
Happy motoring
