Not what am I thinking....it's what I thought. I bought it the other day, and drove it back from AZ. I drove though Colorado (where I stopped at Detailer's Paradise...owned by an ex-S2000 owner, Nin009).

I washed the dead bugs and bird off my car, had dinner with Nick, and went off from there.

Here are the rest of the pics (plus the car that was replaced):



At buyer's house in Arizona:





Leaving his house (last pic):


En route in Denver...stopped off at my friend's detailing retail shop so that I could wash off all the bugs (the shop owner is an ex-S2000 owner, Nin009, from this board):

 

As for responses to comments so far.

Wheels: These wheels are definitely better to look at and flow with the car better in person than in pics. They are chrome and cast...two things I don't care for. I'm a bit of a wheel whore, so these won't be the last wheels on the car by a long shot.

Drop: The car will be a daily driver. In Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, going lower than it is now is NOT an option. Also this is the wife's car....she's pregnant and will remain her daily driver after having the baby (Recaro seat upholstered in matching black leather is in the works).

Performance vs. VIP: I've always been more about the performance than the "style" thing. However, the 4.3 V8 has plenty of power for our needs. Navigation is awesome, leather is supple, and the car is REFINED....I could definitely get used to the luxury side of cars really quickly.

 

Last couple of pics:

In Iowa:




Quick jaunt to 110....couldn't take the pic and keep good control of the car with one hand. Got the pic with the needle passing 90


At home in the driveway:

 

I like it except for the rear lip spoiler. The trunk is square, the spoiler should be more linear. BTW what yr is that?

 

I respect the choice and the collection of cars. But that said, I don't ever see myself owning a Lexus or any other luxury car in my life, or atleast until I'm over 60.

 

Nice grill & drop, decent spoiler, fugly wheels.
Overall it looks pretty good - but new wheels would make a big upgrade.

 

I love it, its pure JDM VIP style and its exactly the type of stuff that i saw when i was in japan this summer. Black car with chrome wheels looks great with VIP style

 

how do you say Jones' in Japanese??......................or lemming for that matter.

 

I like everything but the wheels. They aren't horrible or anything, but they are a little too blingy for my taste. The front end and the stance on the car are very nice.

 

While I'm not particularly fond of those wheels, the fitment is nice.
