a lot of teenagers are definitely capable of buying s2000s at their going prices these days as long as they saved when they were kids

my cousins all saved all of their money from allowance and summer camp from childhood and had between 10 and 17k by their 18th birthday. they didnt buy s2000s with the money though, toyota sedans.

so it is possible, just highly unlikely. i didnt save for beans as a kid/ teenager and when i got my first integra, all my money went into it. i was broke almost all the time. terrible feeling. i recently had a chance to give up the s2000 for an nsx that had a minor oil leak but it would have meant giving up all my savings and i passed it up because i never wanted to feel that way again

i did get to roll in a couple cool cars during college though, based on luck and keeping my eye out for deals

my favorite college car: bought it just before my 21st birthday after buying a motorcycle for a really good deal, fixing it and selling it for much more

I think most people who own an s2k understand that it isn't a Civic or Eclipse and cherish the beauty of a clean s2000. I'm an 18 year old that has always loved the s2000 and hope to get one this spring. For right now though, here's my current car. Apologies for the cell phone pics.



And yes, those are altezza tail lights. I got rid of those as soon as I got the chance.
I had a 99 SH before my s2000. In fact I had both for about six months before I sold my prelude. I wish i could have kept it. Those are some bulletproof cars!!
That they are. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy it, but on the other hand I want something that I can say I worked for. My parents bought the car for me when I was 14. Now that I'm 18 and have had a steady job for almost 2 years now, I want to sell it and put what I've made towards something I can be proud of because my money has gone into it, not someone elses.

Love the car man, how do you do it? I make better money than most guys my age i know, but I still can't put aside enough money to put in my car. (mechanical engineer here too btw, been working for almost a year and still school fulltime)

I used to hate those wheels. with a passion. but they've been slowly growing on me, and seeing those pics I'm in love
What the hell happened to me ? Never thought i'd consider those wheels

^^^its called not paying bills lol. No amount of part time job can help with buying all those nice parts if you have bills. It would just never be enough.

More power to him, car looks great!

^^^ everyone was asking for the 18 year old kid that stands on his trunk for fun...... Well everyone, here he is, with a new name!

I guess banning someone from s2ki is harder nowadays considering they can just make another account.
Hes back lol
