Default Make me keep my s2k!

So we need a sedan. The options are get an Audi A4 and keep the s2k or sell the s2k and get an S4. I'm sort of bored with the car. A did couple of things to the car when I first got it, spoiler, stereo, shift knob, cubby organizer(little things) I was looking for some used wheels for a while but couldn't find any I liked, may just buy some new ones if I keep the car. I was wondering if there was anything you guys did to your car that made you get excited all over again about it(not fi related). Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Every time I ever get the itch to sell it I just go for a drive in it and it goes away.

I think doing little things to it here and there might do the trick. I did a lot of research yesterday and found a couple things. Maybe you guys can see if you've had an experience with them

1. Drivers window auto down function doesn't work, when I put down the top the passenger goes all the way down but drivers side only goes down a couple inches. Think I might need to replace the window motor. Any idea how much that would be?

2. Day time running lights. I wanted to get them from this eBay link. Wanted to know where to ground these when installing

3. A clip broke on one of my side markers, it's taped on for now. Should I just buy a new set off eBay ? Is this common?

Go to Honda and get a replacement side marker free overnight shipping.

Get better tires and prep up the car so it drives straight and reliable. Hit VTEC whenever u can especially acclerating up to the freeway in the 6-8k rpm zone. If not enough, take it to autocross or something. I end up all sweaty w a big grin afterwards. Then put in a decent intake like K&N Fipk and good quality exhaust. Right now I'm afraid to pop in the SC kit sitting in garage.

Dont get me wrong, my daily is a Awd 300 HP turbo Volvo w active electronic suspension. While it easily punch to 100 mph, I much rather do that in the more twitchy S.

There are many of us finally able to get the S after years of pursuing due to various reasons. After all, its not a car you get to be frugal or practical.

There WILL be someone willing to take yours easily even if they need to get a loan. Assuming you have one in decent mechanical condition.

Some one in Social thread said he was offered good money at a dealer but turn it down, calling the s2k his therapy. Couldn't agree more.
