WOW! Even the plastic back window looks brand new congratulations! Do you have any plans in the future for her as far as modifications, or are you looking to keep her factory fresh?
Lol this is me basically every day. Hood propped staring at the engine lol.. although I look at the car a-lot too...
I envy you folks with a garage space. My Grey Fox just toughed out a monsoon.
Oh, check for leaks! I checked mine and after 2 days of rain and I am so relieved that there's no leak anywhere. Also took it out for a brief drive in the rain, no leaks!

Oh, by the way...about the plastic window looking so good. When I picked it up his wife said she found a foam tube in the trunk and had no idea what it was for but asked me if I wanted it. Thanks to this forum I knew that her husband must have used it when he put the top down to keep the plastic window from creasing. I happily took it and told her what her husband must have been using it for and she was appreciative of me clearing up the mystery tube. I complimented her on what a great job her husband did preserving this car over the last 19 years. All in all a positive experience for both of us.
Well, my new to me AP1 is home safe and sound just before the rain started and supposedly a 1/2 foot of snow on Sunday!
MY2000, 21,000 miles, one owner and still smells new! My kids gave it their approval and I even scared the wife a bit showing her what the redline sounded like on some country roads! All is good with the world.
Thanks to all who helped with advice and acted as a sounding board to me. I appreciate the help...and yes, I keep going back to the garage for one last look as I got the exact color I wanted. I actually look at the engine more than the car so I may need to just keep the hood propped open for a while to save the me trouble of opening and closing it constantly...
Congratulations JRG2000. That S2000 sure dresses up the garage nicely. I agree with you about the engine. Honda did a great job laying everything out and leaving things accessible. Such an old school, straightforward approach. My son inherited my old Audi A4 and we were working on it together a few months back. With covers over every part of that engine bay it served as a reminder of just how nice the S2000's engine bay really is.
Honestly as much as I enjoy this car, I wouldn't own one without a garage. There are multiple reasons for that but theft would be my primary concern (in my case based on personal experience). I look at the world differently after racking up a few more decades since I was in my 20's, lol.
Congratulations on your purchase. It is a twin to the S2000 we bought the weekend they were released in the USA. Except we had red interior.
Megulars has a plastic polish we used on the rear window and it looked new after each cleaning, even when we sold the S 11 years later. Enjoy it.
