almost an S2000 owner
Well, fiance and I went to a dealership this past weekend to look at a nice looking Rio 2004 S2000. Sadly when we arrived I saw the car and noticed it had been lowered, so the information I was given by the dealership wasn't correct, but I decided to test drive it anyway. Glad I did. I now know, without a doubt, that this is the car I want (having never driven one before that), but I also know that I cannot feasibly purchase one at this time. My original plan was to buy one around September/October, but after a long discussion at the dealership with my fiance, we decided that not only was the price way to high (15,600 and I wouldn't pay more than 14000 for this particular car), but a 2 seater is just not feasible considering I already have a 2 seater car. The only 4-door car I really like is the Acura TL, they just happened to have one so I test drove it as well, and decided I didn't like feeling like I was in a space ship (with all the freak'n buttons on the center dash). I've now settled to either a Honda Accord or Acura TSX (I prefer the later, but it depends on price). Unfortunate I know, but I plan to replace my CRX with an S2000 after I purchase a new daily driver. Basically I need a 4 door car more than a weekend car at this time. Sad as it is, maybe in a year or two I can get the S2000 I actually want: Laguna Blue!!!!!
It sucks to have such an epiphany, but maybe I'll get a raise and have one sooner than I thought.

Good luck with the S2k search.
