Sorry to hear that Manny...That rain must have been like that storm we were caught in!!!

I have been thinking about selling the stook also...I think the only other car that would make me happy is a 2002 Z06...sure it AIN'T that pretty and the interior sucks...but OMG the power!!!

But I decided for now at least I will keep the s2k and get a bike...cheap and should keep me happy

Good luck with the repairs

Manny, that really sucks, sorry to hear of this.

Have you considered the purchase of another car in ADDITION to your S2000? That would be the best ofboth worlds...

Good luck!

I was thinking if i got another car it would be something less expensive than the s2k so i could help myself get out of debt quicker. the total loss of the car would exceed my loan amount left and i could cut my monthly bills in half with something less expensive but than again it would only pale in comparison with the s2k. Cars i would consider Acura CL-S, Subaru WRX, Audi A4, BMW 330...not really sure what i would go for but i think i can never get rid of the s2k...this car is like christine to me (ala steven kings story).

as for gregs comment i do have a second car...it's old (92 acura vigor) but when you own the s2k why would you want to drive anything else around...i think i will always want to drive the stook so long as i have it...the only way to drive another car would be not to have the stook.

Anyone know when the EvoVII is supposed to come to the US? i wouldn't mind one of those =) but than again i would probably be in the same boat.

i don't think i could ever get rid of the s2000....it's my baby

Well, lets see...don't want to get tickets, accidents, or races. How about a Volvo diesel, if they make one. Nice and slow, good gas mileage, great in an accident. Problem solved.

Not.

You would probably just put a different engine in it, lower it, new exhaust, wheels, spoiler...I guess you should just get the stook fixed.

Glad you came through in one piece. Just be more careful.

i feel your pain man. My s2000 is STILL at the bodyshop undergoing repairs. Be thankful that you didn't get hurt seriously ... there's always something to learn out of a bad situation. Be patient and soon you'll be cruising again! Don't sweat it too much.

sorry to hear about the wreck!!

4 tickets and monthly track days are enough to keep me at the speed limit on the highways

what would you guys consider.
If I could do it over, I would get a 93 RX7 and a Jeep. There was a 93 RX7 in the Wash Post the other day for $4500.....with a blown engine.

I called right a way, already sold....my plan was to bring it to Peter Farrell and let him have it for ummm, a while.

Good luck, I would probably keep it.
