Any regrets with buying your S2K?
Go to a driving school.
Get seat locks.
I would support your feelings that you should have gotten something more simple first. Civics make great first cars because they are easy to mod and easy to work on and easy to drive. All good factors in a first car. The S is hard to drive, fairly tough and pricey to mod, and by no means that safe of a car if you do not treat it with respect.
Best of luck to you and congrats on the new car.

Just realize that you are one very lucky kid! My first car was a '90 Chrysler Lebaron sedan. Everything that could go wrong with a car happened to that one. Burned oil like crazy, a/c blew engine smoke into passenger compartment but didn't cool, only one of the electric windows worked. susupension was completely shot, headliner was hanging down about 6 inches, cats often times slept in the car because one of the windows would not go up so it smelled disgusting, paint was faded, transmission was shot and only had like 2 gears left, brakes grinded, blew large amounts of white smoke from tailpipe, no radio, windshield sprayers didn't work, it would randomly shut off usually when you were slowing down and there's more. My parents gave me that car when I turned 16 in June, and by November I just stopped driving and just caught the bus or got rides with friends. For a 16-year old kid, giving up driving is unheardof! That car was such a heap though! Anyway, eventually I saved up my own money and got a '99 Civic Si all on my own when I was 18. I loved that car. I had that for 2 years before it was stolen/destroyed. Now I'm 21 and I've moved up to an s2000! There really is something to be said about not having the best car at a younger age. I think it makes you appreciate things a little more. Soemtimes I think about how far I've come on my own. I'm not putting you down by any means, all I'm saying is APPRECIATE IT!
And to answer your question, no, I have absolutely no regrets!

it's all relative
anyway, if you have insurance, don't worry so much about things out of your control.
you can always get seatlocks and an aftermarket alarm with motion sensor for peace of mind.
