Default Back again for the fourth time!

I am picking up my 4th s2000 tomorrow, my03 ap1 with 35k silverstone/red interior. The vehicle was originally from RI and was one owner. The car looks and drives like its brand new. I can't believe how clean it is for a 11 year old car. I can't believe how much I paid for it either. I will have pics up soon...

My first was an ap1 berlina with red interior way back in 2000 (I'm OG) put 130k in 4 years. It got stolen and later found completely stripped.
Second was a spa yellow ap1 that I later sold because it was giving me a bunch of problems (must have been made the Monday after st pattys day).
Third was a white ap2 that I had for three years and was supercharged. I sold it for a GTR-two years ago. This one hurt the most because I had it completely the way I wanted. Coilovers/supercharged/Fuji exhaust/cr wing etc. I wish I could have kept it but with a kid on the way I didn't think it was practical to have two sports cars...

The last couple of years have been hard because every time I see a s2k, I am reminded of the visceral driving characteristics of the s2k. It's magnified with each nice day out.

So I'm looking forward to again immersing myself into this great community and modding my s2k...thanks for reading and words of advice: don't ever sell your s2k. Keep it, or you'll regret it.

FYI I've had multiple evos, a sti, ctsv, miatas, a gt500 and besides the GTR there isn't a more exciting car south of 100k.

Congrats!!!

I'm not sure if I could come back to the S when/if I sell mine. But then again, I've never gotten rid of mine. 10 years and counting.

Good amount of cars you've owned there. I'd actually be interested in hearing your personal opinion of each car, what mods you had, how it felt to drive, what you regret, what you liked, what you disliked, etc. and of course comparing each one to the s2000.

I second this call, particularly your experiences with the GTR.

I'd love to hear that too! OP: Please do post that in the Car Talk forum! It would be an excellent new topic and I'm sure everyone would enjoy it.

How was it stolen? How would you have prevented that today?

On my 4th S2K also. An '03 NFR, '04 Siverstone/black, '06 Silverstone/red, now own an '02 Spa Yellow. You are correct. Don't ever sell your S2000, you WILL regret it!

Georgie Porgie! How you doing man? Good to see you back.

How's the practice going? Are you still digging CT?

You are going to modify another one, huh? Too funny. I hope you can bring yourself to keep this one.
