So sorry to hear about your crash! I hope you start having less pain and glad you have Mazel with you. Here's hoping you are able to get the car that makes you happy.

So guys I get a phone call at about 1:30 pm today just as I was finishing my lunch from my father who told me he is on my way to come pick me up to take me to the showroom where I work. He told me that all the guys at the showroom wanted to see me, check how I was doing, and hang out for a little bit. Being pissed off already given my situation I kind of just wanted to stay home and rest and just not really see anyone or do anything and just hang out with my dog and watch a movie. He told me he was already on his way and that I better be waiting by the front door for him to help me out to the car when he gets there because he told all the guys already that I would be there this afternoon.

So I get up and slowly crutch my way over to my pops car and off we go to the showroom. The whole time I was tired, pissed off, and in pain.

So we get to the showroom and everything is as normal and I put on a smile as we go in and say hi to everyone and I crutch myself around a little bit to see the new inventory and what I have missed over the past couple weeks. I hobble my crippled ass into the back showroom and first notice a car under a cover. It also caught my eye that it looked like a small roadster. I asked my boss what he had under there all covered up completely not expecting what I was about to see.

Both my father and one of my colleagues uncover the car and everyone yells "surprise!"







It is a MY08 GPW/red,black with ~13k miles. PERFECT stock condition. Nicest one I have personally seen.

I was so shocked and ecstatic and grateful that the guys went out of their way and took their time to get me my unicorn. This was the color combo I originally was looking for when I first started looking for an s2000 years ago. I literally started tearing up and tried as hard as I could to hold back crying in front of the guys in the showroom given my situation and all of the other crappy things that have happened to me lately (gf of 5 years dumping me, family dog passing away, family troubles,) on top of this accident and all of the surgery and medication etc.

It really makes me happy and grateful to know how much the guys at work care and that they genuinely feel bad for how hard its been for the past 6 months of my life. This act of kindness really gives me hope and has put a smile on my face.
