Mid-Life all the way. First rag top of my own. Can't seem to wipe this smile off face. My dad had his mid-life datsun 1600, wish it had been a 2000. Guess it's a family tradition.

When I got my S, my wife laid down the law: "No tickets and no girlfriends!" So far I've only gotten two tickets in 2-1/2 years.

As a geezer, I can verify that the S2000 is the cure for mid life crisis, although my wife would tell you that I seem to have a crisis about every three years. Mine is not a daily driver, never driven in the rain, but is great fun. I bought the car while my wife was out of town on a business trip so I held my breath for the criticism I thought would be forthcoming. On her first ride in the then new car her first comment was, "it makes me feel like I am 20 again!" and she did this

Well, what is the definition of mid-life crisis? If it is a stage in life where you want to escape from boring routines and let loose like you were 20 again, then I am there

Drove in the rain today, sound of rain hitting the soft top is music to the ears. I don't know if having the soft top in Vancouver or Seattle would be good. I would bet with extreme moisture exposure like that mold could be apparent. How does the soft top hold up to constant rain Pacific NW guys??

Well the day has finally arrived... expect (hope!) to pick up my car later today. The sun is shining in North Vancouver and there couldn't possibly be a more beautiful day to enjoy a S2K (Silver 2000 MY).

If you happen to be in these parts and see a greying middle-age dude smiling like a kid.. that'll be me!!

I use it as a daily driver. It can handle most of the cargo loads I take in it even with a 10-inch subwoofer and amplifier in the trunk. If you don't plan on hauling $200 of groceries or more than one person at a time, it's the funnest daily driver you could ever have. Good luck with the S!

25 and this was the cure to my quarterlife crisis.

On a side note, recent studies are showing that today's twentysomethings exhibit symtoms identical to the traditional mid-life crisis woes; partially due to the internet fall-out and subsequent decline in the economy. The caveat is that these twentysomethings will still experience the traditional mid-life crisis in their later age.

So... I wonder what the NSX is gonna be like twenty years from now...
