Perhaps not the most popular POV but I'm starting to think the first mod when you get an S2000 should be... birth control.

There are an awful lot of these topics. YMMV

Fast forward to 30 days ago...I bought an 05 NFR. Decided the NSX was too expensive not only to purchase but to maintain. I didn't want to deal with the headaches of finding parts and paying a premium for them (cuts into the beer budget!).

This time I'm not planning to do many mods to the car and have more fun driving the crap out of it!
I like everything about this post (except that you S was stolen ). Especially the beer budget
Plus if I was driving around 'my' NSX I would be even more paranoid than I am with my S... and that just wouldn't be healthy lol

I'm in the same boat. Went and test drove Tundras and Tacomas. Can't bring myself to do it. My new kid will just ride with my wife

I was in the same situation. My son was just born, the S2000 was my only car. I was sharing a car with the wife and the S2000 was just collecting dust. It was hard but it was the right decision at that time, new kid, new house. Priorities first. I sold the S to get a Honda Fit. It's been 7 years, things are stabilizing and I was able to purchase another S2K, not saying you'll still want another S again and kept the Fit. I'm sure there will be plenty of offerings when you're ready again.

Hahahaha! That's awesome!

They'll have to pry my S's steering wheel from my cold dead hands.

I thought I'd never sell mind. But life changed. When I sold it I felt great. Bunch of hard cash in my hand, well care for car in someone's who will enjoy it. I can buy another one at ANY time.

I'm hoping I don't ever have to sell my S2k, but I don't think I'll regret it as much as some of you. Ever since my brother brought home a Porsche Boxster S, I haven't driven my S2k in a long time. The Porsche seems to be great in all aspects, plus it's a lot roomier. I thought the Honda sounded great, but a flat-6 behind your ears sounds even better! Will I miss my S2k if I sell it? Probably. Will I regret it? Probably not.

I'm on my third S2K. I think I'll learn my lesson and keep this one. My first one, I highly regret selling as it was completely mint. My second one wasn't the greatest example of an S2K, so I don't miss it too much, but I knew the day I sold it that it would not be my last S.
