Default Getting bored out of my S2000

When I first test drove the S2000, I could not wait to take it home, but after a month of ownership the excitement is starting to fade. There's really nowhere to DRIVE it. All I can pretty much do is pull it out of an intersection redline it in 1st, 2nd, then have to let go and slow down. It's KILLING me because I wanna KEEP GOING, but I do not need any trouble from the police. I took it through some twisty turns and the feeling is absolutely amazing, but again there aren't that many turns.

Anyway, I might put it out for sale in the spring time you guys think I could get $25,000 out of it??
It's got 39,xxx miles, and no problems at all.

I already see your problem. handling is where this car is at...this isn't a straight line drag machine.

look into any local auto-x events, tracks or back roads with lots of curves. the fun doesn't necessarily come into effect at triple digits. there could be more rush driving at 40mph through the right turns...

oh I didn't buy this car for going fast in a straight line. There is a race track that I was going to go with my buddy but I guess they closed down for the season. Back roads, I love them, but damn, cops around here pretty much have nothing to do, so they just sit around with the radar gun. I live in a town that has less than 5,000 people lol. However there still is one place I have to look into sometime.

Well, not that close to Chicago lol. I live a town called Lakemoor, I don't know if you have heard of it. It's near Fox Lake and McHenry.

Doubt you will get 25,000 with an S with 40k miles. I got my 07 with 4k miles for 27,000. What year is yours?
