Going through withdrawal - What do you do during the winter months?
To All S2K owners who put their baby in storage for the winter...
Hello, this is the first year I have owned an S2K and have put precious in storage for the remainder of the cold months. What do you guys do to help get through these terrible months without being able to drive your baby? It's only been about 3 or 4 weeks and I can barely stand it anymore. It's especially bad when I get into my winter car every morning and I see that beast just sitting in the garage. Any tips, ideas, anything on what one can do to help get through this horrible time???? I'm open to anything as I know it's only going to get much harder. I'm in Chicago and we won't see decent weather again for a solid 5 months!!!
Thanks in advance,
A saddened S2K driver.

(I had the top down the other night late when I was coming back from the University).
Oh, you wanted advice from those that live up in the rust belt... Sorry, no advice here

Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, Gran Turismo 3, Anything from the Need for Speed series, watch a lot of Initial D, Take your beater drifting through the snow and surf the net a lot. At least you got to drive yours before winter hit, mine is coming in December so I have 4 months to look at it before I can even take it out of the garage

Move to a warmer place.
Sorry PJ...just drove with the top down this past Tuesday here in ATL.
Advice: I ultimately just drive the S anyway if I get a hankerin' to do so...weather be damned.

Taking a s2000 out in the winter is actually quite fun. It feels like it has an extra 50 hp with only 1/2 the grip. Can you say "FUN". It's not like it doesn't work because it's cold out or anything. Owning a sportbike is actually a lot worse becuase you DEFINATELY cannot take that out in the winter.

The first year I had my S2000 I would not even drive it in the rain. I kept it covered in my garage all winter. I would never drive it to the grocery store, mall. etc., for fear of damage.
It was not much fun.
Now, after four years, I drive it everywhere, year round, in all kinds of weather, as long as there is no snow, ice or salt on the roads. It has suffered no ill effects and I enjoy it much more.
My S2000 has brightened many a dreary winter day. Sometimes I dress warmly and put the top down, even with temperatures in the 20's and 30's.
