Default Got rid of my Corvette and got another S2000

I just bought my 2nd S2000 1 week ago. I sold my first (an '00) last January and bought a '99 C5 Corvette. For the first time in my life when the new owner of my S2000 drove away...I actually missed the car. It was really weird. Day after day all I could think about was my S2000 and driving it. How much I enjoyed it, how much I actually...loved it!

In the end I just came to the realization that ultimately I liked the Corvette...But loved the S2000.

I can't really explain it. The Corvette was faster, had waaaay more torque, seemed to actually handle better and I really thought it was a beautiful car. But something about the S2000 just speaks to me. There's a feeling I can't replicate with any other car than the one I get from my S2000.

So last week I drove down to St. Louis and delivered my Corvette to it's new owner, hopped on a flight to Chicago O'Hare, took a taxi to the dealership and drove my S2000 home.

It's a Silver with black interior 2003 with 24,000 miles. I couldn't be happier. I didn't, and don't, miss the Corvette at all. I will probably have this car until it's completely spent.

Just thought I'd share.

I know how you feel. Sometime i miss my 08 350Z too when i see other people drive by with the Z. But i can totally forget about the Z as soon as i hop in the S2K. It's strange but i love the S2k too.HEHE

wow, a Corvette...

I believe when it comes down to the S2000, that feeling you missed is the reason everyone comes back to it.

similar to the fat chick in college you had affair with, you know you miss it for some reason!!! j/k lol

I can relate. I cheated on my S2K's with an '03 Z06. Came back for more S2K love.

There's only a few cars I would ditch my s2k for, and I can't afford any of them right now and possibly never so I'm good kinda ha... =/
