Default In heaven...or almost

Well, I did it...bought my first S2000 this weekend (actually my first ever sports car), and I am in love. It's a 2001, Formula Red, 11,800mi, and in excellent condition. I'm taking it in for certification this Thursday at the dealer. I was also able to get a 7-yr HondaCare warranty for only $710. My neighbor is the finance manager! ;-D

I thought I was going to be able to drive it all year, but I forgot that our cul-de-sac rarely gets plowed in the winter...guess I'll be looking for a beater-with-a-heater! To you guys with snow tires, do you drive the high performance Blizzaks or the Q/R rated ones?

Buy snow tires. You got a great deal on the war.

Do yourself a favor now, and sign up for a class on how to drive your new car. Here's a good one in Spokane: http://www.iebmw.org/driving_schools.html

Several of us PacNW S2000 owners will be out there at the racetrack this weekend.

A great deal on the "war?"

If you read about warranty claims on this forum you'd learn that some Honda dealerships put the "war" in warranty
