it's a honda, 'nough said.

 

I agree. I worked for my first car...94 integra...but i really wanted an S, but the funds i made would not allow it. It actually helped me out in the long run. I own an S now since 07, and i've come to value my vehicle. I'm much older now 24. Sorry kid, ur just not ready yet. Someday you will. Well by that time there will probably be something more interesting.

 

I have an AP1 with 164K on the clutch. Still going strong.

 

Well I'm turning 19 soon so I guess it been 3 years, but I hear what you guys are sayin about earnin it an trust me, the only reason my dad is considering buyin it is because I have done a lot for my family. And by pretty good I mean no crashes no tickets no speed violations, I've done my research on the car and I know I can handle after a couple days of driving. And my dad is a 50 year old mexican man, I know he knows what he is talkin about but I just wanted to know the longevity so I know that it will be workin when I start payin it off. There is no use if in a year its broken down but I'm still payin for it. And sorry for the late reply I was playin some bball

 

Sounds like you should be purchasing something new or at least Certified Used, with a warranty.

 

Them's bold words, my friend.

Have you seen this thread?

you might be able to drive the car after a couple of days but to handle it?

like Ckit said..... them's bold words there

 

I suggest you man up and be grateful that your father is willing to buy you a car.

 

The 2005s are known to have exploding engines and air bags that randomly deploy.. just warning you.

 

I definitely suggest an 2006+ model year with VSA. I would have already crashed it twice were it not for the VSA. I am an experienced driver and rider, but no professional by any means.

S2000 is feels and drives very different than a regular car. It inspires confidence. However, it's a lot easier to get into trouble with this car than one might think. I'd say even worse than a sport bike. The probability of an accident that is, not the consequences.

Don't give credit to those bozos who think they can control the world with their right foot. (with the exception of professional drivers and serious enthusiasts with ample track time.)
