Default How to pass the time?

I've got a 4to5 week wait to get my S with a slight chance it may come earlier. I was wondering what you other members who had to wait for your cars did to keep from going nuts in the 'waiting period?' I been coping alright up till today, I mean it's a sunny Sun. perfect top down weather! I do consider myself lucky to be getting the car but I wanna drive it now!!!!!!

Go test drive a car at a dealership.

Play with a model or an R/C version of the car.

Read a book, like the Helm's Manual.

Watch a movie, like "Heartbreakers" with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Replace your comforter with an OEM car cover.

Yeah, the waiting can be brutal. As an offset, you can visit different dealers in your area, then test drive as many as you can!

Or you can buy "The Fast and the Furious" DVD.

I asked for an owner's manual from the dealer, I figured it would make sense to read it now before I got the car but they didn't have any. I've been checking other sections here wash&wax U.T.H. etc. to learn as much as I can. It's getting green and warm here in Vt and I'm getting the fever bad.

Keep reading s2ki.com and searching pics of the s2k. It helps fulfill the the appetite for the s2k a little.

Like the old Tom Petty song goes, "The waiting is the hardest part."

Do yourself a favor and invest in Daniel F. Carney's book "Honda S2000." It's full of great information about the car and the company and is jam-packed with illustrations. You'll love this car even more when you see the technical drawings!
It came out in 2001 and last time I looked, it was available on amazon.com.
Hang in there!
