Default I decided to sell my S :(

I posted for a while now about having an injured back at age 23 because of my bad reaction to a low riding seat, and a hard ride from my S... I tried everything from cushions, to back props, but nothing worked... only til I got into a soft riding car did I feel better. Then got back into the S, and felt that pain again, I guess there's no other way... well, here's a picture of her (with Carmax in the background, where I sold her)

its like I broke up with a gorgeous girl, who only hurt me in the end

Too much of a hassle, I figured Id just take that money and use it on a new car, I tried cushions, but my head would come out the top! :/

I think the biggest hassle of the S2000 is just getting in and out of the car. Other than, its very comfortable for me. I'm sorry to hear that your back problems prevented you from keeping the S2k.

Sorry to hear that. I had back issues and just had a microdiskectomy and know the back pain thing all too well.

My back problems started after I sold my S2000, but that would have been just awful...I would have never been able to get into it, let alone stand the hard ride.

I'm sorry you had to sell your car. I'm even sorrier that you have back problems. When I was about 14, I was in a bad bus accident and have had back problems and pain ever since. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on anyone.

Good luck.

That's sad, really sad. I know where you're coming from though I messed up my back on a snowmobile last winter so I know what it's like to deal with back pain. Fortunately I mostly got over it. If I hadn't got my 04 I would have jumped all over a white/red 02.

Best of luck with your new car endeavors.
