Default Just picked up my new S2000!!

Well guys and gals, i am now an owner. I picked up my Sebring MY02 with red interior today. I'm so happy The only problem i've had is it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to get the damn thing into reverse to get out of a Chili's parking lot, but now i got it. I wanna VTEC it so badly, it's so hard to keep the revs down. I also just bought a set of 18" Oz Superlegerra wheels that should be here in a little over a week. DID I MENTION I"M EXCITED!!!!!!!

-Steve

P.S. got it at 3.9% financing for 60 months

sweet...congrats...

the one thing my dealer never told me that i wish he had is this:

You cannot VTEC the car if the temp gauge is below three bars. If you attempt to, it will govern and scare the crap out of you.

Other than that....

You will love it.

Matt

I wouldn't have even considered anything else. In my mind silver on red is the classiest and most classic color for a roadster. I also LOVE the all red interior, although i know some dislike it. So far my only planned mods are to clear the headlights and side markers, put these new wheels on, and build a killer sound system. I may go with a countersunk shift knob too. i'll post pics as soon as i get the wheels.

Congrats,

Great Choice!!!! I have a Sebring/Red as well. I picked up mine last Friday. I couldn't figure out how to reverse the first time I test drove a used 2001 about a month ago. None of my previous Honda has this reverse feature.

Have fun

It took me several hours to figure out where the brake pedal was.

But seriously.....enjoy the car and break it in RIGHT. You'll be glad you did when you dyno it.
