Well folks, it doesn't pay to get old(er). All that clutching has raised some kind of hell with my left knee. The pain has gotten so bad that I had to take Darvacette to sleep. This has been going on for some time now. So with a heavy heart I sold the Stook. But, still being the muscle car fanatic that I always was...I bought a Corvette roadster. Navy blue metalic with every option Corvette has...and yes, an automatic as well. The car is a 2001 model with only 10,000+ miles and looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. Anyway, I'll stop buy once in a while to add my .02. Ken

 

you mean 'darvocet'. That stuff is bad for your liver

 

A friend of mine was also very keen on the S2000 or something of its ilk, but couldn't clutch because of a trick knee. Very sad. Ended up with an Accord, nice after its fashion but not exciting.

 

Knee replacements are extremely well advanced these days, I would have got the operation before I sold my S......
Do you guys have auto S2k's in the USA/Canada???

 

If you get bored with the C5, I'd recommend the E46 M3 SMG.

 

s2000 seems to have many physical problems for people with injurys etc... wasnt ther a post about some guy selling his S bkuz of his bad back... and the seat was making it worst.. .. hope you recover well and buy a S later down the road

 

There is more to life than an S. Sorry about your knee. Corvettes are great cars

You might want to look into surgery if you have to take painkillers to get to sleep. Good luck to you

Hey, it's only a car. Best of luck with the knee and enjoy the hell out of the Vette!

 

Just like the rest of the world it comes only as a manual.
