Default My introductions.....

My name is Ken and I am a previous owner of a 2000 Acura TL. 2 months ago i was involved in a massive pile-up on I-95 which claimed several lives and involved over 20 people. My Acura slammed under a tractor trailor at 60 mph and i was ejected through the windshield. I have since recovered, and thus...i needed a new car.



I loved my TL, but it's time to move on. I ordered my 2002 Suzuka Blue S2000 last Thursday, and my dealership expects it to arrive sometime between August 31st and September 15th.

I *HOPE* this link works, if any of you wish to see pics of the Acura, before and after the accident, please feel free. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292124105

Thanks for taking the time to reading my "newb" post, but i just wanted to thank you all in advance for humoring me in my questions to come. I will be modding my S2000 very soon, and plan on asking some questions. Yes, I'll use the Search button before i open my mouth

Thanks guys...and good site!!

Welcome,

I don't mean to offend with my question, but I am very curious. Why were you ejected from your car? Did your seatbelt break or malfunction?

Good luck with your new S2000.

Regards,
James

welcome ken2000ac!

i remember watching your car changing on the acura sites.

it seems the gradual transition is from the TL to the s2000.

I had a TL, but now a suzuka blue 02 is sitting in my garage. hopefully your mods will be as nice as the ones that you did on the TL.
