I know the feeling.

Not to knock on your dream car, but my cousin just bought a Carrera 4S and I still didn't find it as exciting as the S. Maybe because I hate the interior of Porsches.

I used to play the "I'd rather have THAT car...." game whenever I was driving around in my civic throughout college.

I don't play that game anymore.

Unless I see an R8 or the day I see an LFA

I'm driving my s2k until I die. Or it dies. Whichever is first.

I bought my used 02 S2k in 2009. I've purposely sunk a ton of money into it to make every detail possible perfect and to my liking, and somewhat refreshed in terms of mechanicals and appearance. I'd never get a fraction of the money out of it if I sold it, but I don't mind one bit as I'm keeping her forever. I plan on my son driving it to his prom in 8 year's time.

Amen, brother. Although, if it dies first, that might kill me.

If you die first you can get buried in your S

When my wife rides in the S with me, she swears that we (the S and I) are going to meet our demise together.


(I beg to differ.)

2009 Berlina Black? lol! What's the story behind that?
I'm assuming you're talking to me?

I have a 2009 Berlina Black CR. I bought it in 2009 because I wanted a new, unmolested S2000 to drive and keep for a while.

That's the story... I must be missing the part of the story that makes it "LOL" worthy.

Bought an 03 AP1, was sick of the noisyness and the inconvenience of the car. Instead i bought my friends stripped/track EG6 with a full swap already done. Enjoyed it, was WAAAY too loud. Went back into an S again afterwards. That one got stolen. In my 3rd one now...don't think im letting go of this one
