here is my baby ... after 90k miles and 2 Dragon runs ... and some lady turns right into me (i was doing 35 and she was doing 5-10mph). She hit more of the rear and it caused me to slide into a telephone pole right next to the intersection.

The cabin of the car was essentially untouched! This cockpit area of the S2000, imho, is probably one of the safest. I literally had a small 'bump' on my head (strange how it hasn't gone away yet ).

I have another one now ... so i guess i can post pics of this now.





the car was a 'total loss'. So i purchased it and now it lives on in many other S2000's here

I think every S2000 owner should go through this thread to know what can happen to them..... It's a good way to keep younger owners from doing dumb things.

I agree, but I'd have said "new owners" rather than "younger owners," because we've seem plenty of older guys do dumb things too.
LOL, take me, for example.

I should have said "new owners" I'm young myself but I always tell people this car will kill you in a heartbeat with a simple mistake.
