Why you don't let your tires wear down.
^^This really makes my stomach churn.

Guy's I know some people are looking at the thread because they think "it's amusing" but this is serious stuff. I would like to see photos like these of any car that I owned because it gives me an idea of how the car holds up in various crash situations. The S2 is very well built and a safe car for what it is but is still dangerous when stood up against some of the other road warriors out there. (let's not even mention a lowered S) Please you guys ensure that all the "proper" maintenance is performed on your car everytime you drive it. If you are going to drive like a bat outta hell, do it when there's no other innocent people around.

Rick (ryne) thanks for starting this thread

that was a great price, maybe your crash wasn't the first time it'd been i an accident.

sorry to hear you crashing during a test drive, thats a whole lot of damage for a second gear spin out, that thing is pretty much written off...

glad to see you still purchased a s2000 even after you horrible first incident.

how'd you manage to break the rear loose in 1st at 3-4k???
