-a performance driving school is a must. no matter how a good a driver is, there will always be someone better and you would be wise to learn from them

-if your heart is set on the S, then go for it. I will say that starting off with a miata or 240 would be a much better idea. Also, be sure to find a balance between working towards the car and your education.
Put the car in your parents name and have you as a secondary driver on the car. HUGE savings, definitly worth doing to save you mucho dinero.

Don't rain on his parade guys. If he really reads up on this site he'll find out how expensive/unforgiving the car really is. If by chance he does come to afford it, who are we to say he couldn't handle it. Probably not the best idea for a first car, but I know I would have done it for sure had I been able to.

Hi. This is my first time posting, but I've read many posts on S2Ki. I am a 14 year old male and I would like to buy a S2Ki as a 16 year old. What should I do to make sure that I get a S2000?

Thank you.
STAY IN SCHOOL!!!

Stay in school. Study hard. Take challenging courses. Go to college. Earn a degree in a field that interests you but yields a comfortable salary. THEN treat yourself to a new S2000.

i would start with FF...... FR as a first car is too much to handle.... even when i got my S when i was 18....it was hard for me to get used to it ....(my first car was celice GT-s)

i think having a FF as a first car it helped me a lot to learn on the FR

just my.02$

Dude no matter how hard you work you will never be able to own an s2k in high school. Buy an EG or EK civic and actually learn what makes a car go vroom vroom hands on. Then make perfect grades, work your ass of in 2 mininum wage jobs at the same time, graduate in top 5% of your class, apply for a shit loat of free college money, then use whatever you do not need for school to buy an s2k. It worked for me!
