Defensive much? I guess you didn't read all of what I wrote.

You really aren't presenting a strong case for yourself here.

I think i saw my car, parked backwards in a lot behind the body shop, silver 04, damage to hood and front left area...i went under a suv at a low speed, no airbags and no frame damage, while in the body shop it was vandalized and top and trunk were ruined, whole car minus rear bumper repainted, new top and frame....new radiator,hood,fender, lights on one side, etc...a little worse for wear on the interior for being outside for so long and having parts thrown on the seats....but it is still my daily driver, looks good and drives right...after 3.5 years and 25,000miles i still love it so much i dont' want to get ride of it, rattles and all...

I am still struggling with the spin the car has waiting for me if i make a mistake on the on/off ramp or in a turn....watch out for cold and or balding rear tires, and wet and doing anything with the gas in mid turn....i love this car so, it challanges me and track days are awsome...

Good video to discourage new owners from getting crazy with their s2k.

Had to mute the music though

The GPW on its roof at about 3:05ish belonged to a friend of mine. He sold it and some younger kid did this asap...
Sad to see it again like that.

nice effort. The S2000 is not a widow-maker though. The tools that sometimes drive it, are
