It would seem to me that if you a selling the S2000 because you will have a hard time affording it while going to college, then wouldn't it be best to replace it with a practical and reliable used car (rather than a decade old turbo)!?! You'd probably be better off getting a 5 year old Teg GS/R because it's likely to cost you a lot less up front and in maintence and should be a more practical car as well. I'm sure you're going to take quite a hit selling the S2000 -- that's why I myself don't buy cars just to drive a year or two.

Sell it, since it's a financial burden.

Sell it and get something cheap and reliable like a used accord or civic. If I could have had (or afforded) this car during college i wouldnt want it! don't trust the people on campus.

Actually I don't recommend using old Rotary engines. They may be reliable but they're a fortune to fix if something goes wrong. Plus, if you're going to school, just get an old EG or EK Civic HB, those are always fun to play around with.

Well if you're going to college, I would focus on your education and get a practical car, definitely not a Turbo Z... too much maintenance.

I agree with everyone else. Sell the S and get a more practical car and buy the S back whenever you graduate.
