The problem these days is even if you don't like the house you bought...you really can't sell because you'll owe the bank when you do!
That's exactly the situation, selling the house is not an option. And I mean I at least drove the car for a year already, and am one of the fortunate ones to even have the chance to experience this car. I'll definitely treasure this pass year and will always remember the feeling of what the S2000 gave me.

Do you have a second car? Why not keep the S2000 at a relative/friend's place in a safer neighborhood and drive a more practical beater car for the daily grind? At least you don't have to get rid of the car completely...use it on the weekends!

Unfortunately I don't...all their parking spots are taken. Oh well...guess it's time to say good bye, I'll bring it to a garage and see how it goes first.

It's seriously weak if your so scared that your ditching the car over one incident, I could understand if this was a recurring problem, but over 1 incident, REALLY?!...

Are there any storage areas in the area for you to park in? I believe that has been mentioned before where people rent a storage unit to park in.

This is one of the reasons why before I got married, I refused to live anywhere that no garage was available for my S2000. My Civic? Who cares. Daily driven and not a big deal.

ALWAYS wanted to make sure my S2000 was protected overnight from the true assholes of the world.

say hello to my little friend...or if you have a shotgun in your case..."say hello to Mr. Pib" (thats your shotguns funny nickname now) because it doesnt mean small but Mr. Pib can be a lage fellow with a humorous name...(i took it too far didnt I?)

EDIT: and PS: I would put a very sensetive alarm on it and always wear your running shoes on in the house in case you need to chase him.

Don't live in fear. If you love your car you should keep it. Don't let the vandal have the last laugh. I'm not sure that I would end someone's life for vandalizing my car... and to be honest I would prob prefer a more precise weapon than a shotgun to limit the damage to the s2k (although the shotty would certainly get the job done the best)! I would stick with a very sensitive alarm and leave the firearms for true emergencies.
