Are tears OK when you say goodbye?

Looks more like a Deer stand then a Wing.

Mingster, I feel for you. I assume you turned the new owner on to this place?

Rich,

Man it pains me to hear this news. As Wanabe said, you've been in from the beginning. The S2K meet you organized was my first, the biggest to date, and one of the best I've attended. I know you'll still be around here, and I know you'll again own an S2K. You should talk to UL though; put a supercharger on your CRX and a bit o' suspension work and it'll be a screamer in it's own right!!

It's only metal and glass but tears are OK and memories last a life time.

Sorry Richard. I wish you good luck in the future and hope that you become an S owner again in the very near future.

I'm with you Rich, as bad as I hate it, my S will have to go soon. As a replacement I'll get an '03 Civic EX and a new house, but I'll always remember the time I spent with this car. I might sound a little foolish here, but this car just "fits" me, I can't explain it, but I feel as if I'm losing part of myself. She's still parked in the drive, but I'm weaning myself off of her and not driving her so much.

My new "cheap" toy...

Sorry to hear that Richard!

You and your S2000 was the first I met from this board! I know that you loved that car dearly!

And YES, it's okay to shed tears leaving a car! I've done it twice and I know I'll do it again.
Good luck with your future!

Keep in touch,
Steve

Sorry for your loss man. On the bright side though, my previous car was a CRX that I custom turbo'd with a Zdyne ECU. Very fun to drive and only cost me a hair over $2500 total for the whole setup. Worth looking into IMHO. BTW, you aren't the guy from the CRX board who turned me on to this board when I first bought my S, are you?

I sold my S for $$$...
No tears, its just the hardships of life.
Some people are just more emotional i guess
If you sell the S for a financial reason, remember if you ever make the $$ you would want, you can always buy a new one!*Glass Window*
