Default For those comptemplating selling the S

Hey guys,

Just want to tell those who are thinking of selling the S. DO NOT DO IT! My back ground: 2 s2000's with over 100K miles logged on them. Currently I am in an Evo with 65K. Today, I managed to steal my bro's S2000. And let me tell you, top down, music pumping in 50 degree weather (well more like 40) is the best feeling in the world. I can believe how much I MISS the S. I felt like a million buck driving it. Guys buy a beater and use the S for the weekends and on nice days. Hopefully I will be able to get a 2000 or a 2001 next year.



Jealous Evo owner

Yo Hwang! I didn't even know you sold your S. Glad to hear your still around. I will never sell mine. Its all paid for and only use it on weekends. Hope to still have it in like 20years and driving it with a smile everytime I take it out.

how in the wide world of sports did you manage to rack up 65,000 miles on that car so soon, thats more than twice the national average of miles per year, your car is going to have a horrible resale value

Blahahaha!

You know alot of Evo owners would take offense at that The car is holding up great! The car is as tight as day one. The chassis is incredibly stiff, comparitive to the s2k. No rattles or squeeks what so ever.

My 1st s2000 has 60K miles when i sold her (to my bro) and that was after 1 and 1/4 years of ownership. I logged about 60K on my 2nd s2k also when i sold her. I buy my cars knowing that I spend considerable time in them. So I treat my self to the lastest and greatest (well, to what i can afford).
