Default Yes, another S2000 totalled!

I always joked with my friends how it seemed like one S2000 gets totalled a week here on S2KI....just never thought I'd become a statistic too.

Anyways, it happened approximately a month ago before Thanksgiving. Traffic came to a stop on the freeway and a guy in an SUV wasn't paying attention and rear ended my car at an angle. He hit my car so hard that it swerved to the left and the right side of my car rubbed against the rear corner of the car in front of me. The SUV hit so hard that instantly after the first impact, I just knew my car was gone and I was PISSED. Anyways, the most important part was everyone was ok, even though I had a minor sore back for a little while.

AFTER





I really miss my Berlina still....but I picked up this AP2 recently.

Thanks!

I like it, but I was kind of expecting it to blow me away for some reason, but its 95% the same to me as far as driving wise goes. Just minor small differences in engine/suspension feel. Probably wouldn't have upgraded but got a good deal on it.

If no one told me it had DBW, I probably wouldn't really notice it too much. Sometimes the throttle kind of "hangs" for a split second while shifting gears vs throttle cable but its extremely minor. Haven't tried seeing what the clutch delay valve does though...
