S2000 is expensive to keep.
Was thinking about the cost of ownership of the S2000, its starting to show its ugly head now that my car is putting on some serious mileage (130000). CAT, new struts, tires, oil changes, bearing, some sound that i cant find thats coming from under my car near the transmission, brakes, gas, Keeping it shiny, theres too much to list and i know i am forgetting somethingS.
so i was thinking of selling my S and getting a civic as a beater, and bike for fun. but when started thinking about it and driving the S on a beautiful day like today it makes it really hard to sell. i mean i love the car but cost of ownership and a bad economy isn't helping any. At least a civic would be cheap to keep, and a bike (hopefully) will feed my need for speed and fun.
what do you guys think?
input and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
