Default bittersweet moment - goodbye S2000

After 7 years and 53,000 fun filled miles, I decided to sell my beloved S2000, aka Whitie. I put him back to stock form and he left for his new home last Friday. I hope whoever adopts him will take as good care of him as I have.

Since moving to SoCal, I haven't driven him much, only about 1,000 miles per year. I haven't been able to enjoy him as much as I did in Miami. And with the goal of getting my dream car in a year or so (no room in the garage for 4 cars) and starting a family soon, selling him became a logical decision.

I have many good memories with him, many of which I shared with some of you that have been around for a while during the meets and group drives.

God Speed Whitie!

Here are some photos of him through the years...

I know it hurts ... it took me 3 years to get rid of mine ... I cried when my S2k was leaving, on a tow truck ... up north, to a new owner .... it was painful!

Sorry to see the car go, hopefully we won't loose you. You are a link to the past of this community and there aren't too many of you left....
