Default Finally back in a 2 seater

So I posted this in the gallery but I thought to share it in my local community. You guys have been great all these years and I wanted to share my excitement as well. After looking for almost a year and a half since my S2 got totaled (you can read about it HERE), I finally found what I have been waiting for this whole time. Not the greatest quality pics, but I just wanted to share with you guys. Thanks for looking.









And one with the wifey's truck...

Sounds good. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the next meet but probably not till next summer. She will be going in storage pretty soon.

Love the color, congrats on the new ride.

I LOL'ed at the pic with the Hummer. Enjoy the days when you switch between driving those two VERY different vehicles.

Thanks Rue! Definitely two different driving experiences! LOL. The hummer is more the wifey's than mine. I have an RX330 as my daily/winter vehicle. Gotta have that AWD to make things just a bit easier in our harsh snowy winters.

Very nice pick!

Remember, all past, current, and future S2000 owners are welcome at meets, so don't be afraid to bring any of the vehicles out to events.

Sorry for the very late reply, been super busy at the office. Not as active as I use to be. Anyways, got it with 30k miles and stock engine. It has a Toyota 1.8 4 cylinder, pretty much the celica engine just Lotus has a much more tuned version of it. Lol. Actually more of the reason why I got it for the reliability and easy to work with. Given the power to weight ratio, it definitely does not respond or handle like a celica though

Congrats on a great ride!

I cross-shopped my CR against an Exige before pulling the trigger. In the end, as an only car, I had to go with the Honda, as it feels like a Lexus compared to the Lotus. I miss that manual steering though... Love the Lotus!!

HAHAHA on the comfort comparison. I know what you mean. Trade a little bit of comfort for that extra performance with the Lotus. I would have definitely chosen the CR as well if it was my only car, but I've been fortunate enough that I have a nice daily to use. I have probably driven the Lotus maybe a total of 7-8 times since I got it pretty late in the season. Had to store it away pretty quickly. I'm getting so anxious to drive it but probably need to wait a few more months. Just thinking about the wait is killing me. LOL
