One Too Many Hits and Black Ice
She was a Great Car and was only upsidedown once, a Factory Freak with a Target Painted on Her.
She never liked black ice and a 20mph hit with a Curb and a Little 4 inch tree took her out.
She will be Missed but not Forgotten.

Wow. Sorry to read that, I hope you're not hurt from the accident. Willed see you in another s2000 soon? I sure hope the Dragon '06 hood is saved for posterity.
Are you sure there is no hope for saving it once more?

Oh no! Sorry to hear man. 
I assume there were no human injuries? She was a trooper, that's for sure!

Sorry to hear but glad that you're OK. Luckily, Honda was nice enough to send 100,000 of these fine machines to the US over 10 years, so there's a chance you can find another one to love and bring into a happy home.G/L

I'm Fine, No injuries except for the Car (Target).
She (Target) was a Trooper for sure, Target Loved Premo Fuel, Soft Sticky OEM Bridgestone SO2 Rubber and Lots of Tight Turns. Target also Loved those Tripple Digit Trips around the Country and She made sure to Protect her Passengers along the way. Target didn't like going under 25mph, everytime she was hit was at 25mph or less
, Guess that was a Good Thing.
My Winter Tires were fine, the only thing that really could have helped on Black Ice are Tire Studs. Don't think I'm going to save her this time, this is the 3rd time she has taken a hit on the front passenger side and the frame has been damaged.
I'll Buy another low mile AP1 when I find the Right One. Haven't decided what new car to get for the Winter or what to do with Target yet.

As someone who also totaled their AP1, I'm definitely sorry for your loss, but I am glad to hear you are OK. I, too, hope to get my hands behind the wheel of an S again at some point, but I don't know yet when.

Also coming from someone who's gotten his S into a fight with concrete, I'm glad to hear that you're ok as well. Sounds like the car has served you well over the years and also protected you well in it's final moments.
I hope you find another car that's right for you soon!
