Default Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone! My name is Gavin and I live in Hickory, NC. I just purchased my very first s2000 today and take delivery of it on Saturday August, 4. I'm very excited about my new ride. My boss from my previous job got the first blue one in NC back in 2000 I believe it was and I instantly fell in love with this car at that point. I have wanted one ever since but never had the cash, until now.

A little info about myself: I'm 23, still live at home with the parents, unfortunately. Work at a local Wal-Mart, again, unfortunately. However, I am in love with S2000's!!

Info about my new ride: It's a 2000 with only 44k miles on it. Even though it's 7 years old now, it still looks beautiful. I absolutely cannot wait to join the s2k club and come to some of the meets and meet everyone that shares an enjoyment and passion for these cars. I am planning on doing quite a few mods in the future.

So, hello everyone, nice to meet you.

Congrats on the purchase. I wish I still lived with my parents. I'd have more $$ for mods.

Welcome and congrats on your S2000...a couple of things.

1) Don't work yourself to death just to have your S2000..."life" is more important than sitting at a job (oh wait...nevermind, scratch that... )

2) Remember this car is RWD - Rear Wheel Drive and unless you have much experience with RWD, you will really want to slowly get into the feel of the car...don't be foolish and send your car into another car...

3) Make the time to hang out with the coolest people you'll ever meet...no, not just me...but bluegas68, Saki GT (Sakit), TheOtherHalf, my2ks2k (just don't wear pink around him), Ron, smccoy, DEIGER, JA-Humphrey, SC_Highlander, GameCockS2k, USC_Slacker, 44Runner, geez...I could go on and on...

4) Post pics and ask quetions...amazingly, we are like YOU. We love our cars too! We love to see pics and stuff!

Hey Gavin. Welcome to the forum. You are going to enjoy that car. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

My only other car to date was my 94 Del Sol which I poured countless hours and dollars into and even though I love her, I wanted the S2000. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew as it were so yes, I will take my time learning to drive and learning the nuances of this special little baby.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
