Might be time for a new battery in the spring. Had a lot of trouble cranking the S this morning in the cold.

Then again, considering I've gone through only two batteries in 18 years with the car, I'd say that's pretty darn good.

My current battery is so old - its a Die Hard...that I bought from Sears automotive.

Same here. My battery was from 2011. It needs a trickle charger. Pawning it all off today!

Pawning it all off? Are you selling the S?

Watch to the end. But this is how I felt driving home.

No, if only it could be so simple.

Signed it over to my daughter as part of a broader deal.

He still has an S2000. He has mine now for a while. I’m not driving it much at all and have barely put a couple hundred miles on it. It’s his car to drive until I get it back. and I supposedly have visitation rights so will get to add a few miles each season and maybe even codrive it at the track.

simply put, he owns my S2000 now. I sold the car to him. Painful decision but I’m not driving it.

I've always told you young guys "whatever you do, don't get rid of the S. In the end you'll regret it." (I feel that way about "The Shirt").

But sometimes life gets in the way. Aashish has been making noises about me buying his car; and my daughter has been making noises of wanting my car. We sort of struck a 3 way deal. When Aashish comes to his senses, my hope is that he will take back the heap. I'm more of a 1950s guy - and anyway, I don't have the garage space!
