Keep up the good work on the articles, love them all! 
Thanks for the endorsement Harry. I appreciate it
I'm torn as well about mods. I'd say the only mods I have are a Ricks counter sunk shift knob, BYS Spoiler (that S2KNFR very kindly gave me) and the OEM hardtop I have always wanted. I purchased a coastal metals splitter and will likely put it on soon once I get the under side of the lip cleaned and waxed. Forced induction would be awesome, but I'm a bit too chicken to do anything that big. As it is the car is more than I can handle.

Have you ever traveled up the full length of Rudd Pond RD to where it returns out onto RT 22?
It's a nice alternative scenic drive if you happen to not be in a hurry.

I do the lower half of Rudd Pond Road quite often, and will probably be on that road tonight in about 2 hrs. What color S are you driving? I saw a NFR heading north on Rudd Pond Rd. two Sundays ago, evening about 7:30.
On the roll bar issue, Lime Rock will not allow the stock S2000 without a SCCA type roll bar or a factory hardtop. Mark and I did Watkins Glen a few weeks ago with SCDA with stock roll bars. Buy I was too tall in the saddle and Watkins Glen complained, so I was asked to run with the top up - At least that way they couldn't see how high I was.

66k on mine, and that includes 7-hard track years
Problems to date
- cooling fan and backup fan
- both rear wheel bearings
- both rear hubs
- gas cap
- catalytic converter
- door light switch in passenger's door
All replaced under extended warranty that I bought for only $830
Biggest problem the car has now is a loose power outlet

And I may have heard the scariest noise ever today, that of an 18-wheeler going into full lockup right behind me
And I'm sure there us some trucker cursing out a yellow S2000...
Thruway, stuck in a left lane slow moving train, I get a gap and pull infront of the truck in the right lane, still blocked in and going only 60-ish
All of a sudden the truck in front of me swerves into the left lane only to reveal a delaminated tire tread
I nail the brakes and jump into the left lane
The trucker locks it up and blasts right over the top of the crap, just behind me...
I avoided it all but one tiny piece that whacked the underside of the car, no problem
Man, it was all so close and happened so quick
