i just joined this great site on saturday and i am interested in buying an S2000. The stook has been my favorite car since it came out and i even remeber the MotorTrend Article where they called it the the SSX and i even have a photo of me a long time ago infront of the concept car. This was definetly the car for me even in 8th grade. Had you asked me 2 weeks ago what car i wanted (i will be getting a new car when my parents finish the new house) i would have said the WRX. This ofcourse was before i had even though about the S2000 assuming that it was out of my range (25-28k) even used. Then i found one for udner 28k and i went nuts. I found the car at autotrader.com at 5 30 and made the treck to the dealership (normally a 1 1/2hr trip) reaching it at 6 30. i drove the car and that 9000rpm engine made me fall in love again with the car. For those interested i currently live in Bayonne, NJ (which for those with maths is rite next to Jersey CIty, which in turn is across the river from Manhattan). My family will be moving to our new home in Staten Island in about Jan or Feb and i will get a new car (my car has 55k miles on it) around april. thank you and i look forward to a long memebership and to my S2000!!!!!

 

Welcome to the board, ML320.

 

Welcome to the board ML320.

A word of warning though..... you have already started using that word !!!! there are certain members here who don't like the st**k word

 

whats wrong with using st... im mean that word? u got to inform new guys like me. and while we at it whats rice?

 

The st**k is a long standing joke on the board. Many people use it all the time, many people dislike the word. You have to decide which side of the fence to sit on this one

Without getting into the whole debate (has happened many times) of the derivation of the term "rice", it is used by many people to describe cars that have been modified with spoilers, wide wheels, chrome, big exhaust pipes, stickers & logos, but that is bascially still stock under the hood. Very often used for basic Civics and the like that have "Type R" logos on them.

 

thats man for the helpful explaination, nice that to see that you didnt jump on the newbie, true class

 

Hey ML welcome I like your sig quote, made me laugh Good luck to you! The S2K has been my fave car since it came out too (and still is) after almost a year of ownership.

 

Welcome, enjoy your STOOK

 

hey how do i paste a photo, i got a shot of my standing next to the SSM show car at the new York Auto Show

 

You need to have it hosted somewhere. If you are an owner there is a photo album on this site where you can upload photo's to and then insert them into your posts.

A lot of the non-owners use on-line photo storage sites (like photoshop which seems to have just closed down ) and then link to that site.

As an example, here is a photo out of my photo album on this site......
