Well its been several years since I bought a 2004 NFR. I only owned the car for about six months before I sold it and bought an AMG C55. That only lasted a year and then I bought an 05' M3 with competition package. Sold that last spring and was going to buy a 911 but never pulled the trigger. I guess I came to my senses that I was spending more and more money and the cars while pretty great weren't really worth all the money.

Truth be told, I never felt as connected with any other car as I did with the S2000. Anyone else go through a similar experience and come back to the Honda?

Thought I might buy one and possibly add and S/C....

 

Well, I'm sure that you already know what you want to do with your money...go for it!

There's this guy...

Axel6 going back to s2k from 996

 

Spend it Spend it Spend it!!!

Then pause, reflect, and spend some more.

Do it now, for tomorrow brings the unknown.

 

Thanks, great link. Exactly what I'm thinking. One of my friends has an 06 997S and other than buzzing up to work and back, he doesn't do track days or autoX or group drives. Not that that is bad but really made me think about why he would cough up 1400 a month on his lease for the next 4 years for the priviledge.

I know I would be a more involved than he, but part of the prob is hammering away on a 92K car. Some people, me included, might not get the max out of the car for fear of damaging it or diminishing its value. Stupid but true. If I bought a new S2K I could care less if it got damaged.

BTW, I have my wife in a 745Li right now and will be replacing it with a Lexus LS460 this fall, so not like the S2K would be my only means of transport. My primary driver is an 05' Titan.

 

05 Titan for the daily grind? Yikes...well, with the cars you've got so far, I'm sure that gas prices aren't a problem for you. The pay I'm getting from Uncle Sam puts my s2k just in my budget on top of my $1k monthly rent. I'm scrubbing by with my s2k as a daily driver, but as soon as I finish my CRX (91 si), I'll have something else to DD...with better gas mileage.

 

If you read that link, I am sure you saw my story of trading in my first S for a Titan and now I am back to the S again. good luck!!! When a car fits you, you just know it.

 

wow, 05 m3 to an s2k. i've been dreaming of an 05 m3, maybe i should stick with the S. welcome back

 

I have a similar story. Sold the S spring of '05 - had bought a "responsible car" (C class Mercedes). 6 months later i bought the very same year s2k (different color). I drove a host of other sports cars, but after the S - most of them don't have that "driver" feel even at double $.

 

I always love reading these threads.
