Default Went and test drove an S2000.......

Its been a while since I posted in this section.

A supercharged S2000 popped up locally for sale, so I figured I'd take a look at it.

It had the comptech SC w/AC, invidia exhaust, slotted rotors, aftermarket stereo, and was lowered. Oh, and the obligatory clear corners.

This car was the biggest pos Ive ever seen in my life. It had 71k miles on it, not 31k, it was from back east, I could see rust EVERYWHERE, there were holes in the convertible top (which was broken, btw), it had three different brands of pep boys tires on it, it pulled everywhere but straight when I gave it gas or braked, and pretty much every body panel was dented. It had an exhaust on it that was so loud that I cut short the test drive and the clutch started slipping at 3/4s throttle.

Poor car. I felt bad for it. It was apparently a repo. I feel like I just ate a really bad meal, and then the guy had the nerve to tell me there were two of these in the entire country? I told him "holy damn, thats crazy! Because I had the other one!"

Idiot.

Guess I'll keep looking for one.

Pakisho, you aren't missing much. Stick with your reliable chevy, this honda isn't so reliable.

This story saddens me...we should start a refuge for the abused S2000's out there. You know save them before it is too late and give them a home where they can play with other well kept S2000's
