Have you ever had one of those days where all you want to do is just get in your car and push that little red button and forget about things for a while..?
Yesterday was one of those days for me..

...and here is why I love my S2K.

Do I wish it had a little more power? Sometimes I wish it was faster than some other cars, but really, 240 HP is plenty for me.

Is it the best looking car on the road? Most of the time. It still doesnt look dated and I still love getting to look at it every day. Which is all that matters to me.

Do I wish it had more room? Of course I do. But if that was a priority, I would have just bought a coupe of a 4 seat convertable.

Is owning it impractical? Yes and no. I live in Ohio, I need a winter car, so why not NEED a summer car too? If I buying something, I might as well get something I love and that does what I want it to do? No top and it makes all the right noises I like to hear. Thats what I need to survive a summer.

Do I mind paying a little more for aftermarket parts? Not at all, because I havent had to spend any money on fixing things that have broken. Reliability is something other OEM's need to learn about from Honda. So spending more on quality add on pieces is totally worth it.

Do I wish S2K's had more driver conviences? Sometimes I wish I had Bluetooth, heated seats or dual climate cooling zones, but I am glad that I dont, because that means that $30k+ we paid to buy the car, went into building the car and producing the best drivers car ever made, and not selling us bells and whistles.
It wouldnt matter if I had bluetooth anyhow, no one would be able to hear me with the top down and the exhaust roaring.

Will I ever want to sell my S2K? At some point I probably will. Thats why I need to enjoy it now. Why save the miles for the next guy?


Sorry for the rant.. but I do my best thinking when I am driving. And driving is all I can think about.

 

Totaly agree with all your points

have had my S for around 3 weeks now and loving every minute of it, even though lots of hours are spent in traffic

Im from South Africa and the S2000 is very pricey, i paid around $40000 for a 2008 with 150000ks or roughly 9000miles on it,, but i didnt care about the money, what a car , could of had a choice of any other car, but none of them are like the S

 

Words spoken from a true S2000 owner ...only another S owner would get it ...This car makes u ....its like no other car out there ..i'll own MY S forever ...I sold my s once ...once

 

Agreed. Hells yeah

 

I've only owned mine for a little over 24 hours and I agree on all points. I'm hoping the enjoyment doesn't fade as it did with my swapped CRX, but I think the minor annoyances that come with age just annoy me about the CRX. Once it's restored I think I'll enjoy every drive as well.

 

same "stuff" happened to me today,
went and washed her, then took a drive out into the valley.... nice twisties...cleared me up nice!!!!
now back to solutions and fact finding....
I feel like I've had a good day, and nothings gunna stop me from finishing my project "headlight protectors"
wtf its only a time delay!!

why I love my S2000.

 

xoz!

Today was one of those spring days. I hate the weather man right now. It was going be a "clearing shower". So rain in the morning around commute time, I thought, hmm bit grey, I'll use the car not the bike. Been dying to ride the bike.

Good thing I have the S2000, stop en route to work for a coffee, the clouds have cleared. Top down all the way. I so my 08 Chicane.

 

I love my 08 Chicane as well I've been fortunate and have had two days of great weather. It's supposed to rain tomorrow morning which will ruin my fun on the way to work, but on my way home it's supposed to be around 70F and sunny. Part of my rush to get one was to enjoy the great weather while it's still here.

 

By far best vehicle I've owned. NC weather is epic right now.

 

feel the exact same way but im never selling mine!
