You are supposed to take the computer apart before you melt the circuit boards and extract the gold. Good luck

Just left a deposit on an S2000. This one will stay relatively stock. I am building an e46 track car now over on e46 fanatics. I am picking up my S2000 next week My video review was never posted because it wouldn't be complete without an AP2 I got some nice footage of other S2000s while scooting around thunderhill the other weekend.

Yep, thank you!

A little update:

I tried a lot of other sports cars and was working with a decent budget. I looked at the C5/C6 Z06, cayman S, Z4 M coupe, and also considered a new BRZ or FRS. In the end, I saw a Laguna Blue Pearl S2k on the car lot. I test drove it and all the memories came back .

The new car is a later AP2 with just under 50k miles. It has been garaged and honda serviced. I am picking it up on Saturday. I will document the experience with a canon xa20 and some go pros.

Thank you! I was doing terrible. I felt jealous every time an S2000 drove by. I'm something like $7,000 in parts into my BMW track project and the majority is preventative maintenance stuff. It's fine because I have a good job... but I'm just not getting the BMW thing. I'm not going to give up on it though.

Pics and videos of the new S2000 to follow soon

BMW's feel just like my Grohe faucet: very well built, very long lasting, but not very exciting.

It's Maria Shriver versus that hawt girl you met at the university swimming pool.

I don't know if my BMW is well built. I agree with not very exciting though. It isn't really a sports car. The BMW PR department has the public fooled with "the ultimate driving machine" bit. BMWs excel in the fact that they make an extremely well rounded car. It's comfy and can scoot around the track at a decent pace .

There is some S2000 footage in here (anyone know the owners?) along with my new car in the back left. I had a hard time finding a clean 2006 Sebring Silver S2000.
