Did you think you'd keep it this long?

When I bought my first S2000 back in 2000 I didn't think about the car's future very much. I was so excited about buying the car, and I couldn't stay out of it. 
It was a shiny Berlina, the S that <Matrix> Marco (where did he go?) steadfastly claimed was the mostest, fastest, beautifulest color of them all!! I had no plans ever to sell it, but after six or seven years of ownership and 86,000 happy miles, I was T-boned in the side by a wayward teenager who didn't stop at a stoplight; and after repair the car was not quite the same on the track; so I ended up trading her to the dealer for a new 2007 Rio. The Rio now has over 111,000 miles on the tach and, with TLC and careful maintenance, she still drives like a new car. Haha, it's not a ^^^ Silverstone, but hey, it's still faster than silver, AND the striking metallic yellow glistens and sparkles in the sun!

It's my go-to car. The one I want to drive everyday. Over the years, I think I put 58,000 on my '01, and 103,000 on my '05. My '07 is just at about 18,000.

I'm looking forward to installing a hover conversion. They should be out next year:

After that I'll save up for a flux capacitor. They should have already been invented, but I have not seen any adds.

Everyone will want a ride! But you go to the front of the line.

Time goes by so fast this month marks eleven years that I've owned my S.
