Did you think you'd keep it this long?

Like a few of you, I'm on my second S2000. The '00 Silverstone was sold in June to a good friend....so I still have visiting privileges (even borrowed back after an accident in the replacement). I GREATLY enjoyed 66 months/ 65,000 mi....but decided to trade up for a different color and a glass rear window
I'm enjoying the '03 GPW and love the tan leather. It cost me only $10K to upgrade and has just turned 17,000 miles. I intend to try to NOT make this one a daily driver....hopefully keeping it a longer time.
In a nutshell, I hope to remain an S2000 owner for a long time....but am not necessarily stuck on driving the SAME S2000. The Vintage and s2ki communities have certainly been a life-changing bonus to ownership.
We'll see what the aging body allows in the years ahead....

I always buy a car with the intention of keeping it until it won't go any more.
I hope the S survives it's tour of duty as my track car, and ends up retired as a street cruiser. Time will tell.

When you first bought it did you really think you'd own it this long? Did you really think that you'd become so passionate about a car? When did it steal your heart?
My only regret concerning the car is that I was unable to buy a Moonstone or yellow model. The dealer only had the Silverstone and Sebring models. But I've learned to live with the Silverstone.

LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT!!!!! I guess you've had to adjust to something that is the fastest, hence that statement, right??? Everyone knows Silverstone is the fastest S.

When I got back from the test drive with the dealer, Martha remarked that I hadn't smiled like that since the day Nixon died.
Based on the attendees at the Sunshine meet, did you consider Berlina? Two out of four. Or maybe you could just ask Matrix about his favorite color.
