I wouldn't drive the S2000 in the winter =) It wasn't ment to be driven in the snow. I think you should spend alittle more money on a winter beater maybe 6-8G. So you know that you'll get a better product at the end. What you pay is what you get ;p. Two of my friend bought honda beater that cost 4 G and spent more than 2G just fixing it up.

Just my 2 cent

BTW Mann The Hard top is mine!!!! I just need to find someway to make some extra cash. Maybe I'll pimp my girl at To this weekend ;p
Why isn't the S2000 meant to be driven in snow?

With a resonable set of tires, you are good to go

The S2000 is an incredible winter car. Fun as hell.

During the wicked snowstorms of 2 winters ago, my car was beating on AWD Audis and stuff the entire time. I could go anywhere, do anything. It was outrageous.

Oscar - I want my car back to drive this winter. Okay?

Welcome to the board, if you are interested in getting to know you car a bit better there is a lapping day at Shannonville this saturday i will be at. As for the winter beater, i just got a 92 civic for myself. It has some mods so it kinda isn't a beater but i don't want to chance other drivers running into my S when it snows.
I would absolutely love to go but prob this weekend is a little late notice. How much is the event and how long?

Mannn: the hardtop would cost more than $2300 repainted.

^ yup, about another $300 at most. so that comes to $4100

mannn - your winter tires cost you that much? mine were only about $700 (which I paid even less because I didn't pay retail at the time). then again i only have a set of dunlops so maybe they didn't perform as well - but who cares, i haven't gotten stuck anywhere, not even thru the last couple of blizzards.
