Everyone's Got Bitch's About Their Car...

Yes, even the S2000. If you get bored, jump over to this S2000 forum and check out the pros and cons of owning an S2000:

Choose "S2000 Talk" and go to "Should I Buy An S2000? The bitch's are different than our forum.

Soooo true...lurk around the Ferrari boards for awhile (ferrarichat.com is a good one). Even F-Car owners bitch about all kinds of things...clutch life, picky carbs, engine over heats, cost of oil changes etc, etc (granted, most of these complaints ae regarding 15 - 20 year old 308's, 328's etc., but a Ferrari is still a Ferrari!). I guess it's all relative...

That's right. There's an old saying: "The Grass Is Always Greener In The Other Fellows Yard."

Transmisison is a bitch, but check this out:

even if your old car was a pain in the ass, if it was your "Baby" your probably going to remember it as a flawless jewl.

get a new car, and it just wont hold up to your fake expectation

At least we can get the tranny replaced with a warranty with no questions asked. If you had an S2000, you'd have a hard time getting the replacement because Honda techs say you beat the shit out of it. Then you have to go thru all kinds of red tape and maybe win your point. I don't think I could buy a car and worry about that shit. If something is broken, I want to bring it to Acura and get it fixed no questions asked.

If you look at this one issue, compared to the many problems that people have with other cars--especially given the price and the new warranty extension--we have it pretty good!

Lets also be realistic! No car is perfect and to think there is one out ther is not realistic on your (own) part.

as was already said...the grass always looks greener on the other side!!!
