Finally got a new car

I picked up a 2000 S2000 on Friday
Its silverstone metallic with black interior and it has 15k miles on it.

Im a new stick driver and it was a blast (w/ scary moments) learning over the weekend. Its such a fun car. I'll post pix when its sunny enough for me to wash her first.

Of course its a totally different car then a CL-S but its sweet. I do miss the CL's luxury and comfort.

I'll definately do that, but as far as mods i'm gonna save for a hardtop before anything else. My dream would be ITB's, but thats probably never going to happen. Need to pay the car off first.

I basically learned how to drive stick on a 30 min test drive of a S2K. It's pretty easy. You have to be patient when you first start off, and not try drive hard, or you'll more than likely miss a gear and blow things up.

Yeah stick isn't too bad at all to learn.

The clutch in my s2000 is actually pretty heavy which makes it a little harder then say a civic but still okay.

I spent about 30 mins in a mall parking lot at about 9am learning to go from a stop and then I drove around the mall twice. Then I drove on the streets, found some nice open roads in a farming area, took it on the freeway and drove home. I still need to work on hill and starting for a stop, but I think one or two more lesson and I'll be good. Overall anyone should be able to do it with a little patients and practice. Like Scrib said don't try to be a race car driver on day one, be like grandma until your comfortable with the car and everything.

Weather is still crappy today but i took some pix after a drive today.

Car's pretty stock so nothing fancy.






Neat thing though the car has a stealth modded radar detector
