Thanks Aman. Yup, on the way back from FL, top down the whole way home. Though I will say I was deaf, sunburnt, wind beaten, and my throat hurt from always yelling when trying to talk to my co-pilot.

At least I know now the car will be well decorated, have a fabulous vocabulary and be the best host!

Lol, so you did drive with the top down. I just figured it was down to snap the pics. I didn't think it was that mild out - but well done man.

Thanks man. Well on the way there I drove top up. On the way back I drove top down.

Also on my way back a slammed TSX pulled up next to me. He rolled down his passenger window and gave me a thumbs up. Then his girl started taking pics with her cell phone. Today was a good day. Lol

You haven't lived if you've never driven top down in freezing winter with heated seats and heating blowing in your face. It's a stupid and strangely satisfying feeling.

OH! So that's where J's S2k went!! Glad to see it's still making an appearance on AZ. Chip, you're definitely doing that car justice, it looks great! The s2k was always a dream car of mine as well. I remember requesting a receiving the brochure for the s2000 in the mail back when I was in middle school... It was and still as a magnificent car.

Thanks man! I'm trying my best to keep up with all the pics J used to post of it. Only thing that gets in the way is the damn weather here in NJ.

Fantastic video...that just made me uber sad.

Money isn't as fun as ripping through the streets in that car. The TL is the logical choice for a reasonable only car to keep...the S2000 is the slutty big titted road head giving girl you meet at a bar and spend the weekend with in key west. I made the right and the wrong choice all in one shot.

I have honestly not felt the driving enjoyment that I had since the day I handed you the keys. Fk.

Thanks Thanh, been doing well, how have you been? Just the same old same old for me. Just waiting for this damn weather to finally break so I can get back to driving the S. I'm sure you have to be pretty sick of all the snow as well.

this is really turning out to be one of the classiest modded S2K on the internet. Rims & stance are perfect. Now power to match the sporty look. Picture taking skills are solid too. Great job!

Y'all crazy...you don't think he submitted approval for this request from management weeks ago?

Looking awesome, Chip...I love it. Rotrex is what Andy was working with, no? He can likely shed some light and guide you.

You're not forgiven

There was no meeting. Chip didn't tell me because he assumed I'd call him a fucking idiot. But I didn't...I high fived him for having the sack to force induction on this bitch.

Thanks Aman, I can't wait either. I get the upgraded clutch put in on Thursday, then I have to get between 300-500 miles on it before I can install the supercharger and tune it.

LOL, thanks J. And he is correct, I made the purchase and was actually thinking about hiding it and doing a big reveal after it was all done, but I couldn't hold back from telling my bro. He has been quite supportive of the purchase as well.
