After much consideration, I decided to go through with buying another one. I missed the first one too much. It's a 2002 with about 31k miles on it. It's bone stock. Here it is:

 

enjoy

 

congrats!!

tip: run a bottle of techron through it. did wonders for mine.

 

I'm jealous again.

 

Looks awesome man, can't wait to see it!

 

congrats!

 

Congrats on the new ride.

Let us know how it goes.

 

@ matching live strong bracelet. Clean car. I need one of those one of these days.

 

Well...it's the right choice considering the gas prices.

 

It's a mini one from Build-A-Bear. The normal-sized one is on my right wrist.

 

Congrats on your purchase... I debated heavily before I choose the g35... Needed the extra two seats... ...

 

Hey babyblue -- at least the extra 2 seats keep the insurance rates lower. Plus you can actually DRIVE your car in the winter.

BTW, Great choice in the s2k!

 

Nice... I always wanted a yellow sportscar...

Did you go looking for yellow, or did the yellow find you ??

I see tons of the silver ones on the road (and forsale), but not many yellow (or blue) ones...

 

So on a sad note, not 3 days into the ownership on this car and I have given myself a good reason to join PETA. I donated my right rear suspension and wheel to a curb to save a cat's life. We hit it at about 30 mph, so the damage isn't as bad as some curb-surfing damage I've seen. Myself and the passenger are fine, but the car has sustained a little injury. The wheel edge cracked right where the spoke meets (but the tire didn't bust), the lower control arm snapped quite cleanly, the rotor snapped in half, the heatshield for the hub knuckle bent a bit, and the endlink for the sway bar came clean off.

I'm impressed that the trailing arm was unscathed and the remainder of the suspension seemed to be fine. I'll start the teardown on the car tomorrow morning to do a proper inspection to really see what I'm looking at. I've already initiated a claim with my insurance company, and they're going to follow up with me tomorrow morning. I had the car towed to my dealer and will have them get the process started, being that they open at 7 (and I go in at 8:30).

I took a couple pics on my brother's camera, so I don't have them in my possession yet. He'll email them to me tonight. Just curious, is this a sign?





I think I need a camber kit...

 

Yea, considering a V6 GMC ENVOY can get the same gas mileage as this Honda 4 cyl lightweight sportscar...

 

thats one damn lucky cat.

sorry to hear that man...

 

I get 17mpg in mine.

 

Sorry about the damage. Hope she'll be better than new soon!

Through the break-in period I have been averaging 25ish MPG.

 

Our service department is closed today for Labor Day (i'm not sure how I forgot about that one), so I can't have the estimate prepared by my people until tomorrow.

 

congrats on the car kurt....sorry bout the damaga

 

love that color on S2K

 

Damn Kurt, I was reading along all happy for you and then BAM!!. Sorry that happened bro.

 

So we did the estimate on the car:

Lower control arm, rotor and backing plate, endlink, wheel + tire, possibly the knuckle and bearing.

Total: $1475 parts, labor, and tax. (at customer-pay pricing )

 

damn well thats not so bad...goodluck with it when you get it back

 

Here are a couple better pics of the carnage:





Someone could be really cool and make the top one into an avatar for me. I suck with PS.

 

Yikes! I cannot believe you can force out a smile!

 

Or use it as an avatar ~~~~~>

 

 

Putting it to work now.
