Not to say I wouldn't love one, just that I would feel a tad immature in it

It's definitely a more refined and mature car.
I agree 100%

I'll update my thread once the car gets here.
Damn, Mark Levinson too?!

That's an awesome and uncommon color combination.

Lol, came from a Mini GP. Would've kept the car, but needed rear seats now that our little one is starting school.

The wife drives the Merc, but we'll more than likely get rid of that this year. If we can swing the same deal for an NX, it'll be another no brainer.

So nothing even remotely close to what I do.

When I'm looking for a job again in a few years I'm definitely going to look at moving south.

We all did. And we all came up with the same results.

What do you do?

Yeah, I really wanted LBP, but it didn't happen. Oh well! Silverstone is classy and easy to keep clean.

Trust me, I wasn't pleased. I didn't even take the S2k today because I was too lazy to move the truck and then get the car out afterwards

Heater in the S2000 works really fucking well once it's up to temp...do feet and face full blast, and top down windows up with a hat on...

You'll be the coolest guy arriving to work!

Headlights are perfect and I like the clear side markers (JDM yo!).


Still on the OEM suspension. At some point, I'll probably go with Koni Yellow's on the stock springs. I've driven a handful of s2000's with suspension mods, and thought most were a downgrade from stock.

Have to angle out of my drive at stock height, so even the slightest drip is out of the question.

I need to move back to the desert. I can't take this Chicago (burbs) bullshit weather. The Janushitty shitweather asscast gets worse in fuckuary, before a small smidgeon of summer between Shitjune and Shitember. God I hate the weather here.

Storage. 6 months of storage.

Ehhhhh. IDK if Koni Yellows are an upgrade from stock. Shorter rear travel than stock. Twin tube vs stock monotube.

They're adjustable for rebound damping. But you're using stock springs...so...not really a useful feature.

I think you can keep the car close to stock height with Bilstein PSS's. WAY better than Konis.

Recently moved to Saint Chuck. You?

I wore several hats and woolen clothes today. I need to be uncomfortably warm at all times.

I'd say CA but even CA has been a bit cool these last few days.

I got to make an Autocross run in one with the Koni/OEM combo and really liked it (in fact, one of the faster cars in the region).

I'll definitely consider my options before doing anything.

Oh I hate the cold and being cold... but today feels relatively warm. And thank goodness for a garage.
