That car is gorgeous! I love the S2000, one of these days I will have to buy one, in like 20 years.

CGTSX2004 02-23-2008 10:40 PM

God I love the S2k...

Only wish I could talk the fiancee into getting rid of the Miata so we can replace it with an S2k, though the Miata is a super rare limited edition, so it's still worth quite a bit of money right now.

^^ That's interesting, you have the black/red door panels with black seats.

Crazy Bimmer 02-25-2008 08:50 PM

Very nice! I thought we had more S2k owners on AZ.... everyone should post pics here!

Whats with the S2k owners all having those round shift knobs. Voodoo?

Im just so use to leather knobs.

Loseit 02-25-2008 09:11 PM

FiveLiterCheater 02-25-2008 09:16 PM

I think i'm going to go look at this one S2000 I found in my area....

Do you think insurance will be much higher than my 2005 TL?

Crazy Bimmer 02-25-2008 09:23 PM

yes.

let's put it this way: my mom is 56 yrs old, never had a wreck or a ticket in years and my parents have 4 cars 2 motorcycles and a motor home and my mom had a heart attack at the s2000 rates>


And Jesal, how do the rates compare to your 335i?

iTimmy 02-25-2008 09:35 PM

I still only have the pics from the day I got mine, once the weather gets better there will be better pics

That's odd, I have a squeaky clean record, I went from a 2007 G35 to a 2008 S2000 and my insurance went up $63 a year

2005 with 24k miles (grey/red) for $21,000....seems too good to be true?

I compared insurance quotes...I guess you get a good discount for having a 3.0+ GPA and being a student so it comes out roughly $100 more a month than the TL :ugh: They're quoting me almost $600 a month for the TL though, and we pay roughly half of that. Thats just going by eSurance though...i'll give our actual company a call tomorrow.

Crazy Bimmer 02-25-2008 09:44 PM

^ Hmm i might have to shop around then.

S2k is costing me $400 more a year than the 335.

And the S2k is listed as a pleasure car thats driven less than 7500miles a year :run:

But I also have a couple tickets in the past 3 years.

zeroday 02-25-2008 09:48 PM

my 335i insurance is surprisingly cheap actually...considering my driving record...

Crazy Bimmer 02-25-2008 09:48 PM

^ werd, mine almost stayed the same going from the A4 to the 335.

zeroday 02-25-2008 09:49 PM

thinking about ditching the 335i btw...it's just not doing it for me anymore. i get tired of cars too quickly :(

Holy crap you paying roughly $300 a month for insurance right now on the TL? :what: :what: :what:

You asked for it.. :D

Somehow your blue interior looks much hotter than the one in this s2k that I had, though...

:what: Seems like you caught the same virus like me. Except it took me a year and a half. You should throw a piggyback computer in there man, it'll become a little rocket. In all honesty, I already regret(kind of) getting rid of that car even though I had no choice...it's a really nice coupe.

Crazy Bimmer 02-25-2008 09:53 PM

^ your color is girly. :D

What would you get? I still love the 335 for what it offers.

Although having two cars is really more fun. Once you get tired of one of them you can swap and drive the other for a bit. Makes you really appreciate the other for longer.

I'd be amazed if i get tired of the S2k. I dont even have an urge to mod it yet... thats a first for me.

And thats with the student discount... :ugh: Thats also the best rate I could get, the rest were well over $500/m

Still cheaper than the $6,900/yr quote I got for the RSX-S and $7,900/yr quote I got for the E46 M3 :what: :what: :what:

So what do you think? 05' with 24k miles for 21.5?

Also, what is the average gas mileage you guys are getting in the city? I wish I could do more highway driving but driving in DC is a b*tch. Some of you NYC folks pitch in :thumbsup:

I bought in September 06'. This is about the time I get the itch. I'm kind of liking the s2000 idea though..who knows...

You got your 335 in Sept 06??? :what: But like Jesal said, it wouldn't hurt if you looked into getting the S2k as a weekend warrior.

I do have two cars...the problem is, one is a toyota avalon :tomato:

:yes: I was an early adopter...and amazingly, still on the original fuel pump.

I like the s2k idea...i might have to think this one over. Problem is, I like having a FWD commuter car due to the crappy weather around here.
