pics of my new ride...


















This thing is friggen sweet. I wasn't 100% sure if I made the right decision buying it, but the first pass on the 93 through the mountains, 50 mph to 100 mph went by in about 1.2 seconds. 6500 rpm on up it just screams and takes off, plus the handling is incredible. I had no idea this car was so...unrefined in way (a good, good way). The engine screams enough to drown out conversation even during normal drives, and every bump jolts the car. For the first few minutes I thought I was going to catch air off the reflectors on the lane lines.

When I got back in the CLS after a few hours in the s2k, it felt like I was driving my grandmothers Buick

If the S2000 came in coupe form - and was 200lbs ligher, I think it would be damn near perfect.
