why would I do that, I owned both sets!
after buying, shipping, center caps, powder...I was into those like $2200
ahhh...my old life where I was a baller with no kids. I have enough kids in my life
now to carry me to work every day on a chariot though, so there's that.

Yeah, that was it, Sam...taking up space...2 sets of wheels for each car...better to have the cash
and I'm getting old or something cause now I feel like an good looking oem wheel that fits the style
of the car is the best. Any luck on selling your S? When it's parked there...I contemplate it...the
Audi is more comfy and practical for daily driving...but again, literally every time I drive the S I'm like
nope...never selling this one. If I had to drop to 2 cars I'd be S2000 and Yukon probably.

Anyway, I derailed...
drove this bitch today...lately been enjoying not revving it too high...a little sideways here and there...but keeping it under 5k rpm and cruising at 65 (which is slow for US27)
and I'm a huge fucking dork...just realized my watch face matched...maybe it was Freudian

Ah, I didn't realize that you had both sets already, I figured you went out and bought some new wheels.

There have been a couple people inquiring about it but I think it'll take a while to sell because I don't exactly have it up for cheap. There was one dude who came by and said he's been looking for a good condition, stock, low mileage S2000 for over a year and this is the first one he's come across but it was too expensive. Wonder what rock he's been living under lol. There's another guy who just talks in poorly worded texts and emails that I'm hesitant to even meet with and a couple other tire kickers who have asked a bunch of questions. Doesn't matter to me if it takes a while to sell. Car has always been paid off and insurance is cheap so I'll enjoy the time I have left with it! New rear pads go on this weekend. The set on there now is original to the car from 2004 lol.

brother, there is nothing like not needing the money...you can take your sweet time and you get just as much excitement at the prospect of a sale as you do relief from the person passing and getting to enjoy it and ponder your decision to sell for longer.

Maj...definitely man...140k ain't shit...seals all fresh, that billman genX timing chain tensioner...I was thinking this morning, damn engine sounds and feels strong.

No brainer, IMO. If you had to pick JUST one, it has to be the NSX.

Now, I wouldn't trade the S2K for them but I would heavily pause for the chance to be in a minty Integra Type R and if the price is decent, add a 2005 Civic SiR to my garage.

NSEX is SO cool, BUTT, the SEX2K relines at makes 240 HP and 9K RPM on an N/A emgine, too hot to throw to pot... IMO!

Not to mention the NSX came with a 4AT, and the S came only in a 6 speed, so the NSX was also a "female or midlife crisis cruiser"!

I don't think that's true...that last statement.
but no, they are way more than I'd be willing to pay at this point. MAYBE when they were dipping into the high 20's...now, it's crazy and I love my S2000 just fine.
2005 SiR though, you got me sprung...my aunt had one in Suisse while I was stuck with a normal and anemic K20Z3 with vtec only on the intake side IIRC.
