So I got another S2K finally
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:

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...

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

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
)
