Hmmm...if you plan on holding on to these for a while I might take them off your hands. Depends on how project, get a FoRS goes early next year. Pretty sure that size will fit on that car...

Damn. I thought I had it bad... It's not nearly that cold here, supposed to dip down to ~50F for a high mid week but then rebound back up to mid to upper 60's for the weekend. Super happy about that since I have to do some tile work this weekend and working with a wet saw in the cold is awful.

But TL's do have more sound abatement.

245/40R/18? I may be interested. My Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3s are going into their fifth winter season, and I'm right on the cusp of potentially needing a new set. Any way to find out how much shipping would be?

It's a very abnormal year here. This is the first time I can ever remember there being snow on (Canadian) thanksgiving. This winter will be long and brutally cold.

My backyard, as of yesterday:


Im hoping this all still melts next week. It might. It should.

Ugh, I'm jelly. I miss that part of the world. Spent a lot of time there when we had a company we were working with in the area. So gorgeous and well kept. Best part was all expenses went on the company card because dayum it's pricey to go out around there.

We had an S2000 meet and cruise last Saturday here in the Twin Cities. It was quite chilly morning at 45 degrees. 20 showed up. I didn't continue with the cruise up north as I had other plans already. I'm the gpw next to the yellow.

I'm a little surprised that out of 20, there isn't at least one offensively plastidip colored one with hellasick cambergang wheels laying frame and dragging parts.

Or is that one strategically placed off to the right, hidden by the light pole?

Yep. The 20th one must be exactly as I suspected...

Poor Chadrick... never makes it into the group photos because he's still trying to 40-point turn over the curb into the parking lot.

Up here, there's quite a number of yellow s2000s. I can't speak for the blue ones... I don't think they were ever available in Canada. But the yellow ones are all over the place.

I wish there was a green s2000 option... like a british racing green... with saddle brown interior

#20 was a late arriving Silverstone. One of the berlinas was stanced out. Some guy drive by to ask what it was called. This Laguna owner did his best Mustang impersonation the weekend before leaving the local C&C meet which was pushed back a week due to the Ryder cup and its security needs.

I see he has that 4WS/PAWS equipped s2000. A really rare and expensive feature.

pictures are blurry as fuck, but it looks like his rear tire is completely bald in the first pic. If so, he's an idiot.

Looks like the second black one from the right fits your requirements.

Didn't they make a BRG-ish color in some markets? In MN, there aren't that many loud colors of anything. We are a very reserved people. I wish saddle brown was an option period, regardless of what the external color was.

Must be that "snap oversteer" that happens when you do things that will make a car violently change directions because you're too ham fisted to get yourself out of a situation that you shouldn't have put yourself into.

What do you mean? This is how you drive rwd:

1. Enter corner at too fast of speed

2. Once ass end starts coming out, immediately slam on brakes

3. Don't even think about adding gas and counter steering

4. End up high centred over median with extensive suspension damage.
