Well here are some pictures of my new car. Sorry for the blurry pictures. I was using my sister's Sony CyberShot and cannot for the life of me hold a camera steady to take a good picture. Enjoy! 👍
She is a 2005 Honda S2000. When I got her, two weeks ago today, she had just over 5,800 miles and as you can see is now approaching 6,500. 👍 The first scheduled maintenance for the car is rapidly approaching at 7,500 miles.
Quoted from myself from another thread:
After every drive in the S2000, I walk away very pleased. The car is absolutely wonderful. The interior fits just right. The steering wheel is right where you would want it and it feels great in your hands; the shifter for the transmission is the same way. The engine is excellent; hit the range where the cams switch over to the more aggressive profile and look out for the redline because it arrives quickly (and that blast is very addictive!). I have driven at least a half dozen standards and the S2000s is by the best I have ever touched; the clutch is light, the shifter is direct, and the throws are nice and short.
When it comes to the exterior, the S2k is definitely a looker. Today at lunch, I noticed a half dozen people noticing it and that is just the number of people that walked by in the time I was sitting waiting for my food.
I would not be the one to talk to when it comes to hustling the car around corners because I have done very little of it. There are just not enough roads in Central Oklahoma that curve. But the straight line blasts are a thrill, especially when you hit the VTEC range. What little I have done cornering has left me the impression that the car is extremely well planted and would be suited to just about anything you could throw at it. I have gotten the tail out a bit on a few occasions and it has been very easy to real in, just a quick flick of the steering wheel to the opposite direction.
Finally, let me just say that the car puts a smile on my face all of the time. I absolutely love that it is a convertible. Top down driving is the best and everyone needs to experience it (especially with an engine pulling 8k directly in front of you! ). I have done little driving with the top up and that is still great, but not near the experience of driving with it down.
