S2000 passed emissions & safety inspection today... yay now I can go to the DMV to stand in line and pay my sales tax and registration fees. :|

The MSRP for a New S2K wasn't nearly 40K if I remember correctly...

Honda was selling them for ~ 32-34K I believe which was a steal all things considered. A nice low mileage CPO S2K can be had for under 25K now which is really a steal.

You'd have to spend A LOT more to get a comparable drivers car with the exception being the MX-5.

But yeah I think an effort should be made in educating people what makes a good drivers car.

As mentioned there is far too much emphasis on HP / test track #'s. Many of the funnest cars to drive are not amongst the quickest.

It's my topic, and afaik a clown car is an "other car."

Anyways, S2K is getting tint tomorrow.

To be honest I have no idea why I'm doing it. At dinner tonight I told my gf I have no idea why she even wants the car tinted. She denied everything and confused the hell out of me. Who wanted the S to get tinted?

Doesn't matter because Jay (GM_Traitor3.5) already set up our back to back appointments. Now that I think about it I bet it was his idea... he didn't want to go by himself.

Either way, it will be nice to have when you have to drive with the windows up. I think I'm doing 50% sides (legal limit in VA) and 35% on the rear window.
