corrected:

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.

Your phone does that because "funnest" is not a word

But the S2k is not a fun car, at all. It's a very serious car. Ergo, S2000, as in Serious 2000. Duh.

50% sides and 30% rear. 50% is the legal limit in VA for the side windows and I've been pulled over before for 35% so I decided to keep it legal.

Kind of a wacky day. Tint shop was way behind and they took FOREVER on GM_Traitor3.5's Maxima. So we did what any responsible adults would do to pass the time and played on the rail road tracks.





Back to tint news, the state House passed a bill to change the legal tint limit to 35% this month. It needs to pass the Senate yet. If it does, the 5.0 is going in to get 35% on the side windows again and I'll probably have the S redone. Will do the Benz while I'm at it. Fingers crossed.

First I see tints on roadster. I like it!

Looks good

I have mine at 35% for the Z (legal limit) and now I kinda wish I had gotten it darker, maybe like 20-25%.

We really like them and might have them powdercoated. I've seen them done in a light gold or darker bronze and they look really good.

For now, though, the car is just going to get some Star Specs and we'll figure everything else out later.

Star specs are great tires for that car!

No my phone auto wronged the word "funnest" which IS a word to "funniest" which is also a word but was used in the wrong context.

Meaning the S2K is one of the "funnest" cars to drive. You can also say "most fun", "most enjoyable" , "entertaining", etc. The point is all the same.

Whoa now... we were just poking fun. No one was being serious.

I guess if you mean the S2K is "serious" as in that it's a "serious" machine sure but that's not at all what I was talking about. I obviously stated the S2K is amongst the most fun cars to DRIVE not that the car it self is somehow "fun".
