    Default Impulsive

    Well... I went and did something impulsive yesterday, though I've been thinking about it for a little while....

    Thanks to TC for the nice artistic photo...

    I wouldn't call taking a picture of an S2000 very impulsive. But hey it is a good picture...




    Just kidding, very very nice looking car. Does this mean you will make more s2k events next year? Congrats

    Congrats on the new ride. So I guess you'll be selling the Miata?

    Mostly it was a room issue... I really don't fit the Miata very well... having to make seat modifications so that I fit at all... I'm not saying the S2K has a lot of room, but it does have more head/leg room than the Miata. I can put the top up on this one and not have my head deforming the top.

    Perhaps the NB wasn't your ideal solution... and the NC wasn't your taste. You and I are about the same height and I know I have you beat in girth... perhaps an NA was in your future? Hmmm... just my .

    Really though, it looks like a sweet car... enjoy the hell out of it! And be sure to stick around.

    Congratulations! The S2k is a great car.

    So does this mean we'll see you at the autocross this weekend?

    Awesome car! Congrats on the purchase.

    I hear people talk about break-in period before you really drive a car hard..

    Here are my thoughts:
    What about the people who have test drove this car before you bought it? You don't think that MAYBE they bounced off the rev limiter once or twice? I know when I test drive a car, I drive it hard. Just my opinon...and opinons are likes
    No more Miata

    If you let me drive it at a future AX event, you can keep them! Congrats on the new ride Dave! Very nice.

    Nice Ride Dave.

    Never driven a Stook so I don't know much about them. Maybe you can change that?
