Default s2000 my dream car...maybe

So i have been driving a lifted jeep for about a year and a half now. Got out of the game because of all the ricers and bs. I just graduated college and im thinking of looking into a S2000. My question is how many people DD their S2k, im about 5'10 195 used to be 220 but i have been hitting the gym hahaha. Well anyways i just wanted to know the problems you encounter by doing this. Fiance is about to get a g35 sedan so we can always use that for long road trips, but the S2k will be my dd taking me to and from work. Thanks!

or if you want to really treat yourself, get a Jap import that has the AP2 mods but with the AP1 motor in it.

I thought that was my job to be the mediator. I guess we can be a team

But really everyone...don't get used to this. Remember what day it is.

i'm 5'8" 185(gotta get down to 170) and i dd my ap1 about 350miles a week. i have no issues unless the snow is really bad outside and i have to bundle up, then it gets kinda tight.

other than that, great car and good comfortable seats.
