Default Proud owner of new s2k :) A few ???

Hello all,
Proud owner of a 2008 S2000, 12k miles, with transferrable CPO
to 48k non-powertrain, 100k powertrain.
I have wanted this car for about the last 5 years, but due to
extensively traveling the last 2 years and my 1997 civic being so
darn reliable, haven't gotten around to it, until today.

I didn't have time to take any pics of my own today, will post a couple
teasers that are the seller's pics, tomorrow is supposed to be a really
nice day so will take some clearer photos then.

Love the black with red seats. I have to say, suspension REALLY stiff
and steering soo tight compared to my civic. I have to say I have found
a total of 2 tiny scratches on the entire car, interior is perfect.

Do any of you guys have any tips or tricks for keeping this car in good
shape and getting the most enjoyment out of it? Thanks!!

I'm pretty sure AP2 V3's = CR rims

Picture of an all stock CR below:

That's not stock, that's chopped a different color and lowered!

I think "sportier" rims might be rims that are sportier than sport.
I'm just spit-balling here though so excuse my antics.

I payed roughly 23k-25k, CPO was already bought by
previous owner and transferrable according to American Honda.

Thanks for all the warm comments guys.

On a separate note (didn't want to start a new thread),
let my buddy drive and at like 29mph he shifted from 2nd into 1st (instead of third),
nothing happened it just went to like 5500 rpm (didn't disengage clutch
all the way), no problem with that guys?

I'm even surprised the transmission let him do that, that would not happen
even if I tried in my old civic I think.
