I bought it right after I drove it.

"Damn... This is the first time I had to pay for a car in order to test drive it. Well, at least it drives as I anticipated."

hmm my first drive was delivering a new black '01 s2k(still with the white plastic all over it with the soft top cover) to another dealership from my job, and it was so much fun. but since the car was brand new, i never took it over 4k rpm and treated the car like it was mine..you can't find too many guys like me these days . when i got back to my job, i promised myself i would buy one in the coming years. my dream came true when i got my '03 last february.

I was thinking of buying an A4 v6-quattro or a 350Z and test drove them both. Then I saw an S2000 in a magazine remebered how much I wanted one but never thought I could afford one(when they first came out).

I went and test drove one and never thought another thought of the 35....... what?

My first time driving one was in an autocross 2 years ago. My dad let me borrow it. I looked pretty stupid on the track, I think my back end was leading the way for at least half the track. I understand what RWD is now though and drive much better

"Wow" and "I gotta buy this" were the first 2 thoughts through my head.

If anyone wants that great feeling you get from an S2K, my friend is looking to sell his to a fellow enthusiast. Check the sig. PM for questions. The S2000 really is a work of art, I must say.

My friend worked at a Honda dealership for a couple of months. I asked him if one day I could stop by and test drive the S2000. He said no problem, and so I did. I thought I was going to feel cramped inside, but it actually felt comfortable. The short shifting was incredible...fast response and in no time I was hitting VTEC on a deserted road. I had the top down and feeling the cool breeze on my hair was something words could not describe. The car handled superbly through the various turns. I will never forget...
