How many years has it been? How many times have I saved my money only to have it go to something else?

I am finally the owner of a 2006 Honda S2000. Laguna Blue Pearl! Pictures may or may not come later. Anybody who was around three+ years ago when I started talking about it feel free to join with me in celebration of a dream finally realized.

Woo!
 
I wasn't here 3 yrs ago, but congratulations!

I'm surprised that you stuck to your goal for so long.
Were you tempted by another car at all during that time??

Post some pics!
 
Yay! :) Does it have that really cool blue-leather interior?
 
Very nice!

Although I may despise some of Honda's products from time-to-time, the S2000 has always been able to escape my criticism. As the "Miata for grown-ups," it has a great business look and feel to a car that is not only superior in performance, but superior in attitude as well.

Did you get it from a dealer? How was the experience? A lot of the Honda dealers around here try to jack buyers around with stupid stuff, which I've always found very strange, considering they're in unfriendly territory.

Photos are a MUST, and I'm excited to see them. Great job!
 
I was thinking about you just today - I saw an S2000 today and remembered you had that '90-'93 Accord and I wondered 'I wonder if he has an S2000 yet?' Congratulations!
 
Oh yeah! 👍

Funny thing is, this week, I wondered to myself when was the last time I saw you, and other older GTP members online, and here you are now!
 
I always thought you had an S2000! (woops)

But big congrats man! I can only imagine how that feels!
 
Ha ha, congrats, LM!

I'm not around much. But i'm old now i guess.. 6 years at gtp. Jebus.

Holy crap! It has been that long!

It's a beautiful Memorial Day here in my sleepy little town. I figure pictures will be forthcoming - I have people all over the world that are waiting to see my grinning face along side of my new car.
 
Congrats LM, I'm sure it's well deserved and I hope that car causes you nothing but joy.
 
Congrats on owning one of only 4 Honda products worth something. I like the S2000, its quite fun to drive when traction control off. Now don't go and rice it out. :sly:

Damn right.

You have fun now!

Edit: wait, Acid X? I haven't seen you around for, like, ever.
 
Excellent! I'm really glad you finally got it, LM! Please do show us pictures. That's great news!

Yeah, what can i say, life has been quite busy these past few years.

It's nice to know that other people that i used to talk with here are still around though. :)

Sweet deal there LM, isn't it awesome to finally get something you wanted so bad :) I'm proud of you dude! : )
 
Oh yeah, I recall the days of your ranting about the inevitable arrival of your S2000. ;) Congratulations, bud, I hope you enjoy that sweet ride.
 
Finally LM! That's great that you finally got the car you always wanted.

Ahhhh S2000, so good looking.

Mine is a 2006 with 5,500 miles. I paid a little less than KBB trade in value.

Depending on milage that could be a good price for a 2003. Keep in mind that Honda made changes to the S2000 nearly every year. You may want to do some research to find the year with all the features you want. I would avoid 2000 and 2001 as a primary car (they'd be great for track days only) - they have plastic rear windows. In 2002 they got glass, clock on the dash, leather on the center console (previously carpeted, yuck!) and a cupholder I think. In 2004 they got got a bigger engine and tires along with associated mechanics. In 2006 they got more cockpit storage facilities, speakers in the roll hoops (I can't tell if they're making noise or not ...), and other center console enhancements. And if you're like me and the color of paint and leather matters, different colors and combinations have been available almost every year. Unfortunately we still haven't gotten black paint with tan leather. I might actually trade my car for that ;)

I'd like to have a 2000 or 2001 for modifying and tracking, but I'm not going to do any of that to my current car.
