^ Interesting comment. I purchased my 01 S2000 in high school and replaced it with an FX35 upon leaving for school. The SUV was nice for carrying my duffels, but otherwise unnecessary. Ended up back in another S2000 after I missed it and realized that it would suffice just fine. Yes, cargo space is limited BUT ditching the spare tire and trunk tools gives you probably 50% more trunk space (and probably saves 40lbs). It's not bad, for a roadster. I wouldn't get a different car just because one trip requires some extra cargo space, and I can't imagine you'd need the cargo space for textbooks and whatnot once you're there.

So riced out, but damn was it fun. Glad that's outta my system!

Nope, sold that one in '06 (replaced with the FX). Currently driving a '95 Ranger 4x4, manual everything and no AC. I'd say it was a lateral move.

Looking for a Z4M but this thread has me thinking supercharged AP2...

I only found one pick of my old S2k. After this pic i added a Amuse lip and lowered it. And had a custom exhaust made that gave me headaches after 5min in the car.. The resonance was unbearable

But i loved the car. Most fun car for the price, especially nowadays

Fantastic cars. I had a white AP1, I plan to have another one some day. It was totally reliable (mine had 120k miles on it even) and I drove it 10/10 every chance I got

I agree completely! That was a really nice S2000.

Sideways - that's a fantastic S2000! BBS LMs, Berlina Black w/red leather = perfection. Repped.

Oh THAT pos.. Yup, still sporting it. Thought the clutch was finally going out (original disk, 145K) since it felt like it was dragging and not fully disengaging. But I had the master cylinder bled and she's back to butter! Keeping this hunk even after it's replaced. Chicks dig.

Berlina/Red is such a hot combo. Also loved the Amuse lips on AP1s.
