    Default New Car (s2k) & Toy

    Its been a while since Ive been on, but I havent had a car to drive. Once I sold my Sentra of Death 8 months ago, I bought a 03 Jeep Rubicon. The jeep was pretty cool. Did some "off roadin" here and there but I did not utilize enough for what it was ment to be. I then bought a new gsxr 750 to fill the void of not having a car, but it was still not the same...

    So last week I went and traded the jeep in for an 08 s2000 CR. Its a blast to drive. This thing feels like you're driving a gokart. As one would expect, its not fast at all. My old beater sentra of death would walk it in a staight line, but most definatly not around a track. Any who, I thought I would explain my absence and post some pictures of it. Also posted a pic of the bike. I couldnt find the pictures of the bike alone, but found one from last month at the track.

    PS: Plans for the s2000 are: Hytech header & test pipe, stock exhaust and a Vortech supercharger. All thats coming in about 11months from now though.

    I have never driven or ridden in a standard one, so I would'nt know. It is very stiff and low for a factory car though. Also, since there is no sound deadening, its pretty loud inside with road noise, noise from the transmission, diff, squirrels etc..

    They wanted 28+taxes&title though after going back an forth with offers for 30min, I jewed them down to 26.9 out the door with a detailed clean&wash aswell as an oilfilter for a 2008 nissan altima (needed to change the oil on the GFs car HAHA). BB for mine is 28.4 so I was pretty happy with the deal.

    You bought an awesome car. CR is the best S2K IMO.

    I'm all old and stuff. I no longer like noise makers or them next door neighbors hoodlum kids messin up my lawn. I have an Akrapovic shorty exhaust on that gixxer. I have left out the baffle for performance reasons and I know for a fact I have lost hearing due to that. Going all out with the bike is one thing. As a DD, dealing with all that racket every hangover morning on the way to work for <10hp is another.

    A nice soft top with all the hinges and brackets and all. First thing I did was put a hard top on it, just remembered I put the soft top in the attic.

    From my limited knowledge, all CR's came with an aluminum hardtop (because it has no softtop), the only options were A/C and the stereo.
