    Default New Toy for me.. is been a while..

    So, Is been a long time since I purchased something decent.. I mean, last nice car I purchased was my C5 in 2007 and after that, was a family CRV.. and a Cavalier :/ yes, for daily drive though .. Anyways, I started getting tired of the cavalier, however, I wanted something I always wanted and was waiting for the price to be right and in good condition. Well, I found one, almost spotless, 2001 s2000 and only 28K miles.. Car still smells like new, so the air freshener had to be good.

    Of course, will remain stock besides the wheels I had sprayed... This will be my new daily putt putt and I can finally sell the cavalier lmao

    Damn, Julio. You've always wanted one of those? I thought you were better than that, man.

    Haha. Not bad, dude, but definitely not something I would have thought I'd see you in.

    I honestly don't know, Juliizzle. I just wouldn't have taken you for a compact convertible type dude. All those years in your hatch I guess, got me thinking that way, lolol.

    Sure did... Did you not notice he has painted brake calipers, wheels, and aftermarket S badges? Just wanted to know if he wanted another cosmetic to add to his car that doesn't involve performance.

    Will let you know. Im actually looking to see if I can find a set of stock wheels without any paint. The reason i sprayed them was because the previous owner had them painted some jacked up gold color. I will be buying a set of stock badges. The only thing Im doing, actually today is swapping out the head unit and factory speakers, they blow.

    Nice! I bet the fuel economy is 10x better than the vette, for when you don't need all 8 cylinders.

    Well done Julio. As a roadster person myself, it's really fun to have.
    I've thought about looking into S2Ks myself.

    They will run forever. My AP1 had 283k miles without a rebuild and still pulled hard.


    But gas mileage is not the best in them.

    The car was a mule for brandos air jack system. So when they went to events it was used. The car was tracked alot and got driven all over the world. Dont let sinfix's stupid mis informed comments disturb your thoughts...lol
