S2000 Madness

dingleberries · 08-11-2009, 11:25 AM

so ive been without my car for about 11 days now... I drive an hour between work both ways everyday and have been using a camry and a minivan

I think im lossing my mind not driving my car or maybe im in withdraw because my s2000 pumps happy drugs through my air vents. I find myself irritable and not enjoying my day to day life anymore... im sure im not the only one who has had this experience

haha I have this same feeling anytime I go out of town and rent a car, BUT I do not get this feeling when I drive my daily. I guess it's cuz I know I can drive it anytime.

But regardless, I know how you feel brotha

Here is an option, Piazza Honda, the Limerick location on Lewis Rd, as an 06 for sale that only has 2375 or so miles on it. Go over and take it for test drive and get it up to 2500 miles.

I live in Douglassville and work in Ambler, looks like we go in oppisite directions.

Why did you pick Piazza in Reading to fix the engine and not the one in Pottstown?

RayYay · 08-11-2009, 01:10 PM

Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I am beginning to see a pattern. You guys live in Pennsylvania and there's a town called Reading? Where is B&O and Shortline?

Red Fun for 2 · 08-11-2009, 01:12 PM

Yep that's the Reading Rail Road that use to run from Reading to Atlantic City, which is where the Monoply game got it from.

i chose piazza reading because i know the guy whos working on my car and hes real good at what he does he has a couple of 500hp civics and a few other high horse cars plus i know im not getting raked over the coals. what kind of s2k u got red?

I hate not driving my S2000 when I started my turbo project I didn't know what a bad time it was to start it so many non car related problems so i could only work on it about one day a week.... I didn't get to drive her for a month and a half

but it was well worth it when it was done....

Picked up a 2003 NFR with only 9,800 miles, it was at the Ridge Pike location.

Went 10 months without driving my baby. Came home and 3 months later went into the shop for 3 months. For those 3 months I was rolling in a 92 F-150. Got half the mileage and five times the dissapointment. I redlined the truck and it sounded like all the engine's horses had an asthma attack.

Needless to say I was gald to get the car back.

dingleberries · 08-11-2009, 08:13 PM
