Just got it!

I drove my coworkers S2000 last year right after I bought an Acura RSX (pissed me off pretty good). I searched for about 15 weeks and found the S2K that I was looking for. It’s a black on black 2005 that was sold in 2006 and has 8,000 miles. I got it for about $4,000 less than most that met the same criteria. Anyway I’m new to the forum and love my new car.

Welcome aboard 'Hatter. From your little RSX sidetrip, I'd venture that you're probably enjoyin' yourself bigtime.
Wear it in good health.
Two warnin's: 1) Stewie ain't very forgivin' of abrupt change when you're heavy into a corner. You've probably already godditt covered, but I'd rather say it, even if it ain't necessary than not say it n' . . well, you know.
And 2) The stupid Stewie grin. You'll not realize that it's on your face after a ride n' kin n' neighbors'll be lookin' at'cha nervously. I'm pretty sure we all go through it.
Be well.

It's great to have you aboard! Lucky you, living in Fla means you're driving around with the top down most of the time.

I still take a gander of stewie when I park it and walk away! GORGEOUS!

Thanks Java, gomarlins3, and S2000dude. I’ve noticed it get a little squirrelly in the corner. I have a roundabout near my house and gave it a little kick my first day. Thanks for the advice Java. I still haven’t tried to find the limits yet. I've had around 8 cars now and none can compare to the S2K. Honda really knows how to make an enjoyable 4 cylinder.
