pick up a beater and do it. I feel the same way, I hate racking up miles on my S.

At the same time, you can't really ask for a DD that better combines fun and reliability. It just lacks space...and a tall 6th gear for highway cruising.

I was looking at newer S'. I went and looked at a 05 with 70,000 and a 06 laguna blue with 50,000. For that kind of coin I wanted a perfect car. My S I bought off a close friend for less than half what I was going to spend on the other cars. Sure it's been wrecked and sure it's a Ap1 but it has a nice top and the girlfriend and I love it. Plus if I did have a newer one right now, I'd care for it alot more than my current one. I daily drive my S, which includes going to a shipyard where people don't respect cars.

I have a 99 Civic four door for my kid. It gets 45mpg and I hardly drive it. The S is sooo much fun(and mine is stock save for a shift knob and lowering springs). AC is all new. Motor/trans is solid and the diff is okay now.

(I'm actually wishing someone would hit it. Full respray would come alot quicker)

My AP1 is a happy medium...nice enough that I enjoy spending time cleaning and taking care of it, but not so pristine that I'm afraid to take it out of the garage.

So has anyone heard or does anyone own a J's 70rr? How obnoxious am I going to be to any decent hardworking person?

That's one thing that bugs me about my current 08 GPW, it's in showroom condition, super low miles, and I love keeping it in the garage where it's safe and clean. I put 50k miles on my Laguna, and enjoyed driving the crap out of it, so I guess I don't feel like I have to DRIVE an S2000 to appreciate it anymore.

The 70RR is probably one of the loudest exhausts for the S. Like spitting fire type loud.

If you want a GPW w/red interior, it would have to be an 07+. The 07s having two-tone red, and the 08/09s having only red carpet and red seats. And you will pay a premium for a low mileage GPW AP2.

Stop by SoM to check out the bumper last night. Still needs some work, but hoping to have it on the car next week. Joey had this thing looking like pure glass. Amazing considering it's fiberglass.




Also got these in not too long ago. Custom made H decals which resemble the ones that were on the Honda F1 car.

Who has a Gears lip? Seeing as how I had only 1 of 4 real ones ever made 10 years ago, I'm pretty sure you are mistaken haha.

Mistaken about what? That it's pretty? Or was this you playing it cool while mentioning you had a super rare JDM bro lip? Congratulations.
